Illinois at Indiana, Saturday: Now this game, not the Iowa-Illinois game, looks like one of the games to decide the Big Ten title race. Indiana can create some distance between the neighboring state schools by putting potentially three league losses on the Illini.

Georgetown at Pittsburgh, Saturday: The rematch is within a two-week window and the Hoyas have to be frustrated after letting a likely win slip away to the Panthers. A Pittsburgh win would silence any Hoyas hopes of catching them for second.

Army at Navy, Saturday: While this rivalry is better on the football field, this is a good season to enjoy the one on the basketball court for obvious reasons.

Penn vs. Saint Joseph's, Saturday: Penn didn't have Andrew Toole when the two teams met during the Philadelphia Classic. But the Quakers aren't playing as well as they were in December. Saint Joseph's can't afford another non-conference slip.

Cincinnati at South Florida, Saturday: The Bearcats have a few chances to lose in Conference USA and this is one of them. The Bulls need another high-profile win to help its average NCAA Tournament resume.

Arkansas State at Western Kentucky, Saturday: Chris Marcus' status is still in doubt, making this supposedly great matchup between two of the best big men (Marcus vs. Jason Jennings) a question mark.

Alabama at Kentucky, Saturday: Georgia went into Kentucky and won and then Alabama won at Georgia. Does that mean the Tide can wash up in Lexington and beat the Wildcats? Not quite. But a win would certainly do wonders for the Tide's road confidence and SEC West title hopes.

Vermont at Michigan, Saturday: The Catamounts looked like they had a legitimate shot to win this game before losing at Hartford Sunday. T.J. Sorrentine's 45 points earlier in the week were downgraded Sunday with only 10. But don't be shocked if this one is still very close.

Kent State at Bowling Green, Saturday: Kent State, Bowling Green, Ohio and Ball State have emerged as the elite teams in the MAC. The winner keeps pace with the Bobcats in the East Division. The matchup of Bowling Green's Keith McLeod and Kent State's Trevor Huffman should be one of the better point guard battles this season.

Southern Illinois at Northern Iowa, Saturday: Creighton and Wichita State earlier in the week and then this matchup on the weekend provide the Missouri Valley with a four-team showdown atop the standings.

Hawaii at Tulsa, Saturday: The Rainbow Warriors better be coming off a win over Rice for this game to mean something. Hawaii has had success in Tulsa, winning the conference tournament there last season. But Tulsa can go a long way toward winning the WAC regular-season title with a win.

Florida at Arkansas, Saturday: The Gators need to make up for the home loss to Georgia with a road win that might be harder to come by for other teams. If Brandon Dean is out for the Razorbacks then the Gators do have a better chance.

Oklahoma at Texas Tech, Saturday (1 p.m. ET, ABC): Bob Knight will likely have the Red Raiders ready for some payback after they were trounced by the Sooners last week in Norman. A win here would certainly say a lot about the Sooners' mental toughness.

Texas at Baylor, Saturday: This is a dangerous game for the Longhorns. Baylor is good enough to beat the elite teams at home. Texas doesn't have the point guard to hang with T.J. Ford, but they do have a frontcourt that can rebound with the Longhorns.

Connecticut at Arizona, Saturday: The Huskies have been one of the hottest teams in the nation but Arizona will be thinking about a little payback after losing to Connecticut on a disputed goaltending call last season in Storrs.

New Mexico at Wyoming, Saturday: The Lobos haven't had success winning the must games on the road in the Mountain West recently. This is their chance to correct the past failures.

Stanford at USC, Saturday (6 p.m. PT only, ABC): Stanford could be going for a sweep, a split or to avoid a dreaded 0-for-2 on a critical trip South.

Cal at UCLA, Saturday: The same could be said for the Bears in their quest to hang with the L.A. schools, Stanford, Arizona and Oregon in one of the most competitive races for a league title.

Virginia at Duke, Sunday: Virginia has to shoot 3s like it did against Florida State to hang with the Blue Devils. And their defense has to be better than it was in the first few minutes against the Seminoles. They can't afford to get in a double-digit hole to Duke.
