        Big 12 Battle
        By Sportsbook.ag

        OKLAHOMA STATE COWBOYS (15-2) at KANSAS JAYHAWKS (12-4)

        Sportsbook.ag Line: Kansas -5

        No. 15 Kansas has things rolling in the Big 12, and has a chance to create some separation at the top of the conference when it hosts No. 9 Oklahoma State on Saturday.

        This rivalry heated up last season, as both teams were able to go on the road and steal a victory. Cowboys PG Marcus Smart (17.7 PPG, 5.5 RPG. 4.2 APG) had a huge game in Lawrence last season, scoring 25 points with nine rebounds and five steals in the 85-80 victory that snapped KU's 33-game home win streak. Smart was especially dominating at the end of the game, grabbing many key rebounds for second-chance points. But the Jayhawks got their revenge 18 days later with a 68-67, double-overtime win in Stillwater. Add the fact that there was some off-court talk this season from Smart about Kansas star SF Andrew Wiggins (15.8 PPG, 6.3 RPG) and emotions are going to be very high on Saturday afternoon. The Cowboys (7-6 ATS) have had their struggles on the road (2-6 ATS away from home), especially during conference play, as they lost at Kansas State and had to hang on at 5.5-point underdog West Virginia for the one-point victory. The Cowboys offense has been the key to success this season, ranking 12th in the nation with 84.8 PPG, while shooting 49.0% FG (17th in Div. I). However, they will be going up against a Jayhawks team that has crushed its three Big 12 opponents by an average score of 84 to 71. More impressively, Kansas has shot 50% or better from the field in six of nine games since December began. The Jayhawks are 13-5 SU (9-9 ATS) in the past 18 matchups with Oklahoma State, and are 10-1 SU (7-4 ATS) in the past 11 home meetings with OSU.

        Oklahoma State is as talented in the backcourt as anybody in the country, and it's just not the Marcus Smart show. The team holds an excellent 1.4 Ast/TO ratio with 14.4 APG and just 10.4 TOPG (23rd-fewest in nation). SG Markel Brown (16.6 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 2.9 APG) is one of the most athletic guards in the country, and has had some monster games against Kansas teams in his career. He averaged 24.0 PPG and 4.0 APG in the two games last season, including a 28-point outburst in Lawrence. He hit an impressive 7-of-10 three-pointers at Allen Fieldhouse, and was the reason why the Cowboys got off to a big lead. Brown and Smart are going to get their points, but another key player is swingman Le’Bryan Nash (13.5 PPG on 52% FG, 5.9 RPG). Nash is a supreme talent, but has too many games where he tends to disappear, including two lackluster games against the Jayhawks last season (7.5 PPG on 5-of-17 FG with 2.0 RPG). In the conference opener against Texas, Nash scored only two points, but has 15.5 PPG and 7.0 RPG in his past two contests. With his size and athleticism, he is going to be matched up against Andrew Wiggins a lot, and must have a big game. However, the biggest weakness of the Cowboys is their lack of frontcourt depth, and that will play a huge factor against a KU frontcourt that is playing as well as anybody in the country. The Cowboys have been outrebounded in six of their past nine games and lost C Michael Cobbins, who he was their best shot blocker (1.5 BPG) and only true post presence, to a season-ending Achilles injury. Sophomore C Kamari Murphy (5.9 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.4 BPG) will have to have a career game, as he will be matched up against freshman phenom Joel Embiid.

        Andrew Wiggins got a lot of the talk as the top freshman in the nation, but he might not even be the best first-year player on his own team. PF Joel Embiid (10.9 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 2.6 BPG) has been absolutely dominant in conference play. In the Jayhawks' huge victory over Iowa State on Monday, Embiid took over in the second half to help KU pull away. He was a force on both ends of the court, finishing the game with 16 points, nine rebounds and five blocks. The only negatives were that fouled out and had seven turnovers, and he will have to fix that because the Cowboys can be lethal in the transition. Embiid also must control his emotions in this game. He has now received a flagrant foul in two consecutive games, which will prompt opposing teams to rattle the freshman. Another key contributor in the game against the Cyclones was PG Naadir Tharpe (9.0 PPG, 40% threes, 5.3 APG). While he is not the most talented Jayhawks player, the junior point guard is the lone veteran on the team, and he showed it with 23 points, six rebounds and four assists on Monday in Ames. When he is under control and making the right decisions (2.6 Ast/TO ratio), Kansas is nearly unbeatable. The Jayhawks have not been a juggernaut on offense all season, as they rank 43rd in the nation in scoring (78.9 PPG), but have turned it on as of late with six 75-point games in the past seven contests, averaging 81.3 PPG during that stretch. Sophomore PF Perry Ellis (13.3 PPG on 56% FG, 6.7 RPG) and freshman SG Wayne Selden Jr. (10.1 PPG, 40% threes) give Kansas two more scorers that are capable of having big games. Ellis is a talented post player that can score all over the court, while Selden has stepped up his offense in Big 12 play, averaging 17.0 PPG on 53% FG in the three conference victories. Selden will be huge in this matchup as he will see a lot of time against Smart, and unlike most guards in the Big 12, Selden has the size and strength to compete with Smart. This one-on-one matchup could end up being a huge key in determining the outcome of this game. For the Jayhawks, they are the only undefeated team in Big 12 play. A win against the Cowboys, and KU could start to create some separation from its conference foes.

          Saturday's Top 25 NCAAB Vheat Sheet: Late Games
          By Covers.com

          Here's a quick look at the marquee late games on Saturday's NCAA basketball schedule:

          Michigan Wolverines at Wisconsin Badgers (-8.5)

          Nik Stauskas leads the Wolverines and is third in the Big Ten in scoring (17.7) while shooting almost 50 percent – 45.1 from 3-point range. Others have stepped up since the loss of center Mitch McGary to back surgery, led by Glenn Robinson III (13.9 points), while 6-8 Jordan Morgan scored 31 combined the last three games with increased playing time. Guard Caris LeVert is third on the team at 11.5 points per game.

          Guard Traevon Jackson poured in a career-high 21 points against Indiana, making nine of his 11 shots, and is one of four players averaging at least 11 points. Sam Dekker scores 14 points per contest and 7-0 Frank Kaminsky is next at 13.5 while making 56.2 percent from the field and 21-of-44 from 3-point range. Brust (13.1) is third on the team in scoring and has made 42.3 percent from behind the arc.

          TRENDS:

          * Wolverines are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six Saturday games.
          * Badgers are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games.
          * Over is 15-6-1 in Michigan's last 22 road games.
          * Under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings.


          Michigan State Spartans at Illinois Fighting Illini (+5)

          The Spartans’ 54-40 win over Northwestern on Wednesday marked their lowest offensive and defensive totals of the season. Senior forward Adreian Payne, who averages 16.2 points and 7.7 rebounds, didn't play for the second game in a row due to a foot injury and is considered questionable Saturday. Sophomore guard Gary Harris leads the team in scoring (17.2) but is 1-for-14 from 3-point range over the last two games.

          Leading scorer Rayvonte Rice (17.7 points, 5.9 rebounds) strained his abductor muscle in last weekend’s loss to Northwestern and he’s scored a total of 19 points on 5-of-20 shooting the past two games. Coach John Groce was furious with his team’s effort in the loss to Purdue, saying his team got tossed around like “rag dolls.” The Illini’s slump comes at the worst possible time, as the team enters a stretch of four ranked opponents in five games.

          TRENDS:

          * Spartans are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following a victory.
          * Illini are 11-27-1 ATS in their last 39 games vs. Big Ten foes.
          * Under is 8-1 in Michigan State's last nine road games.
          * Under is 18-8 in Illinois' last 26 games.


          UNLV Runnin' Rebels at San Diego State Aztecs (-9)

          Bryce Dejean-Jones missed his only two attempts from beyond the arc versus New Mexico but his teammates combined to go 7-for-11 from long distance. That represents a vast improvement from an early issue in conference play, as the Runnin' Rebels had made just 10-of-52 3-pointers in their first three Mountain West games. Leading sharpshooter Kevin Olekaibe was 4-for-5 on Wednesday after being held without a 3-pointer the previous game.

          The Aztecs are 9-1 overall in games decided by 10 points or fewer, the lone blemish being a nine-point defeat at the hands of top-ranked Arizona more than two months ago. The ability to close out games bodes well for the long-term aspirations of head coach Steve Fisher's squad, which might avoid some of those tight finishes if it can improve upon its foul shooting.

          TRENDS:

          * Runnin' Rebels are 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13 games.
          * Aztecs are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games vs. the Mountain West.
          * Over is 7-1 in UNLV's last eight games.
          * Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four games.


          Massachusetts Minutemen at Elon Phoenix (+4.5)

          Point guard Chaz Williams spent much of this week in a walking boot, but his left ankle appeared to be fine as he racked up 26 points and eight assists on Wednesday against George Mason. Williams is sixth in the league in scoring at 16.1 points per game and ranks second nationally with 7.6 assists per game. The Phoenix did take the Minutemen to overtime last season in Springfield, Mass.

          Forward Lucas Troutman has been a huge part of Elon’s latest three-game win streak, averaging 20 points per game including a season-high 28-point outburst against Davidson. Troutman’s biggest improvement from last season has been at the free-throw line, where he is up to 73 percent on nearly five trips per game.
          Saturday is the first time Elon has hosted a ranked team at Alumni Gym.

          TRENDS:

          * Minutemen are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games.
          * Phoenix are 6-19-1 ATS in their last 26 Saturday games.
          * Under is 5-1 in Massachusetts' last six games.
          * Over is 9-2 in Elon's last 11 home games vs. teams with winning road records.


          Louisville Cardinals at Connecticut Huskies (+1)

          The Cardinals haven't had much success against ranked teams - going 0-3 in those matchups - but remains perfect against everyone else. That includes a 4-1 mark in American Athletic Conference play, including consecutive victories over Southern Methodist and Houston. Russ Smith paces the Louisville offense with 18.1 points per game, while Montrezl Harrell averages 11.7 points (on 62.2 percent from the field) and a team-best 8.2 rebounds.

          The Huskies began conference play with consecutive losses to Houston and SMU, but bounced back nicely with a win over Central Florida and a stunning defeat of nationally-ranked Memphis. Shabazz Napier remains one of the most versatile players in Division I, leading Connecticut in points (16.1), rebounds (6.2), assists (6.2) and steals (2.1) while shooting 86.6 percent from the line and 42.9 percent from 3-point range.

          TRENDS:

          * Cardinals are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win.
          * Huskies are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games.
          * Over is 17-4 in Louisville's last 21 games following a victory.
          * Under is 7-1 in Connecticut's last eight home games.


          Cincinnati Bearcats at South Florida Bulls (+8)

          The Bearcats are off to their best conference start since 2002-03 when they opened 6-0 in Conference USA play. In addition to Kilpatrick, Forward Justin Jackson is scoring in double digits, averaging 11.7 points and a team-high 7.7 rebounds for Cincinnati, which has the stingiest defense in the AAC, allowing opponents an average of 56.3 points a game. The Bearcats have gone 25 straight games in holding opponents under 70 points.

          Coming off of its first road loss of the season, the Bulls return home where they are 6-4. South Florida is led by forward Victor Rudd (15.5) and guard Corey Allen Jr. (11.8) with Rudd also topping the Bulls in rebounding at seven per game. Rudd topped 1,000 career points in the loss to SMU, which held the senior to a season-low five points, but the Arizona transfer still needs 34 points to reach the milestone at South Florida.

          TRENDS:

          * Bearcats are 4-0 ATS in their last four Saturday games.
          * Bulls are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games.
          * Under is 44-12 in Cincinnati's last 56 games.
          * Under is 10-1 in South Florida's last 11 Saturday games.


          Creighton Bluejays at Providence Friars (+4.5)

          The 19th-ranked Bluejays have won their two league road tests by an average of 16 points, paced by the nation’s second-leading scorer in Doug McDermott, and boast the most 3-pointers in the country with 191. McDermott averages 25.2 points and a team-high 7.2 rebounds, making 49.5 percent of his shots, as Creighton leads the league at 82.6 points a contest. Ethan Wragge is the only other Bluejay averaging in double figures scoring at 11.9.

          Bryce Cotton averages 20.2 points and a league-best 5.8 assists while being forced to take over the point guard duties after Kris Dunn was lost for the season with an injury. Three other players average in double figures scoring the Friars, who have only six active players averaging more than 7 1/2 minutes of playing time. Tyler Harris scores 13.4 points per game, Kadeem Batts chips in with 12.8 and LaDontae Henton averages a team-best 7.4 rebounds.

          TRENDS:

          * Bluejays are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games following an ATS win.
          * Friars are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games.
          * Under is 16-5-1 in Creighton's last 22 road games.
          * Under is 9-2 in Providence's last 11 games following a victory.

            Saturday's Top 25 NCAAB Vheat Sheet: Early Games
            By Covers.com

            Here's a quick look at the marquee early games on Saturday's NCAA basketball schedule:

            Tennessee Volunteers at Kentucky Wildcats (-9.5)

            Jordan McRae has emerged as one of the SEC’s top scorers, leading Tennessee at 18.4 points per game and ranking tied for sixth in the league. Another strength for the Volunteers has been on the glass, where they rank behind only Kentucky in the SEC in rebounding margin. Saturday’s game pits the top two rebounders in the SEC against each other – with Tennessee’s Jarnell Stokes (9.6 per game) up against Kentucky phenom Julius Randle (11.1).

            On the strength of its front line, the Wildcats have dominated the paint for much of their season. It starts with Randle (16.9 points), but Willie Cauley-Stein has also taken major steps forward in his second year in Lexington. The 7-0 Olathe, Kan. native has racked up 7.6 rebounds per game, and has cracked double-figure scoring in three of Kentucky’s last five games.

            TRENDS:

            * Volunteers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games vs. the SEC.
            * Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games.
            * Under is 8-2 in Tennessee's last 10 games vs. teams with winning records.
            * Home team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.


            Oklahoma Sooners at Baylor Bears (-6.5)

            Cameron Clark leads the Sooners with 17.3 points and Buddy Hield adds 16.5 points, although he's averaging 18.5 in league games. Spangler, who leads the Big 12 with 9.5 rebounds, has shot 50 percent from the floor or better in all 17 games. Jordan Woodard (11.4 points) and Isaiah Cousins (10.6) also average double figures, and the Sooners starters have combined for 95 of the team's 123 steals.

            Jefferson has six double-doubles and leads the Bears with 13.2 points and 8.4 rebounds. Kenny Chery adds 11.6 points and a 2.7 assist-to-turnover ratio while Austin gives the Bears, who are 9-0 at home, 10.3 points and a league-best 46 blocks. Taurean Prince has scored in double figures in four of his last five games and leads the Bears during that five-game stretch with 15.2 points on 60.5 percent shooting.
            TRENDS:

            * Sooners are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 Saturday games.
            * Bears are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games.
            * Over is 20-6 in Oklahoma's last 26 games.
            * Over is 13-5 in the last 18 meetings.


            North Carolina State Wolfpack at Duke Blue Devils (-14)

            The Wolfpack did what Duke couldn’t by winning at Notre Dame on Jan. 7, but have since dropped two straight. NC State led Wake Forest by eight at the half but fell behind when Warren picked up his fourth foul midway through the second and could not stop a layup in the final seconds. Part of the problem for the Wolfpack is the lack of scoring options behind Warren, as only Anthony Barber (11.5) and Desmond Lee (10.2) join him in double figures.

            Blue Devils star forward Jabari Parker averaged 21.4 points in non-conference play but is putting up 10.5 against ACC foes, including eight on 3-of-11 shooting in the 69-65 win over Virginia. The forward will have his hands full at the defensive end on Saturday as part of the group assigned to Wolfpack forward T.J. Warren, who leads the ACC in scoring at 22.2 points.

            TRENDS:

            * Wolfpack are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 Saturday games.
            * Blue Devils are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games.
            * Under is 9-3 in NC State's last 12 games against ACC foes.
            * Over is 15-5-1 in the last 21 meetings.


            USC Trojans at Colorado Buffaloes (-11)

            USC's Strahinja Gavrilovic played more than nine minutes just twice in the first 16 games and had not scored more than four points, but the 6-8 forward from Serbia gained attention by scoring 10 points in 19 minutes against top-ranked Arizona on Sunday. He was rewarded with 20 minutes against Utah and came back with nine points on an efficient 4-for-6 shooting.

            Josh Scott should be prepared for a good test against 7-2 center Omar Oraby of USC. Scott, a 6-10 sophomore, was the best big man in the UCLA game, finishing with 19 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, but the Bruins don’t have a true center like Oraby. Dustin Thomas is the best frontcourt player off the bench for the Buffaloes and the 6-7 freshman forward is another player who needs to step up in Dinwiddie’s absence.

            TRENDS:

            * Trojans are 7-19-2 ATS in their last 28 road games.
            * Buffaloes are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 Saturday games.
            * Over is 4-0 in USC's last four road games.
            * Under is 14-4 in Colorado's last 18 games following a loss.


            Le Moyne-Owen Magicians at Memphis Tigers (OFF)

            The Magicians, who play in the Division II Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, will need a miracle to keep up with the powerhouse Tigers. LeMoyne-Owen is coming off an 85-75 loss to Fort Valley State, dropping to 1-5 in conference play and 3-10 overall. The Magicians were led by Daequan Mitchell-Fie, who had 20 points; Marcel Hawkins added 18 points while Jerry Hampton added 15 in defeat.

            Tigers star Shaq Goodwin put up 15 points and eight rebounds in a 73-67 win at Louisville and was even stronger in Saturday’s 79-69 triumph at Temple, collecting 23 points and 11 boards. The display earned the sophomore forward his second AAC Player of the Week award this season and propelled Memphis higher up the national rankings. Connecticut limited him to 10 points in the Tigers' last outing, an 83-73 Huskies victory.

            TRENDS:

            * Tigers are 0-5 ATS in their last five road games.
            * Under is 9-4 in Memphis' last 13 games.


            Fordham Rams at Saint Louis Billikens (-18.5)

            Bronx-based Fordham is off to a dismal start, having gone 0-3 versus Atlantic 10 opponents and losing five straight overall. The Rams are coming off an 80-68 defeat at the hands of Dayton on Wednesday, their third consecutive home defeat. Jon Severe and Brenden Frazier form a potent 1-2 scoring punch in the Fordham lineup; they combined to score 33 points against the Flyers but shot just 7-for-27 from the field.

            Saint Louis has entered the national picture thanks to a 10-game winning streak that includes four wins away from Chaifetz Arena. Billikens leading scorer Dwayne Evans poured in 18 points and Rob Loe added 11 rebounds, four assists and three blocked shots in Saint Louis' previous win, a 66-60 triumph over the St. Bonaventure Bonnies. The Billikens' only two losses - against No. 10 Wisconsin and No. 12 Wichita State - came by a combined 11 points.

            TRENDS:

            * Rams are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a loss.
            * Billikens are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 Saturday games.
            * Over is 4-0 in Fordham's last four Saturday games.
            * Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.


            Pittsburgh Panthers at Syracuse Orange (-5.5)

            The Panthers have won six in a row, including an 81-74 victory at Georgia Tech on Tuesday in which Talib Zanna posted 22 points and nine rebounds. Playing without sixth man Durand Johnson (ACL tear), Pittsburgh received 70 of its 81 points from the starters and absolutely dominated the glass. "The rebounding was something we came in and had to do, and had to win that on the road," said Dixon, whose team outrebounded the Yellow Jackets, 38-18.

            Coach Jim Boeheim spoke critically after Monday's 69-59 win at Boston College, even though his team put up respectable numbers from the field (45.3 percent), the 3-point line (4-of-10) and foul line (17-of-21). Sophomore guard Trevor Cooney bailed out the team with 21 points while freshman backcourt mate Tyler Ennis had 12 points, six steals and five assists. Ennis has 13 games with at least five assists.

            TRENDS:

            * Panthers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight against the ACC.
            * Orange are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games.
            * Over is 9-2 in Pittsburgh's last 11 games.
            * Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings in Syracuse.


            Indiana State Sycamores at Wichita State Shockers (-11.5)

            No. 5 Wichita State could face its biggest hurdle to an undefeated regular season Saturday when it hosts Indiana State in a battle of the only unbeaten teams in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Shockers enter the showdown tied with No. 1 Arizona for the most wins in Division I and could be the fresher team after going deep into its bench in Tuesday's lopsided victory over Bradley.

            The Sycamores trailed for under two minutes in Wednesday's victory over Missouri State, the same team that had Wichita State down 18 points before the Shockers rallied to victory. Greg Lansing's team is 5-0 in league play for the first time since the Larry Bird-led Sycamores went 16-0 during the 1978-79 season, which ended with a loss in the national championship game.

            TRENDS:

            * Sycamores are 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games.
            * Shockers are 12-3-2 ATS in their last 17 games following an ATS win.
            * Over is 5-1 in Indiana State's last six road games.
            * Under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings.


            DePaul Blue Demons at Villanova Wildcats (-17.5)

            The Blue Demons' last three wins have come by a combined eights points, including a 99-94 double-overtime victory at Butler. That's a sign of budding maturity for a team that leans heavily on freshmen Billy Garrett Jr. (11.6 points) and Tommy Hamilton IV (9.5 points, 5.3 rebounds). The two have emerged to complement the senior duo of Cleveland Melvin (16.6 points, 6.6 rebounds) and Brandon Young (14.6 points, 4.2 assists).

            The Wildcats struggled on offense in their 74-67 win at St. John's, belying their typical efficiency at that end of the floor. Pinkston (16.1 points, 5.4 rebounds) leads a trio of double-digit scorers and has been even more effective in conference play, and Darrun Hilliard (13.9 points) and James Bell (13.8) also can put up big numbers. Villanova freshman Josh Hart (9.9), has been named Big East Rookie of the Week three times in the past four weeks.

            TRENDS:

            * Blue Demons are 5-1 ATS in their last six games.
            * Wildcats are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games following an ATS win.
            * Under is 7-1 in DePaul's last eight road games.
            * Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings.


            Florida Gators at Auburn Tigers (+7.5)

            Gators leading scorer Casey Prather, who has missed the past two games due to a bone bruise in his right knee, was cleared for contact Friday but coach Billy Donovan said it's doubtful he'll play significant minutes. That won't be the case for sophomore guard Michael Frazier II, who scored a career-high 21 points in Tuesday's win. Frazier is the conference leader in 3-point field goal percentage at 47.3.

            The strength of the Tigers is in the backcourt, which features the conference's leading scorer in senior Chris Denson (19.4) and third-leading scorer in junior KT Harrell (19.0). Denson's 272 points through 14 games are the highest by an Auburn player since the 1993-94 season while Harrell is the first Tiger to score in double figures in the first 14 games since 2002-03. Each guard has scored at least 20 points on six occasions this season.

            TRENDS:

            * Gators are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games.
            * Tigers are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games following a loss.
            * Under is 19-7-1 in Florida's last 26 games.
            * Under is 4-1 in Auburn's last five home games.


            Oklahoma State Cowboys at Kansas Jayhawks (-4)

            The Cowboys dominated TCU 82-50 at home on Wednesday but have struggled a bit on the road with the loss at Kansas State and a narrow 73-72 decision over West Virginia last weekend. Markel Brown scored 28 points and Smart had 25 when the Cowboys stunned then-No. 2 Kansas 85-80 at Allen Fieldhouse last season. Oklahoma State G Phil Forte leads the Big 12 in 3-point shooting at 47.9 percent.

            Most of the Jayhawks’ core was not around for that home loss to Oklahoma State last season, and the trio of Wiggins, Embiid and Selden Jr. is getting stronger as the season moves along. Wiggins’ 19 boards on Monday were one shy of Kansas’ freshman record and Embiid is 12-for-15 from the field in the last two games while coming up one rebound shy of a double-double in each.

            TRENDS:

            * Cowboys are 8-19 ATS in their last 27 games vs. teams with winning records.
            * Jayhawks are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games vs. the Big 12.
            * Over is 11-4 in Oklahoma State's last 15 Saturday games.
            * Road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings.


            UCLA Bruins at Utah Utes (+2.5)

            Norman Powell finally put up good numbers against a quality opponent Thursday, and if the Bruins can squeeze 19 points out of him every game they’d have a lot better chance of staying on Arizona’s heels. Powell is shooting 15-for-25 in the last three games and Anderson is wise enough to know who has the hot hand when it's time to pass the ball.

            The Bruins aren’t a strong rebounding team in their frontcourt so Jordan Loveridge can do some damage if he works hard enough. He won’t have a size advantage at 6-6, but knows how to leverage his body and work the angles to average a team-high 8.2 rebounds. Dallin Bachynski, a 7-foot reserve center, could do significant damage in a half-court setting as UCLA doesn’t have anyone that can match up with him one-on-one.

            TRENDS:

            * Bruins are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games vs. Pacific 12 opponents.
            * Utes are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 Saturday games.
            * Under is 5-0 in UCLA's last five road games.
            * Under is 6-2 in Utah's last eight games.

                Saturday's Early Top-25 Match-ups


                #529 TENNESSEE @ #530 KENTUCKY
                (TV: Noon EST, CBS - Line: Kentucky -8, Total: N/A) - No. 12 Kentucky will look to bounce back from an overtime stunner at Arkansas when it kicks off a three-game homestand with a visit from Tennessee on Saturday afternoon. Despite the loss in Fayetteville, Kentucky coach John Calipari said he was happy with the way his team repeatedly clawed back from deficits late. “I’m proud of my team that they didn’t quit, they kept playing,” Calipari told the Louisville Courier-Journal.


                Tennessee has won five of six to surge back into the NCAA Tournament picture, but is searching for its first win at Rupp Arena since 2006. The Volunteers, though, say the hostile environment of Lexington is nothing but a motivator. “As a basketball player, these are the types of games you live for,” Jeronne Maymon told the Knoxville News-Sentinel.


                •ABOUT TENNESSEE (11-5 SU, 8-6-0 ATS, 2-1 SEC): Jordan McRae has emerged as one of the SEC’s top scorers, leading Tennessee at 18.4 points per game and ranking tied for sixth in the league. Another strength for the Volunteers has been on the glass, where they rank behind only Kentucky in the SEC in rebounding margin. Saturday’s game pits the top two rebounders in the SEC against each other – with Tennessee’s Jarnell Stokes (9.6 per game) up against Kentucky phenom Julius Randle (11.1).


                •ABOUT KENTUCKY (12-4 SU, 6-6-2 ATS, 2-1 SEC): On the strength of its front line, the Wildcats have dominated the paint for much of their season. It starts with Randle (16.9 points), but Willie Cauley-Stein has also taken major steps forward in his second year in Lexington. The 7-0 Olathe, Kan. native has racked up 7.6 rebounds per game, and has cracked double-figure scoring in three of Kentucky’s last five games.


                •PREGAME NOTES: Kentucky is one of two South Eastern Conference teams averaging over 80 points per game.... Tennessee ranks third in the league in free-throw shooting at 70.2 percent.... The Volunteers have averaged 15.7 turnovers in three SEC games.

                #545 USC @ #546 COLORADO
                (TV: 2:00 PM EST, Fox Sports 1 - Line: Colorado -11, Total: N/A) - Colorado is hoping for better results when it hosts USC on Saturday, its third game since losing leading scorer Spencer Dinwiddie to a season-ending knee injury. Dinwiddie went down in the first half of a 17-point loss at Washington last Sunday and the Buffaloes returned home to play their first full game without their injured star Thursday and lost by 13 to No. 25 UCLA. The Buffaloes were held under 60 points in both losses, something they avoided in the first 16 games this season.


                The player who has inherited Dinwiddie’s spot in the starting lineup is freshman Jaron Hopkins, who was held to two points on 1-for-6 shooting against the Bruins and turned the ball over five times. Askia Booker will need to turn it up a notch as well and the junior guard already responded with a season-high 21 points against UCLA, which came on the heels of his 0-for-9 shooting performance against Washington. The Trojans are hungrier than ever for a victory and leading scorer Byron Wesley should be eager to bounce back from his eight-point performance in an 18-point loss Thursday night against Utah, just his second game in single digits this season.


                •ABOUT USC (9-9 SU, 6-8-1 ATS, 0-4 Pac-12): Strahinja Gavrilovic played more than nine minutes just twice in the first 16 games and had not scored more than four points, but the 6-8 forward from Serbia gained attention by scoring 10 points in 19 minutes against top-ranked Arizona on Sunday. He was rewarded with 20 minutes against Utah and came back with nine points on an efficient 4-for-6 shooting. He could begin to eat away at the minutes of fellow Serb Nikola Jovanovic, who has been limited to single digits in the last four games after scoring at least 12 in the previous six.


                •ABOUT COLORADO (14-4 SU, 9-8-0 ATS, 3-2 Pac-12): Josh Scott should be prepared for a good test against 7-2 center Omar Oraby of USC. Scott, a 6-10 sophomore, was the best big man in the UCLA game, finishing with 19 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, but the Bruins don’t have a true center like Oraby. Dustin Thomas is the best frontcourt player off the bench for the Buffaloes and the 6-7 freshman forward is another player who needs to step up in Dinwiddie’s absence.


                •PREGAME NOTES: Colorado hasn’t lost three in a row in the same season since dropping four straight from Jan 18-29, 2011, when the Buffaloes were still members of the Big 12.... Dinwiddie, Booker and Colorado's fourth-leading scorer, Xavier Johnson, are all from the L.A. area.... USC freshman F Roschon Prince played a season-low six minutes against Utah after averaging 13.2 in the first 17 games.

                #565 OKLAHOMA @ #566 BAYLOR
                (TV: 2:00 PM EST, ESPN2 - Line: Baylor -6, Total: N/A) - It could be a high-scoring affair Saturday as visiting Oklahoma and No. 13 Baylor try to bounce back from losses earlier in the week. The Sooners lead the Big 12 with an average of 85.8 points and have all five starters averaging double figures while Baylor (78.6 points) has four players averaging double digits. Oklahoma also leads the conference with 9.8 3-pointers in league games while the Bears are second with 7.3 3s.


                Oklahoma forward Ryan Spangler had a combined 37 points on 71.4 percent shooting and 29 rebounds in his last two games, recording his league-best seventh double-double. He will have a tough battle inside against Baylor big men Cory Jefferson and Isaiah Austin, who were held to a combined 12 points in Baylor's loss at Texas Tech on Wednesday. "We've got to find ways to get (Jefferson and Austin) the ball more," coach Scott Drew said in his post-game conference. "Texas Tech did a good job of being physical with them and not allowing them shots."


                •ABOUT OKLAHOMA (13-4 SU, 7-7-1 ATS, 2-2 Big 12): Cameron Clark leads the Sooners with 17.3 points and Buddy Hield adds 16.5 points, although he's averaging 18.5 in league games. Spangler, who leads the Big 12 with 9.5 rebounds, has shot 50 percent from the floor or better in all 17 games. Jordan Woodard (11.4 points) and Isaiah Cousins (10.6) also average double figures, and the Sooners starters have combined for 95 of the team's 123 steals.


                •ABOUT BAYLOR (13-3 SU, 4-6-0 ATS, 1-2 Big 12): Jefferson has six double-doubles and leads the Bears with 13.2 points and 8.4 rebounds. Kenny Chery adds 11.6 points and a 2.7 assist-to-turnover ratio while Austin gives the Bears, who are 9-0 at home, 10.3 points and a league-best 46 blocks. Taurean Prince has scored in double figures in four of his last five games and leads the Bears during that five-game stretch with 15.2 points on 60.5 percent shooting.


                •PREGAME NOTES: Baylor has won 13 straight at the Ferrell Center, the second-longest streak in arena history.... The Bears have won three of the past four home games against Oklahoma, but the Sooners lead the series 39-10, including a 17-5 mark in Waco.... Spangler has nine games of at least 10 rebounds while the Sooners, as a team, had just seven such performances last year.

                #567 N CAROLINA ST @ #568 DUKE
                (TV: 2:00 PM EST, CBS - Line: Duke -13.5, Total: N/A) - Duke restored some of its luster with a win on Monday but is still only .500 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The 20th-ranked Blue Devils will try to move past the even point when they host North Carolina State on Saturday. Duke squandered an 11-point lead against Virginia on Monday but came through down the stretch thanks to 21 points from Rasheed Sulaimon, who picked up some of the slack from freshman Jabari Parker.


                Parker averaged 21.4 points in non-conference play but is putting up 10.5 against ACC foes, including eight on 3-of-11 shooting in the 69-65 win over Virginia. The forward will have his hands full at the defensive end on Saturday as part of the group assigned to Wolfpack forward T.J. Warren, who leads the ACC in scoring at 22.2 points. Warren put up 22 points at Wake Forest on Wednesday but fouled out with under three minutes left and had to watch as his team suffered a 70-69 loss.


                •ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA STATE (11-6 SU, 6-7-1 ATS, 1-3 ACC): The Wolfpack did what Duke couldn’t by winning at Notre Dame on Jan. 7, but have since dropped two straight. NC State led Wake Forest by eight at the half but fell behind when Warren picked up his fourth foul midway through the second and could not stop a layup in the final seconds. Part of the problem for the Wolfpack is the lack of scoring options behind Warren, as only Anthony Barber (11.5) and Desmond Lee (10.2) join him in double figures.


                •ABOUT DUKE (13-4 SU, 9-8-0 ATS, 2-2 ACC): The Blue Devils changed things up on the defensive end against Virginia and went to a pressure system for 40 minutes, using 10 players in a five-for-five substitution pattern. “It was strange but it worked out well,” Sulaimon told reporters. “I knew (coach Mike Krzyzewski) was going to do something like that because he wanted us to pressure the ball for the entire 40 minutes, so he wanted us to have fresh legs.” Sulaimon, who was a healthy scratch against Michigan last month after a string of sub-par efforts, has scored in double figures in two of the last three games.


                •PREGAME NOTES: Duke has won 26 straight at home.... The Wolfpack rank last in the ACC in 3-point percentage at 29.2 while Duke shoots a league-leading 41.1 percent from beyond the arc.... Blue Devils F Amile Jefferson recorded a career-high 15 rebounds on Monday and has recorded double-digit rebounds in four of the last eight contests.

                #581 IOWA ST @ #582 TEXAS
                (TV: 4:00 PM EST, Big 12 Network, ESPN3 - Line: Iowa State -1.5, Total: N/A) - No. 10 Iowa State will try to stop a losing streak when it visits Texas on Saturday, but the Longhorns will present another big challenge for the Cyclones. Iowa State has allowed 55 second-chance points in its back-to-back losses and been outrebounded in all four Big 12 Conference games. "We were pretty good (at rebounding) in the non-conference portion of the schedule," Cylcones coach Fred Hoiberg said in his post-game press conference after Monday's 77-70 loss to Kansas. "You don't want this to become a trend moving forward. We're giving up inches every night. Our guys battle every night because, at pretty much every position, we're giving up size."


                Iowa State had a plus-5.8 rebounding advantage in non-conference games and now faces a Texas team that leads the Big 12 with 42.2 rebounds. The Longhorns, who have won back-to-back games, will have a slight size advantage with Cameron Ridley and Jonathan Holmes on the inside. Texas also leads the league in blocked shots and has held 10 opponents to under 40 percent shooting.


                •ABOUT IOWA STATE (14-2 SU, 9-5-0 ATS, 2-2 Big 12): Melvin Ejim leads the Cyclones - and is second in the Big 12 - with 17.8 points and averages 6.9 rebounds. DeAndre Kane adds 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds while Dustin Hogue contributes 12.4 and a team-high 9.3. Each of the three is shooting better than 50 percent from the floor as the Cyclones dropped their season average to 48.2 percent after a season-low 31.4-percent performance against Kansas.


                •ABOUT TEXAS (13-4 SU, 7-7-0 ATS, 2-2 Big 12): Holmes leads the Longhorns with 12.5 points and 7.3 rebounds while Ridley averages 10.6 and a team-high 7.4. Javan Felix is averaging 15.8 points over his last four games with 12 assists and six steals in that span. Freshman Isaiah Taylor averaged 12 points, 5.5 rebounds and four assists during Texas' back-to-back league wins.


                •PREGAME NOTES: Iowa State has had at least four players score in double figures in 15 of its 16 games.... Texas is 9-2 on its own court this season and hasn't lost a home game to the Cyclones since 2005.... The Longhorns have improved their free-throw shooting from 63.1 percent during non-conference games to 74.7 percent in league play.

                #583 OKLAHOMA ST @ #584 KANSAS
                (TV: 4:00 PM EST, CBS - Line: Kansas -5.5, Total: N/A) - The number of NBA scouts in the stands could rival the number of points scored when No. 8 Oklahoma State visits No. 18 Kansas on Saturday in a battle for the top spot in the Big 12. Jayhawks freshman Andrew Wiggins and Cowboys sophomore Marcus Smart are thought to be two of the prizes awaiting lucky general managers at the top of the draft board in the spring and several others on the court will get long looks as well. Kansas has yet to lose in conference play.


                Wiggins collected 17 points and 19 rebounds in a 77-70 win at Iowa State on Monday but hasn’t even been the most impressive freshman on his own team at times, with Wayne Selden Jr. and Joel Embiid putting up impressive numbers too. Oklahoma State relies on more experience around Smart and has won three straight since dropping its Big 12 opener at Kansas State on Jan. 4. Smart went for 20 or more points in each of the last three games and leads the Big 12 in scoring at an average of 17.9 points.


                •ABOUT OKLAHOMA STATE (15-2 SU, 7-6-0 ATS, 3-1 Big 12): The Cowboys dominated TCU 82-50 at home on Wednesday but have struggled a bit on the road with the loss at Kansas State and a narrow 73-72 decision over West Virginia last weekend. Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford understands the magnitude of the challenge at Kansas. “It’s going to be a tough environment, as we know, against maybe the most talented and deep team in all of college basketball,” Ford told reporters. “You’ve got to do some things to keep us in the game. Be very humble of the opportunity you have to play in an environment like this.” Markel Brown scored 28 points and Smart had 25 when the Cowboys stunned then-No. 2 Kansas 85-80 at Allen Fieldhouse last season.


                •ABOUT KANSAS (12-4 SU, 8-8-0 ATS, 3-0 Big 12): Most of the Jayhawks’ core was not around for that home loss to Oklahoma State last season, and the trio of Wiggins, Embiid and Selden Jr. is getting stronger as the season moves along. Wiggins’ 19 boards on Monday were one shy of Kansas’ freshman record and Embiid is 12-for-15 from the field in the last two games while coming up one rebound shy of a double-double in each. The Jayhawks are one of the best shooting teams in the country at 50 percent from the floor and have four players averaging double figures, with sophomore Perry Ellis (13.3 points) joining the freshman trio.


                •PREGAME NOTES: Embiid blocked five shots Monday and has swatted away eight in three Big 12 games.... Oklahoma State G Phil Forte leads the Big 12 in 3-point shooting at 47.9 percent.... The Jayhawks are facing back-to-back top-10 opponents for the first time since the 2012 Final Four.

                #587 PITTSBURGH @ #588 SYRACUSE
                (TV: 4:00 PM EST, ESPN - Line: Syracuse -5, Total: N/A) - While No. 2 Syracuse is undefeated and garnering considerable national attention, No. 21 Pittsburgh is one point away from being in a similar position. The Panthers visit the Orange on Saturday in a matchup of former Big East rivals with a combined record of 33-1. The one loss by Pittsburgh was a 44-43 defeat to Cincinnati - another former Big East program - back on Dec. 17.


                "The teams the ACC picked, the ones they went after, I think their mission was to get the best basketball teams they could," Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said, via Syracuse.com. "And Syracuse and us, I think we were one (in the Big East) in the last 10 years by a pretty good margin and they were two, so I think there was a plan that they would try to get some teams that had won before." Of course, both teams are winning now as well, and doing so in impressive fashion. The Orange have given up more than 67 points just twice this season while all 16 of Pitt's wins have come by at least seven points.


                •ABOUT PITTSBURGH (16-1 SU, 5-9-0 ATS, 4-0 ACC): The Panthers have won six in a row, including an 81-74 victory at Georgia Tech on Tuesday in which Talib Zanna posted 22 points and nine rebounds. Playing without sixth man Durand Johnson (ACL tear), Pittsburgh received 70 of its 81 points from the starters and absolutely dominated the glass. "The rebounding was something we came in and had to do, and had to win that on the road," said Dixon, whose team outrebounded the Yellow Jackets, 38-18.


                •ABOUT SYRACUSE (17-0 SU, 9-4-0 ATS, 4-0 ACC): "We played as bad offensively as we have all year," coach Jim Boeheim said after Monday's 69-59 win at Boston College, even though his team put up respectable numbers from the field (45.3 percent), the 3-point line (4-of-10) and foul line (17-of-21). Sophomore guard Trevor Cooney bailed out the team with 21 points while freshman backcourt mate Tyler Ennis had 12 points, six steals and five assists. Ennis has 13 games with at least five assists and only one game in which he committed more than two turnovers.


                •PREGAME NOTES: Syracuse is one of three undefeated teams in the country, along with No. 1 Arizona and No. 5 Wichita State.... The Orange and Panthers split two games last season, with Syracuse getting the win when the teams met in the Big East tournament.... Pittsburgh averages only three blocks, with Zanna posting a team-high 0.9 blocks per game.

                #589 FLORIDA @ #590 AUBURN
                (TV: 4:00 PM EST, SEC TV, ESPN3 - Line: Florida -8, Total: N/A) - Fresh off setting a school record for consecutive home wins, No. 7 Florida looks to remain unbeaten in the Southeastern Conference when it visits Auburn on Saturday afternoon. The Gators are coming off a 22-point rout of Georgia that extended their overall winning streak to eight games and marked their record 25th straight victory at home. "It's cool to be a part of that and to accomplish something like that," center Patric Young said. "Hopefully, we can top it with an NCAA championship."


                Auburn absorbed its third straight defeat, a 78-67 loss at Tennessee on Wednesday, to join South Carolina as the only winless teams in the conference. The Tigers have played much better at home, winning seven in a row before a two-point setback to then-No. 21 Missouri last Saturday. Leading scorer Casey Prather is expected to return on a limited basis for the Gators, who have won 15 of their last 16 matchups with Auburn - the only loss coming in the SEC tournament in 2009.


                •ABOUT FLORIDA (14-2 SU, 6-5-1 ATS, 3-0 SEC): Prather, who has missed the last two games due to a bone bruise in his right knee, was cleared for contact Friday, but coach Billy Donovan said it's doubtful he'll play significant minutes. That won't be the case for sophomore guard Michael Frazier II, who scored a career-high 21 points in Tuesday's win. The conference leader in 3-point field-goal percentage at 47.3, Frazier started 1-for-8 from long range against Georgia but buried four straight from behind the arc in a game-breaking spurt for his fourth contest with five 3-pointers this season.


                •ABOUT AUBURN (8-6 SU, 5-5-0 ATS, 0-3 SEC): The strength of the Tigers is in the backcourt, which features the conference's leading scorer in senior Chris Denson (19.4) and third-leading scorer in junior KT Harrell (19.0). Denson's 272 points through 14 games are the most by an Auburn player since the 1993-94 season, while Harrell is the first Tiger to score in double figures in the first 14 games since 2002-03. Each guard has recorded at least 20 points on six occasions this season and their combined 38.4-point scoring average ranks eighth nationally among highest-scoring teammates.


                •PREGAME NOTES: Florida has held nine opponents under 60 points.... Auburn has been manhandled on the glass the last two games, getting outrebounded by a combined 86-56 margin.... Florida has won five straight against the Tigers and seven in a row at Auburn.

                #593 UCLA @ #594 UTAH
                (TV: 4:00 PM EST, Fox Sports 1 - Line: UCLA -2, Total: N/A) - Two of the nation’s best all-around players will be on opposite sides Saturday, when Utah hosts No. 25 UCLA in a Pac-12 game. Utes guard Delon Wright, who grew up in the Los Angeles area, is averaging 15.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.7 steals. For the Bruins, Kyle Anderson - who at 6-9 has a four-inch height advantage on Wright - checks in with averages of 14.8, 9.1, 6.5 and 1.9.


                The Utes are coming off an 18-point win over Southern California after two close losses. A key for UCLA will be the performance of leading scorer Jordan Adams, who's shooting 36.1 percent from the floor over the last seven games and has surpassed his current scoring average of 17.8 points just once in that span. Among the top three in the nation with 3.4 steals, Adams is finding other ways to contribute, however, reaching double figures in rebounds against top-ranked Arizona last week and Colorado on Thursday to prompt Buffaloes coach Tad Boyle to say Adams “manhandled” his team.


                •ABOUT UCLA (14-3 SU, 10-6-0 ATS, 3-1 Pac-12): Norman Powell finally put up good numbers against a quality opponent Thursday, and if the Bruins can squeeze 19 points out of him every game, they’ll have a much better chance of staying on Arizona’s heels. Powell is 15-for-25 in the last three games, and Anderson is wise enough to know who has the hot hand when it's time to pass the ball. There hasn’t been any let up off the bench in the backcourt either, as Zach LaVine is third on the team in scoring (12.4) and Bryce Alford fifth (7.9).


                •ABOUT UTAH (13-4 SU, 9-2-1 ATS, 2-3 Pac-12): The Bruins aren’t a strong rebounding team in their frontcourt, so Jordan Loveridge can do some damage if he works hard enough. He won’t have a size advantage at 6-6 but knows how to leverage his body and work the angles to average a team-high 8.2 rebounds. Dallin Bachynski, a 7-foot reserve center, could do significant damage in a half-court setting as UCLA doesn’t have anyone that can match up with him one-on-one.


                •PREGAME NOTES: Anderson came into Thursday’s game as the only player in Division I averaging at least 15 points, nine rebounds and six assists this season. The last player to post those numbers was Evan Turner of Ohio State in 2010.... UCLA F David Wear is looking to score in double figures in back-to-back games in the same season for the first time since the first three games of 2012-13.... The Utes will honor their championship teams from the 1990's during halftime.

                #595 INDIANA ST @ #596 WICHITA ST
                (TV: 4:00 PM EST, ESPN2 - Line: Wichita State -10.5, Total: N/A) - No.5 Wichita State could face its biggest hurdle to an undefeated regular season Saturday when it hosts Indiana State in a battle of the only unbeaten teams in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Shockers enter the showdown tied with No.1 Arizona for the most wins in Division I and could be the fresher team after going deep into its bench in Tuesday's lopsided victory over Bradley. "We got some guys some quality minutes and we were able to rest a lot of the starters," coach Gregg Marshall told reporters. "We're trying to lengthen our bench. We're trying to get more guys that can pull the wagon."


                The Sycamores trailed for under two minutes in Wednesday's victory over Missouri State, the same team that had Wichita State down 18 points before the Shockers rallied to victory. Greg Lansing's team is 5-0 in league play for the first time since the Larry Bird-led Sycamores went 16-0 during the 1978-79 season, which ended with a loss in the national championship game. "We were talking probably for the last 10 minutes of the game, this is prep for Saturday," Lansing said. "We can't give up second shots. We really have to concentrate on blocking out, we have to keep the ball in front of us and we really have to have quality possessions."


                •ABOUT INDIANA STATE (14-3 SU, 8-7-0 ATS, 5-0 MVC): The Sycamores had the luxury of playing a Missouri State team minus leading scorer Marcus Marshall, who is out indefinitely after tearing the meniscus in his right knee in the loss to Wichita State. "When you don't have a player like Marshall out there who requires a lot of attention, you can focus on other guys a little bit more, so we did that," Lansing said. "We switched gears as soon as we knew he wasn't playing, kind of shifted our game plan a little bit. I thought Missouri State competed like crazy and those other guys stepped up pretty well." With Carl Hall and Malcolm Armstead gone from last year's Wichita State team, the Sycamores will have to focus on leading scorers Cleanthony Early, Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet.


                •ABOUT WICHITA STATE (18-0 SU, 11-3-1 ATS, 5-0 MVC): Early had a quiet game in a blowout of Bradley early in the week, but leads the Shockers in scoring and rebounding at 16 points and 6.6 rebounds per game. Baker and the point guard VanVleet go for 12.8 points per game apiece, both shoot better than 39 percent from beyond the arc and along with Early have combined to make 83.9 percent of their free throws. "It's been driving me nuts this week, people talking about the Wichita State game," Lansing said. "We can play really good and get beat, that's how good Wichita State is, but this is why you come to Indiana State. What could be better?"


                •PREGAME NOTES: Each team won on the other's court last season, including a 13-point win by Indiana State.... Indiana State will play its highest-ranked opponent since facing No.6 Tulsa in 1981.... The Sycamores have won seven straight, their longest winning streak since 2005-06.

                (TV: 4:00 PM EST, FSN - Line: Villanova -18, Total: N/A) - The trap has been set for No. 6 Villanova -- or so visiting DePaul can hope. The Blue Demons visit Philadelphia to face the Wildcats on Saturday, two days before Villanova's showdown with No. 19 Creighton. It would be easy enough for the Wildcats to overlook a DePaul team that has hovered around .500 all season, but the Blue Demons have won two straight following a three-game skid to start Big East play and are coming off a 77-75 home victory over St. John's on Tuesday.


                The Wildcats have won four straight since their lone defeat, a 78-62 loss at Syracuse on Dec. 28, but they had to rally from a halftime deficit to win at St. John's last Saturday. "We're a tough-minded team, and that comes from coach getting on us in practice and bringing us together," leading scorer JayVaughn Pinkston told reporters. Villanova has won six straight in the series and eight of 10 meetings in coach Jay Wright's tenure.


                •ABOUT DEPAUL (10-8 SU, 9-8-0 ATS, 2-3 Big East): The Blue Demons' last three wins have come by a combined eights points, including a 99-94 double-overtime victory at Butler. That's a sign of budding maturity for a team that leans heavily on freshmen Billy Garrett Jr. (11.6 points) and Tommy Hamilton IV (9.5 points, 5.3 rebounds). The two have emerged to complement the senior duo of Cleveland Melvin (16.6 points, 6.6 rebounds) and Brandon Young (14.6 points, 4.2 assists).


                •ABOUT VILLANOVA (15-1 SU, 11-3-0 ATS, 4-0 Big East): The Wildcats struggled on offense in their 74-67 win at St. John's, belying their typical efficiency at that end of the floor. Pinkston (16.1 points, 5.4 rebounds) leads a trio of double-digit scorers and has been even more effective in conference play, and Darrun Hilliard (13.9 points) and James Bell (13.8 points, 6.1 rebounds) also can put up big numbers. Villanova gets a boost off the bench from standout freshman Josh Hart (9.9 points, 4.7 rebounds), who has been named Big East Rookie of the Week three times in the past four weeks.


                •PREGAME NOTES: Villanova has held 46 consecutive opponents under 50 percent shooting dating to Nov. 16, 2012, against Alabama.... The Blue Demons haven't won three straight conference games in the same season since February 2007....

                #605 CINCINNATI @ #606 S FLORIDA
                (TV: 5:00 PM EST, ESPNU - Line: Cincinnati -8, Total: N/A) - Now that it is finally getting some national clout in the polls, No. 23 Cincinnati looks to keep moving up the ladder when it visits South Florida on Saturday. After breaking into the Top 25 for the first time this season, the Bearcats aren't ready to sit on their laurels. "We’ve got to continue to make sure everybody is humble and ready to just keep going every game," Cincinnati guard Sean Kilpatrick told the Cincinnati Enquirer, "because the ranked teams are usually the ones that slack when they’ve got that number next to their name.”


                Riding a season-high nine-game winning streak and sitting atop the American Athletic Conference where it is unbeaten, Cincinnati hits the road with its national ranking in tow for the first time after dispatching Temple 69-58 at home on Tuesday. Kilpatrick, who matched his season high with 23 points in the win, leads the ACC in scoring at 18.6 points per game while shooting nearly 42 percent from the floor. South Florida has dropped three of its last four, falling at Southern Methodist 71-54 on Wednesday when the Bulls shot only 32.1 percent from the floor.


                •ABOUT CINCINNATI (16-2 SU, 8-4-0 ATS, 5-0 AAC): The Bearcats are off to their best conference start since 2002-03 when they opened 6-0 in Conference USA play. In addition to Kilpatrick, Forward Justin Jackson is scoring in double digits, averaging 11.7 points and a team-high 7.7 rebounds for Cincinnati, which has the stingiest defense in the AAC, allowing opponents an average of 56.3 points a game. The Bearcats have gone 25 straight games in holding opponents under 70 points, marking the longest current streak in the nation.


                •ABOUT SOUTH FLORIDA (10-7 SU, 5-9-0 ATS, 1-3 AAC): Coming off of its first road loss of the season, the Bulls return home where they are 6-4. South Florida is led by forward Victor Rudd (15.5) and guard Corey Allen Jr. (11.8) with Rudd also topping the Bulls in rebounding at seven per game. Rudd topped 1,000 career points in the loss to SMU, which held the senior to a season-low five points, but he still needs 34 points to reach the milestone at South Florida, where Rudd transferred to after his freshman season at Arizona State.


                •PREGAME NOTES: Kilpatrick has played in 124 consecutive games, the third-longest streak in program history.... South Florida leads the AAC in free throw attempts with 451, but ranks eighth in the conference in foul shooting at 65.6 percent.... The Bearcats have only had nine scholarship players suit up over the past week, four shy of the allotted 13, due to injuries and academic ineligibility.
