Kentucky at Tennessee 7:00 PM ET
The season is 21 games old and coach John Calipari is frustrated with his No. 19 Kentucky Wildcats as they enter Tuesday's SEC tilt at Tennessee. "We're still learning how to win," Calipari told reporters after Saturday's 90-84 overtime loss at Kansas. "In the guts of the game, we're just learning now what it means to win, and the plays you make - and the plays just as importantly you don't make. Not at winning time."
Louisiana State at Auburn 7:00 PM ET
LSU put up a strong battle against second-ranked Oklahoma and looks to use the experience to build momentum as it visits Auburn for Tuesday's SEC tilt. LSU lost 77-75 to the Sooners on a basket by Isaiah Cousins with 3.8 seconds left in Saturday's showdown but the Tigers felt encouraged by the close defeat.
South Carolina at Georgia 7:00 PM ET

No. 23 South Carolina looks to nail down its first 20-win campaign since 2008-09 when it travels to Georgia for a Southeastern Conference contest on Tuesday. It’s a matchup of two of the nation’s top defensive teams as both ranked in the top 15 nationally through Sunday in field-goal defense, with South Carolina holding opponents to 38.4 percent from the field and the opposition shooting 38.5 percent against Georgia. 

Georgetown at Butler 7:00 PM ET
Georgetown senior guard D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera has played well in previous visits to his hometown of Indianapolis and he'll get one more shot Tuesday, when the Hoyas travel to Butler for a Big East contest. Smith-Rivera scored 18 points in an overtime win at Butler two years ago and sealed last season's six-point road victory with four free throws in the final 10 seconds, giving him 16 for the game.
Texas Christian at Oklahoma 8:00 PM ET
Buddy Hield is likely the new favorite for National Player of the Year, and his candidacy will be on center stage Tuesday when No. 2 Oklahoma hosts TCU in Big 12 play. Hield went head-to-head with LSU star Ben Simmons - although they weren't matched up against each other - and dominated in the second half to lift the Sooners to the road victory Saturday.
Virginia Tech at Syracuse 8:00 PM ET
A resilient Syracuse team aims for its sixth win in seven games Tuesday when it hosts Virginia Tech in ACC action. The Orange had lost four straight games before their solid stretch that has included victories over Duke and Notre Dame and, more recently, a nail-biter against Georgia Tech.
Clemson at Wake Forest 8:00 PM ET
Clemson looks to bounce back from a tough road loss and stay in the ACC race when it travels to face struggling Wake Forest on Tuesday night. The Tigers fell to Florida State to drop into a four-way tie for third place in the league standings, while the Demon Deacons are above only winless Boston College in conference play.
Alabama at Mississippi St. 9:00 PM ET
Alabama and Mississippi State are both languishing near the bottom of the SEC standings with 2-6 conference records. The deadlock will be broken regardless of who prevails when Alabama visits Mississippi State on Tuesday.
Alabama at Mississippi St. 9:00 PM ET
Alabama and Mississippi State are both languishing near the bottom of the SEC standings with 2-6 conference records. The deadlock will be broken regardless of who prevails when Alabama visits Mississippi State on Tuesday.
West Virginia at Iowa St. 9:00 PM ET
No. 14 Iowa State returns home to play its fourth top-15 ranked team over a five-game span when it faces No. 12 West Virginia on Tuesday night. The Cyclones, who enter the game one game behind the Mountaineers, No. 2 Oklahoma and No. 13 Baylor in the ultra-competitive Big 12 Conference, limp into the contest following a 72-62-loss at No. 8 Texas A&M on Saturday in the Big 12/SEC Challenge during which All-American forward Georges Niang played sparingly down the stretch after taking a knee to his
Indiana at Michigan 9:00 PM ET
No. 21 Indiana looks to pull ahead in the race for the Big Ten title when it hits the road to face Michigan on Tuesday. The Hoosiers have won 13 of their last 14 games and are coming off a 74-68 victory over Minnesota to move into a first-place tie with seventh-ranked Iowa at the top of the conference standings.
Duke at Georgia Tech 9:00 PM ET
It has been a long week in the midst of an atypical season for Duke, the defending national champion and perennial powerhouse who comes into Tuesday’s visit to Georgia Tech having lost four of its past five. The Blue Devils have been idle since an 80-69 defeat Jan. 25 at Miami, and start the week unranked for the first time since the end of the 2006-07 season - and even head coach Mike Krzyzewski understands why Miami fans serenaded his team with chants of “overrated.”
Providence at DePaul 9:00 PM ET
Providence looks to maintain an impressive perfect road mark when it visits DePaul in a Big East showdown Tuesday night. The Friars squeaked past Georgetown on Saturday by a 73-69 margin to improve to 6-0 in true road games this season, including 4-0 in conference play.
