Preview Roundups
February 02, 2020
Miami-Florida at Pittsburgh 12:00 PM ET
Miami (Fla.) seeks a sweep of the season series and aims to put back-to-back wins together for the first time in ACC play this season when the Hurricanes visit Pittsburgh on Sunday afternoon. Miami snapped a four-game losing streak by closing the first half with a 27-8 run and going on to beat visiting Virginia Tech 71-61 on Tuesday after dropping its previous two games by a combined 53 points.
Georgetown at St. John's 1:00 PM ET
Georgetown and St. John's, two former giants of the Big East, will meet for the 115th time Sunday at Madison Square Garden, only this time it will be to stay out of the conference basement. Promising non-conference results for the Hoyas and the Red Storm have given way to struggles in the Big East, which has become the new normal for the once proud programs.
Illinois at Iowa 1:00 PM ET
No. 19 Illinois looks to extend the longest active winning streak in the Big Ten when it visits 18th-ranked Iowa in a pivotal conference matchup on Sunday. The Fighting Illini have won seven straight games, including a 59-51 victory over Minnesota on Thursday, to take over first place in the Big Ten standings, and they hope to notch their fourth consecutive road win by knocking off the Hawkeyes for the first time since Feb. 18, 2017.
Utah at UCLA 3:00 PM ET
Coach Mick Cronin’s first UCLA team appears to be
gelling at an opportune time, winning three of its last four games to climb in
the Pac-12 standings. The Bruins will try to continue that surge
Sunday afternoon when they host Utah.
