Preview Roundups
February 23, 2020
Temple at East Carolina 12:00 PM ET
After losing seven of eight, Temple got its season back on track with a win over East Carolina earlier this month. That victory ignited a 4-2 stretch for the Owls, who visit the Pirates on Sunday in an American Athletic Conference rematch.
Penn St. at Indiana 12:00 PM ET
As the regular season approaches its final two weeks, No. 9 Penn State and Indiana enter Sunday's Big Ten matchup in Bloomington jockeying for position in the conference standings and, in the Hoosiers' case, trying to solidify their NCAA Tournament credentials. The Nittany Lions fell two games behind first-place Maryland after a loss to Illinois this week and are one game ahead of four teams in the loss column.
Rutgers at Wisconsin 1:00 PM ET
Wisconsin looks to take another step towards securing an NCAA Tournament bid when it hosts Rutgers on Sunday. The Badgers have won three consecutive games, including a 69-65 victory over Purdue on Tuesday, to move within a game of reaching double-digit wins in Big Ten play the 13th time in the last 14 seasons, and they hope to avenge a 72-65 loss to the Scarlet Knights on Dec. 11.
Wichita St. at Cincinnati 1:00 PM ET
If the first matchup is any indication, Sunday's rematch between Cincinnati and visiting Wichita State should be another classic. The Bearcats won the first contest between the teams this season and sit in a tie for second place in the American Athletic Conference, 1 1/2 games ahead of fourth-place Wichita State.
South Florida at Connecticut 2:00 PM ET
When Connecticut hosts South Florida on Sunday in the last meeting as conference opponents between the two former Big East schools, the Huskies will look to get even after being manhandled by the Bulls in a 15-point defeat in early January. Connecticut has been a significantly better team on its home court this season and has never lost to South Florida at home.
St. John's at Seton Hall 2:00 PM ET
No. 14 Seton Hall is off to its best start in Big East play in program history, but the Pirates find themselves just one game ahead of Creighton and Villanova after a rough stretch. With games against three ranked teams awaiting to close the regular season, the Pirates can’t afford to slip up when St. John’s visits Sunday.
Minnesota at Northwestern 3:00 PM ET
Minnesota looks to end a three-game losing streak when it visits Northwestern in Big Ten play on Sunday. The Golden Gophers have dropped five of their last six games, including a disappointing 68-56 home loss to Indiana on Wednesday, to leave their NCAA Tournament aspirations hanging by a thread, and they hope to get back on track by notching their first road win in over a month.
Maryland at Ohio St. 4:00 PM ET
Seventh-ranked Maryland, one of the hottest teams in the country, goes to Columbus in pursuit of its 10th consecutive victory Sunday against No. 24 Ohio State. The winning streak has propelled the Terrapins into a two-game lead in the Big Ten with five games to play in the regular season.
Butler at Creighton 4:00 PM ET
Creighton is surprisingly only one game out of first place in the Big East, and its ability to beat the best the conference has to offer is a big reason why. The 15th-ranked Bluejays attempt to earn four wins against ranked opponents in the same month for the first time in school history Sunday when they host No. 23 Butler.
Southern California at Utah 6:00 PM ET

After opening a two-game road swing with a loss, USC has fallen off the pace in the race for a top-four finish in the Pac-12. The Trojans will try to regain some ground Sunday when they visit Utah.

Miami-Florida at Notre Dame 6:00 PM ET
Two teams coming off inspiring victories hope to continue their surge of emotion when visiting Miami (Fla.) takes on Notre Dame in an ACC showdown Sunday. The Hurricanes have won three straight after beating Virginia Tech 102-95 in triple-overtime on Wednesday while Notre Dame earned its fifth victory in seven games Monday when it rallied from 15 points down in the second half to top North Carolina 77-76.
Stanford at Washington St. 8:00 PM ET
Washington State hopes to have starting point guard Isaac Bonton back in the lineup Sunday when the Cougars host Stanford, which has won the last seven meetings between the teams. The Cougars have averaged just 54 points in two games without Bonton, who is battling a hip injury but could return to face the Cardinal.
