Alabama at Kentucky 7:00 PM ET
Kentucky has less than 72 hours to recover from a heart-breaking defeat before the 14th-ranked Wildcats host Alabama on Tuesday. John Calipari's team did not bring its best effort in Saturday's 79-77 loss at Texas A&M, but the veteran coach understands that even his roster of former McDonald's All-Americans cannot produce its A-game every night.
Louisiana State at Arkansas 7:00 PM ET
LSU freshman forward Ben Simmons will be back in the starting lineup
after academic issues cost him a start as the Tigers face a crucial
contest against host Arkansas in SEC play on Tuesday. Simmons, the
near-certain No. 1 overall pick in June's NBA draft, still played heavy minutes during Saturday's 81-65 loss to Tennessee - a hurtful defeat
when it comes to LSU's NCAA Tournament resume.
Vanderbilt at Florida 7:00 PM ET
Florida and Vanderbilt, two teams in need of strong finishes to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament, face off Tuesday in Gainesville. The SEC rivals meet for the second time this season with the Commodores holding off a late Florida rally for a 60-59 victory in Nashville on Jan. 26.
Temple at Tulsa 7:00 PM ET
It's basically now or never for Tulsa if the Golden Hurricane have any chance of winning the American Athletic Conference regular-season title. Tulsa sits 1 1/2 games behind first-place Temple but can pick up significant ground Tuesday with a home win over the Owls.
Clemson at Georgia Tech 7:00 PM ET
Marcus Georges-Hunt has scored 1,575 points over his brilliant four-year career at Georgia Tech, but none may have been bigger than the two he scored with two seconds left to beat No. 18 Notre Dame on Saturday. The 6-5 senior leads the Yellow Jackets’ quest for a fourth win in five games when Clemson and star Jaron Blossomgame visit Tuesday.
Kansas at Baylor 8:00 PM ET
Kansas owns a two-game lead in the Big 12 with four games left in the regular season and is riding a seven-game winning streak. The Jayhawks will not only try to secure supremacy in the Big 12 but will continue to pursue a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament when they visit Baylor on Tuesday.
Dayton at Saint Louis 8:00 PM ET
No. 22 Dayton will have to rebound from back-to-back losses for the first time in more than two years when it visits Saint Louis on Tuesday night for an Atlantic-10 matchup. The Flyers, who had not suffered a losing streak since January 2014, dropped consecutive contests to Saint Joseph’s and St. Bonaventure after winning nine in a row.
Rutgers at Minnesota 8:30 PM ET
Tuesday's contest between Rutgers and host Minnesota was expected to be a clash of teams seeking their first Big Ten Conference victory, but the Golden Gophers spoiled the situation with a stunning victory over No. 9 Maryland on Saturday. The Scarlet Knights, meanwhile, haven't come closer than seven points in a Big Ten game and have lost 12 of their 14 conference contests by at least 10.
Texas Christian at Texas Tech 9:00 PM ET
Texas Tech wants to prove its red-hot February isn't some fluke when its hosts last-place TCU on Tuesday. The Red Raiders' big month - including a four-game winning streak - has been built on solid defense.
Missouri at Mississippi 9:00 PM ET
Ole Miss likely needs a Southeastern Conference tournament title to earn a ticket to the NCAA Tournament, and it needs to improve its position in the SEC standings to make that a feasible goal. The Rebels are tied for seventh place – but just two games out of second – and have a great chance to earn a conference victory Tuesday, when last-place Missouri comes to town.
Virginia Tech at Boston College 9:00 PM ET
Virginia Tech seeks consecutive wins for the first time in over a month when it visits last-place Boston College in an ACC matchup Tuesday night. The Hokies are coming off an 83-73 win over Florida State on Saturday that has Buzz Williams' squad - which has finished last in the conference four seasons in a row - at least dreaming of a better March this time around.
Michigan St at Ohio St. 9:00 PM ET
Michigan State can take over fourth place in the Big Ten by knocking off host Ohio State on Tuesday. The Spartans have won six of seven since a three-game slide knocked them out of contention for the top spot in the conference, and they have four regular-season games left to prove they deserve a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
