Scott Toland, The Wave editor
Kansas @ Oklahoma State Kansas — The Jayhawks know it's tough to play at Oklahoma State, and they'll be focused enough to win a tough game against the Cowboys.
Texas Tech @ Nebraska Nebraska — The Cornhuskers have struggled in conference play, but home-court advantage will make the difference against the Red Raiders.
Villanova @ Syracuse Syracuse — Villanova has plenty of good shooters, but the Orange's zone defense should cause enough problems for them to get the win.
Texas @ Texas A&M Texas — The Longhorns have gone through a rough stretch this season, but they will recover in time to be ready for the NCAA Tournament.
Cincinnati @ West Virginia West Virginia — Cinicinnati could give West Virginia a good game, but the Mountaineers are too athletic for the Bearcats.
Baylor @ Oklahoma Baylor — Oklahoma is improving, but Baylor's experience should make the difference in this game.
Kentucky @ Tennessee Kentucky — The Wildcats are due for an upset, but freshman phenom John Wall will make the big plays down the stretch for Kentucky.
North Carolina @ Wake Forest Wake Forest — The Tar Heels are really struggling this season and their struggles will continue on the road against a good Wake Forest team.
Pittsburgh @ Notre Dame Pittsburgh — Notre Dame really needs to win this game, but the Panthers' rebounding and inside play will be too much for the Fighting Irish.
Campbell @ North Florida Campbell — The North Florida Ospreys will be fired up in front of a raucous home crowd, but the Campbell Fighting Camels will pull out the win.
