Scott Toland, The Wave editor
Colorado @ Kansas Kansas — The Jayhawks have too much talent inside for the Buffaloes to handle in front of a packed Allen Fieldhouse.
Texas @ Missouri Texas — The Tigers would really like to defeat Texas, but the Longhorns' big men should make the difference.
Oklahoma @ Colorado Oklahoma — The Sooners have some young players who are starting to play well and they should be able to defeat Colorado on the road.
Oklahoma State @ Iowa State Iowa State — Craig Brackins and Iowa State's home court advantage should make the difference against the Cowboys.
Syracuse @ Georgetown Syracuse — Both teams are playing well, but Syracuse's zone defense will really slow down the Hoyas' attack.
Purdue @ Ohio State Ohio State — This should be a great game, but Evan Turner should lead the Buckeyes to a big win in front of their home crowd.
Kentucky @ Vanderbilt Kentucky — The Commodores will make this a good game, but freshman point guard John Wall will take over in the second half.
Virginia @ Clemson Clemson — The Tigers and Cavaliers are in the middle of the ACC, but Clemson should separate themselves with a win at home.
Siena @ Butler Butler — Both teams are shooting for a bid in the NCAA Tournament, but the Bulldogs' big-game experience will be the difference.
Marist @ UC-Irvine UC-Irvine — The Anteaters will dismiss the Red Foxes' bid for an upset on the road.
