Scott Toland, The Wave editor
Iowa State @ Kansas Kansas - Craig Brackins can play well against anyone, but the Jayhawks just have too many weapons for the Cyclones to contain.
Washington @ Stanford Washington - The Huskies blew out the Cardinal the last time they played, and Washington should be able to get another victory on the road.
Cornell @ Princeton Cornell - The Big Red are having a great season and they should be focused enough to avoid a loss to Princeton on the road.
North Carolina State @ North Carolina North Carolina - It doesn't look like the Tar Heels will make the NCAA Tournament, but they have enough talent to get on a roll at any time.
Cincinnati @ Connecticut Connecticut - The Huskies have been struggling without coach Jim Calhoun, but they should be able to defeat the Bearcats at home.
Missouri @ Baylor Baylor - Both teams like to play a fast-paced style, but the Bears should win because they have more offensive weapons than the Tigers.
Duke @ North Carolina Duke - The records get thrown out the window in this rivalry game, but the Blue Devils clearly have the better team this season.
Tennessee @ Kentucky Kentucky - The Volunteers will show up ready to play, but John Wall's ability to score and set up his teammates will make all the difference.
Louisville @ Syracuse Syracuse - No one is playing better than Syracuse, and sharp-shooting guard Andy Rautins will be a difference-maker against the Cardinals.
St. Peter's @ Loyola Loyola - The Greyhounds lost to the St. Peter's Peacocks the last time they played, but they should bounce back for a victory at home.
