Scott Toland, The Wave editor
Kansas @ Colorado Kansas - Cole Aldrich will make the difference inside against the Buffaloes and the Jayhawks will pick up a conference road victory.
Texas @ Oklahoma State Texas - The Longhorns' big men should be too much for the Cowboys to handle and Texas will pull out a hard-earned victory in a tough arena.
Texas A&M @ Missouri Missouri - The Aggies are a good team, but Missouri's pressure should force Texas A&M to commit too many turnovers to win the game.
Pittsburgh @ West Virginia West Virginia - The Mountaineers and the Panthers are both good teams, but West Virginia's home-court advantage will make all the difference.
Connecticut @ Louisville Connecticut - The Huskies' big men should dominate inside and Connecticut will pick up a nice victory on the road.
Kansas State @ Nebraska Kansas State - The Wildcats' guard play should be enough to defeat the Cornhuskers on the road and keep pace in the Big 12 race.
Cincinnati @ Notre Dame Notre Dame - Cincinnati has been playing well, but Luke Harangody should propel Notre Dame to a victory.
Standford @ UCLA UCLA - The Bruins have been struggling this season, but they have plenty of talent and should take care of business at home against Stanford.
Michigan State @ Wisconsin Michigan State - The Badgers have been a surprise so far, but the Spartans' superior talent and experience should help them get a victory.
Elon @ Wofford Wofford - The Terriers will be too much for the Phoenix to handle in another big Southern Conference matchup.
