Weekend Viewer's Guide

With only 4 weekends left in the regular season, every game counts. This weekend, several top teams go against each other with conference titles and at-large bids in mind. Championship contenders go on the road to face hungry bubble teams in need of a win, while mid-major leagues have the top spot in the standings on the line.

Top Games

Iowa at Indiana (Saturday, 12:00 PM, ESPN)- Hoosiers are in a complete free-fall, while Hawkeyes haven’t proven they can win on the road. Prediction: Iowa 68, Indiana 64

LSU at Florida (Saturday, 1:00 PM, ESPN FullCourt)- Two of the three SEC teams in the running for the title. Both teams could use a quality win to improve their seeding. Prediction: LSU 71, Florida 68

Duke at Maryland (Saturday, 1:00 PM, CBS)- Could be Duke’s best chance to lose an ACC game. Maryland needs a win to stay off the bubble. Prediction: Duke 81, Maryland 73

Southern Illinois at Creighton (Saturday, 2:00 PM, Regional TV)- Both teams still in contention for the Missouri Valley title. SIU could use a win to solidify their NCAA standing. Prediction: Creighton 72, Southern Illinois 65

UCLA at Washington (Saturday, 3:30 PM, ABC)- Only one Pac-10 team is a lock right now (UCLA). Washington has disappointed tremendously in conference play and needs to break out of its slump. Prediction: Washington 76, UCLA 70

West Virginia at Georgetown (Sunday, 7:00 PM, ESPN FullCourt)- Another classic Big East matchup. Both teams run a version of the Princeton offense, meaning this game will be filled with backdoor cuts and three-point shots. Prediction: Georgetown 71, West Virginia 69

North Carolina at Miami (Fl.) (Sunday, 8:00 PM, FSN)- Neither of these teams is a lock for the NCAA Tournament yet, although Tar Heels are getting there. Hurricanes need another quality win and already beat UNC in Chapel Hill. Prediction: Miami (Fl.) 69, North Carolina 63
