Big East, SEC and Texas Highlight Big Week for College Basketball

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

It's coming to a point where everyone is pretty much running out of hypotheticals in which Ohio State falls. Still, it could happen this week. Big ones for conference supremacy in the Big East and SEC this week, as well as a huge test for Texas. All times ET.

10. Cincinnati (18-4, 5-4) at No. 4 Pittsburgh (20-2, 8-1), Saturday, 6 p.m.

After breezing through an embarrassingly simple non-conference schedule, Cincinnati has been, well, OK in the Big East. Not horrible, at least. They beat St. John's, though it's hard to say exactly what that means. Pitt, of course, fell last week at home to Notre Dame before narrowly beating Rutgers on the road. The Panthers are still tops in the Big East, but, surprisingly, Louisville is coming on strong.

9. No. 2 Kansas (20-1, 5-1) at Nebraska (15-5, 3-3), Saturday, 4 p.m.

Is it completely insane to think Nebraska has a shot against Kansas this weekend? On the surface, yes. Remember, though, the 'Huskers gave the Jayhawks all they could handle in Lawrence, and they will be playing with a lot of confidence after a win at home over Texas A&M.

8. UNLV (16-5, 4-3) at No. 8 BYU (20-2, 6-1), Saturday, 4 p.m.

After Jimmer's outburst in dethroning San Diego State, he and his mates had a less thrilling encore, losing to New Mexico. Though BYU handled the Rebels with relative ease the first time they met, the Cougars have proven that they are upset prone -- even with Jimmer going for 30+.
