Preview: Nittany Lions (15-13) at Spartans (23-5)

Date: February 28, 2016 12:00 PM EDT

Though a Big Ten regular-season title remains somewhat of a longshot, Michigan State appears zeroed in on a much greater goal.

Arguably the nation's most complete team over the past month, the sixth-ranked Spartans look to keep rolling in Sunday's home game with improving Penn State.

Having struggled on both ends during a three-game conference losing streak in mid-January, Michigan State (23-5, 10-5) has excelled in all facets in winning seven of eight since, with a one-point overtime defeat at then-No. 18 Purdue the blemish. Already one of Division I's best rebounding teams, the Spartans have emerged as one of the premier outside shooting ones during their dominant stretch.

Led by the ultra-efficient duo of Denzel Valentine and Bryn Forbes, Michigan State has averaged 12.9 3-pointers and shot 52.9 percent from beyond the arc over its last seven games. The Spartans were 14 of 22 in Tuesday's 81-62 win at Ohio State, eclipsing 80 points for the fifth time in six contests.

'We're all very confident, all the work we've put in at this point is paying off,' Forbes said.

Forbes has connected at a 56.7 percent rate from 3 over the last eight and went 6 of 8 in recording 20 of his 27 points in the second half against the Buckeyes, helping the Spartans pull away after leading by just two late in the first.

Forbes finished 6 of 8 on 3s during a 20-point effort in a 92-65 rout at Penn State (15-13, 6-9) on Jan. 10, just prior to the midseason lull that's compromised the Spartans' chances of winning the Big Ten. They're still squarely in contention for a top four finish that would yield an advantageous double-bye for the conference tournament.

The Nittany Lions have come a long way since that matchup, notching a pair of Top 25 victories over Indiana and Iowa earlier this month. They followed a 79-75 result over the then-No. 4 Hawkeyes with consecutive wins over Rutgers and Nebraska.

Defense has keyed the surge, as they held both Rutgers and Nebraska under 60 points after limiting Iowa to its second-lowest field goal percentage in Big Ten play at 41.2 percent.

Though the conference's lowest scoring and worst-shooting team, Penn State has made strides in those areas as well. It hit a season-high 11 3s in Thursday's 56-55 win over Nebraska and is shooting 40.0 percent from beyond the arc during the streak.

"Guys are shooting with great confidence," coach Patrick Chambers said. "We're working every day on shooting and those guys are getting in extra, shooting on their own, and that's why you earn the right to make shots. That's why shots are falling for us at home. So it's really great to see."

Shep Garner is 14 of 26 from 3-point range while averaging 20.0 points during the run, highlighted by Thursday's 22-point effort. Brandon Taylor added 19 points and 10 rebounds and is averaging 18.7 points and 9.1 rebounds over a seven-game span.

The Nittany Lions have shot just 25.7 percent from 3 and 37.9 percent overall in Big Ten road games, though, and Michigan State leads the conference in scoring defense (63.5 points per game) and field goal percentage defense (37.2).

Penn State is 1-18 all-time in East Lansing and has lost five straight there. The Spartans have won six straight in the series since a 61-48 loss in the 2011 Big Ten Tournament semifinals.

Preview: Musketeers (25-3) at Pirates (20-7)

Date: February 28, 2016 12:30 PM EDT

A statement-making win over the top team in the nation has Xavier aiming for not only its first Big East regular-season title, but also a top seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Those opportunities, however, could quickly evaporate if the fifth-ranked Musketeers can't take care of business against a Seton Hall team that still has something to prove.

After James Farr's career-best effort keyed a win in the first meeting, Xavier will chase its fifth consecutive victory overall and first in three visits to Prudential Center on Sunday.

The Musketeers (25-3, 13-3) moved within a half game of No. 1 Villanova in the Big East with a 90-83 home win Wednesday before the Wildcats extended their lead with Saturday's victory. Xavier also made a case to earn one of the NCAA Tournament's top seeds for the first time.

The squad hasn't won a regular-season title since taking the Atlantic-10 crown in 2010-11 and has never earned higher than a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

'We know we're capable of competing against anyone in the country,' said Myles Davis, who had 16 points and six assists off the bench. 'Each game we're going to see something new, something different. March is coming up, so we've still got time to get better.'

Edmond Sumner missed three games after a hard fall in the opening minutes of a 31-point loss at Villanova on Dec. 31. The freshman looks fully recovered, averaging 15.7 points in his last six after finishing with 19 to go along with a career-high nine assists and six rebounds against the Wildcats.

J.P. Macura also came up big with 19 points as Xavier recorded a season-high 24 assists.

Xavier, which owns the highest ranking in school history, is second in the Big East with 80.4 points per game and a 35.6 3-point percentage. It could find the going much tougher against a Seton Hall team that leads the conference with a 30.7 defensive 3-point percentage and ranks second with a 39.3 defensive field-goal percentage.

The Pirates are also second with 66 points allowed per game after holding Providence to 28.4 percent shooting in Thursday's 70-52 home win. Isaiah Whitehead had 25 points, nine assists, six rebounds and four blocks, while Angel Delgado added 14 points and 10 boards.

Whitehead is third in the Big East with 16.9 points and 5.0 assists per game.

"He makes everyone better, but he makes it very simple for them," coach Kevin Willard told the school's official website. "He's starting to understand what he means to this team and what the point guard position means both offensively and defensively."

Seton Hall (20-7, 10-5) would still like to pad its improving tournament resume after winning seven of eight since a 84-76 loss at Xavier on Jan. 23 to move into sole possession of third place.

Desi Rodriguez had 21 points in the first meeting, Khadeen Carrington scored 19 and Whitehead added 17 but shot just 6 for 20. Whitehead finished with 19 points and Rodriguez added 16 in a 90-82 win in the most recent matchup at Seton Hall on Jan. 31, 2015.

The Pirates will certainly have to keep a closer watch on Farr after he finished with career highs of 24 points and 15 rebounds off the bench. Trevon Bluiett, who contributed 15 points, has averaged 15.7 on 60 percent shooting in three career meetings.

Seton Hall has dropped five of its last six games versus ranked opponents.

Preview: Blue Devils (21-7) at Panthers (19-8)

Date: February 28, 2016 2:00 PM EDT

James Robinson is already discussing Pittsburgh's NCAA Tournament selection as more of a when than an if, but those with a say in the matter might want to see the Panthers first beat a Top 25 team.

Their seventh chance to do so comes Sunday against Duke in Pitt's final home game, and the 15th-ranked Blue Devils can't afford to give away ground in the race for the regular-season ACC title.

Pitt (19-8, 8-7) is 0-6 against the Top 25, and this is its last shot at such an opponent in the regular season with its final two games coming at Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech. The losses have been by an average of 12.5 points with the Panthers limited to 37.7 percent shooting and 24.2 from 3-point range, though their senior leader remains confident.

"This year I think we have a special group of guys," said Robinson, who will make his school-record 130th start. "Once we do get into the NCAA Tournament we can really make some noise. As a senior you definitely want to play forever."

But after Wednesday's 67-60 home loss to No. 11 Louisville, coach Jamie Dixon doesn't sound quite as sure about the Panthers' tourney status having lost four of six with opponents shooting 40.2 percent from 3-point range.

"Close isn't good enough," said Dixon, whose team was 4 of 18 from deep. "There's no consolation in that. You need to win a big one at home."

Top scorer Michael Young, who averages 16.1 points per game on 53.4 percent shooting, has been limited to 12.7 on 42.9 in the last six games.

Robinson, however, finished with 12 points against the Cardinals and has averaged 15.5 in his last four contests after a four-game stretch in which he was limited to 6.0 points per game on 26.7 percent shooting. The tested veteran's coach has plenty of confidence in him entering a meeting with the defending national champion.

"He's played against the best," Dixon said. "He's played in the toughest leagues around the last couple years, the last four years, so he's played against the best players."

This is the only meeting this season, but Duke (21-7, 10-5) has won both since Pitt entered the ACC by an average of 14.5 points. Last season's 79-65 final at Duke saw Robinson go 1 of 8 from the field for two points.

The Blue Devils sit one game back in the loss column of North Carolina and Miami with home games against Wake Forest and the seventh-ranked Tar Heels remaining.

They're coming off Thursday's 80-65 home win over Florida State, in which Grayson Allen scored 18 points but was 7-of-20 shooting. The sophomore guard, who was inconsequentially reprimanded by the league for a second tripping incident in two weeks against Florida State, has been more impressive on the road lately with 24.8 points on 50.6 percent and 45.5 from 3-point range over a 3-2 road span.

Marshall Plumlee had 13 points and 10 rebounds against the Seminoles as Duke faced an unranked team for the first time since Feb. 6. They played four straight against the Top 25, winning the first three by a combined seven points.

"The emotion that we've had to have for these last five games - really, they're tired," said coach Mike Krzyzewski, whose team remains without Amile Jefferson but has won six of seven since dropping four of five. "And you could tell, and it's not because of being physically out of shape. They're giving me everything."

Preview: Green Wave (10-18) at Mustangs (23-4)

Date: February 28, 2016 3:00 PM EDT

With his collegiate career winding down, Nic Moore hasn't allowed a nagging shoulder injury to keep him from helping SMU vie for a second consecutive American Athletic Conference regular-season title.

Moore should be healthy enough to continue his strong play at home when the No. 24 Mustangs try for a third straight win Sunday against Tulane.

With three games left for Moore and SMU (23-4, 11-4) this season, the senior guard has done all he can of late to lead his team no matter how physically grueling that may be. Second in the AAC averaging 16.6 points, Moore shrugged off that lingering injury and a tough first half to score all 12 of his points in the final 20 minutes of Thursday's 69-62 win at Memphis.

He went 4 of 9 from the field and hit a floater with less than a minute to play that gave the Mustangs a three-point lead. Moore also recorded six assists and a season-high six steals as SMU won its second straight following a 3-4 stretch.

'I thought Nic was really hurt and (Memphis) did a great job trying to keep him from getting it, but he kind of gutted it out,' SMU coach Larry Brown said. 'Pretty awesome performance.'

Attempting to win back-to-back league regular-season titles for the first time since a three-season Southwest Conference run from 1964-65 to 1966-67, SMU is one-half game behind first-place Temple, which won the lone meeting between the schools. Another league championship is all the Mustangs have to play as they're barred from the postseason because of NCAA sanctions.

Before Sunday's finale at Cincinnati, Moore plays twice more at home, where he's averaged 23.2 points and gone 24 of 48 from 3-point range in the last six. He's also recorded 18 assists over the last two in Dallas.

"You look at all the dynamics that have gone into this year, what he's done, he's been as good as any player in the country," Brown said earlier this month.

Moore didn't have one of his better outings while scoring 12 points on 2-of-9 shooting in a 60-45 win at Tulane (10-18, 3-12) on Jan 17. Neither did the Mustangs as a team, shooting a season-low 40.4 percent and going 1 of 10 from 3-point range while committing 15 turnovers. However, SMU held the Green Wave to 29.2 percent from the floor, outscored them 32-16 in the paint and forced 20 turnovers it turned into 21 points.

'We did a lot of good things, played extremely hard and were really connected on the defensive end,' Tulane coach Ed Conroy said. "We put them in position where they would have to dig down a little bit.'

Tulane has dropped six straight at SMU, last playing there in January 2013.

Following consecutive wins at East Carolina and Memphis that involved four combined overtime periods, the Green Wave have lost back-to-back home contests while allowing Houston and those same Pirates to shoot 56 percent.

Senior guard Louis Dabney has averaged 20.8 points and gone 16 of 35 from beyond the arc in the last six games but was held to nine on 2-of-9 shooting against the Mustangs in January.

Tulane has lost 32 in a row against ranked opponents since beating then-No. 25 North Carolina State in December 1999.

Preview: Hawkeyes (20-7) at Buckeyes (18-11)

Date: February 28, 2016 4:00 PM EDT

In spite of its recent woes, Iowa could soon force a tie atop the Big Ten without needing any help.

The eighth-ranked Hawkeyes first need to top short-handed Ohio State on Sunday.

Iowa (20-7, 11-4) has fallen 1 1/2 games behind first-place Indiana after losing three of four but can trim that deficit this weekend with the Hoosiers idle. The Hawkeyes then host Indiana on Tuesday.

To have a share of the Big Ten lead on the line in that game, though, Iowa first must avoid a season-high third consecutive defeat.

The Hawkeyes will require a much improved performance from their 67-59 home loss to Wisconsin on Wednesday. They were held to their lowest point total and shooting percentage (32.7) of the season.

Jarrod Uthoff, one of the Big Ten's leading scorers (18.6 ppg), was limited to 11 points on 3-of-12 shooting. Iowa committed 14 turnovers, its most since a season-high 17 in a loss at then-No. 4 Iowa State on Dec. 10.

"We didn't execute like we needed to. So we just have to do a better job of that, and they've got to understand that what I'm asking them to do is something they haven't already done," coach Fran McCaffery said. "They've already proven they can play (well), just got to get back to playing that way."

Iowa has won two straight and three of four against Ohio State, including victories in both visits to Columbus against ranked Buckeyes teams. The teams haven't met since Jan. 17, 2015, when Iowa won 76-67 at home despite Uthoff and Peter Jok totaling 14 points on 4-of-15 shooting.

Jok is averaging 25.3 points in his last three games, but starting backcourt mate Mike Gesell has shot 5 for 25 in that span.

Ohio State (18-11, 10-6) has won 11 of 13 at home, but the losses were to Top 10 opponents Maryland and Michigan State. The Buckeyes have lost four straight home games against ranked teams dating back to last March, and had a four-game overall win streak snapped Tuesday with an 81-62 loss to the No. 6 Spartans.

It was Ohio State's first game since losing Jae'Sean Tate for the season due to shoulder surgery. The sophomore forward was averaging 11.7 points and 6.4 boards.

"I think he's the heart and soul of this team. We challenge our guys when we have a man down, we need to man up," coach Thad Matta said. "It's one of those things you hate for Jae'Sean. But, with that said, you need to find a way to regroup again."

Freshman Mickey Mitchell got his first start to replace Tate but went scoreless in 21 minutes.

Buckeyes leading scorer Marc Loving (12.9 ppg) had 19 points, his most in 14 games. Freshman guard JaQuan Lyle, averaging 10.5 points, has a combined 35 in his past two contests.

Preview: Huskies (16-12) at Ducks (22-6)

Date: February 28, 2016 8:30 PM EDT

Oregon has maintained its slipping grasp on first place in the Pac-12 thanks to its continued dominance at home.

Washington, meanwhile, is having a once-promising season spiral out of control.

With their conference title hopes all but dashed, the Huskies try to save their fading NCAA Tournament chances in Sunday night's challenging road test against the 13th-ranked Ducks.

Oregon (22-6, 11-4) owned a seemingly comfortable three-game lead on No. 22 Utah in the Pac-12 race following a 76-66 win over the Utes on Feb. 7, but ensuing road losses to California and Stanford provided an opening that the charging Utes have seized with six straight wins to move to 12-5 in league play.

The Ducks have since regrouped with back-to-back victories over Oregon State and Washington State at Matthew Knight Arena, where they've won a school-record 24 straight after topping the last-place Cougars 76-62 on Wednesday.

With California and Arizona also within striking distance, Oregon - which swept the season series with Utah - still has some work to do to earn its first regular-season conference championship since 2001-02. After facing the slumping Huskies, the Ducks play their final two on the road against UCLA and USC.

"We still have Utah right there, Arizona right there, Cal right there. It's going to be a tight race," coach Dana Altman said. "We have a really tough game on Sunday."

Washington (16-12, 8-8) had been in the thick of the race with a 7-3 start but has since unraveled by losing five of six. The last three defeats have come by three points or fewer, including Thursday's heartbreaker at Oregon State in which Steven Thompson's contested 3-pointer at the buzzer lifted the Beavers to an 82-81 win.

Though Thompson appeared to travel on the deciding shot, drawing Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar a reprimand from the Pac-12 for questioning the non-call, the Huskies still had their chances in a must-win game where they shot a season-high 56.6 percent and held a 79-73 lead with 1:48 remaining.

'We did a lot of things that would allow you to win a ball game, but we don't have anything to show for it,' Romar said.

Andrew Andrews had 30 points, though the Pac-12's leading scorer missed a critical free throw with 3.3 seconds left and had a turnover in the final minute.

The Huskies figure to face additional adversity in a trip to Eugene, where they've lost five straight and the Ducks have won 15 consecutive Pac-12 games. Washington, currently on a four-game road skid, lost 78-74 at Oregon last season and haven't won there since March 4, 2010.

Ducks guard Dillon Brooks is averaging 20.2 points in the last nine games, and now he faces a Washington team which allows a conference-worst 84.1 per game.

This up-tempo matchup features teams that each excel at causing turnovers, with the Huskies among the Division I leaders with 16.7 takeaways per game and Oregon second in the conference at 14.4.

Oregon has been considerably better at taking care of the ball, averaging a league-low 10.3 turnovers in conference play and 8.7 over its last six. Washington's 14.4 giveaways per game are the most in the Pac-12.

The Ducks have struggled to defend the 3-pointer, though, with conference opponents shooting 39.5 percent against them. Washington went 11 for 24 from beyond the arc against Oregon State, with Andrews finishing 6 for 9.

"Washington has a number of good shooters, so we are going to have a tough matchup, and our defense against the 3 really has got to improve," Altman said.
