Notre Dame vs. Georgetown

The Fighting Irish need a late-season push to make it into the NCAA Tournament, and a road win against Georgetown would give them a huge boost. The Hoyas have struggled at times this season, but they should play well enough to defeat Notre Dame.

Kentucky vs. Tennessee

The Volunteers gave the Wildcats a great game on the road just two weeks ago. Now Tennessee gets to host the Wildcats, who are still at the top of the SEC standings. If the Volunteers can contain John Wall, this game could come right down to the wire.

Cincinnati vs. West Virginia

The Bearcats probably won’t make the tournament, but they should be able to give the Mountaineers a good game. West Virginia has a great shot at a No. 2 seed, and it doesn’t want to lose focus against Cincinnati. Coach Bob Huggins will have his team ready to play well at home.

South Carolina vs. Kentucky

John Wall and the Wildcats will be ready for this game. The Gamecocks are the only team with a win against Kentucky this season, and the Wildcats will be looking for revenge. Wall and his team will come out !ring on all cylinders to try to put South Carolina away early.

Villanova vs. Syracuse

The winner of the Big East will likely be determined by this game. The Wildcats and the Orange have separated themselves from the other teams in their conference, and these teams are good enough to meet up again in the Final Four. Syracuse has the home court advantage, but both of their losses this season have come in the Carrier Dome. Scottie Reynolds has plenty of big-game experience, while Syracuse has several players who know what it takes to win big games. The Orange’s defense could give the Wildcats some trouble, but Villanova has enough shooters to beat the zone. This should be a great matchup of two very good teams.
