Oregon Ducks vs Washington Huskies
10 Biggest Must-See Matchups in College Basketball This Weekend

The Oregon Ducks and Washington Huskies conclude their inaugural Big Ten basketball regular seasons with a showdown in Seattle. The Ducks are the superior team and will likely enter the contest as mid-range favorites; however, we can't look past Washington pulling off the upset. Granted, the Huskies have dropped five in a row, with their defense looking suspect. Still, the Ducks don't travel well, dropping four of their last six on the road. Sharp bettors will likely want a piece of the Huskies at a discounted rate.
Dayton Flyers vs VCU Rams
This is the Dayton Flyers' final opportunity to make a lasting impression on the NCAA Tournament committee. Dayton is conspicuously hovering on the wrong side of the tournament bubble and needs either an A10 Tournament win or a David versus Goliath moment in the regular season finale. Expect the Flyers to be at their best as they try to knock off the tournament-bound VCU Rams.

Colorado State Rams vs Boise State Broncos
The Boise State Broncos are clinging to their tournament lives but face a sincere challenge from the Colorado State Rams. Colorado State is also trying to make a late push for an invite to the big dance, winning six straight heading into Friday's Mountain West clash. The Rams have a distinct advantage from distance. If they can get the three-ball working, Boise State could have its postseason aspirations dashed.
(25) Mississippi State Bulldogs vs Arkansas Razorbacks
As it stands, the Arkansas Razorbacks haven't done enough to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Still, they could add a much-needed Quad 1 win in their regular season finale versus the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Arkansas is 12-4 at Bud Walton Arena and is taking on a Bulldogs' squad that has dropped three of their last four. A win pushes the Razorbacks closer to the NCAA Tournament.
(10) Iowa State Cyclones vs Kansas State Wildcats

Nothing is going right for the Iowa State Cyclones lately. The 10th-ranked Cyclones dropped a heartbreaking double-overtime loss to the BYU Cougars earlier in the week, giving them just one win over their last four games. Meanwhile, the Kansas State Wildcats are playing their regular-season finale at home and are looking to cap the season on a three-game winning streak. Iowa State will likely open as prohibitive favorites, amplifying the edge on the host Wildcats.
Cincinnati Bearcats vs Oklahoma State Cowboys
The Cincinnati Bearcats did what they could to stay in the tournament conversation, but a late-season collapse has undone them. Assuredly, that spiral will continue in Saturday's Big 12 clash versus the Oklahoma State Cowboys. OK State is 11-3 at home this season, dwarfing the Bearcats' four road wins. The Cowboys can push the pace, keeping Cincinnati out of their element and pulling off the upset.
Ohio State Buckeyes vs Indiana Hoosiers
There are only a few tournament spots still up for grabs. The Indiana Hoosiers and Ohio State Buckeyes are two teams left battling it out for a coveted berth. Coincidentally, these programs meet in the regular season finale, with the committee likely keeping a close eye on how both teams perform. The Hoosiers should open as short home favorites, but we like Ohio State's chances of continuing their late-season push.
(22) Texas A&M Aggies vs LSU Tigers
NCAA Tournament Bubble Watch Daily: 16 Teams On and Around the Bubble, March 7

It's been a tough go for the Texas A&M Aggies over the last few weeks of the regular season. Since February 15, Texas A&M has just one win under its belt. While it was a monumental upset over the top-ranked Auburn Tigers, it also sets up the regular season finale as a classic letdown spot. The LSU Tigers can deliver a heartfelt performance at home, upending the Aggies as prohibitive chalk.
(2) Duke Blue Devils vs North Carolina Tar Heels
This is it. Short of an ACC Tournament triumph, this is the North Carolina Tar Heels' last chance to show they are a tournament team. Knocking off the Duke Blue Devils at the Dean E. Smith Center as +11.5 underdogs is the type of quality win missing from their resume. With six straight wins under their belts, North Carolina can make a lasting impression with their biggest win of the year.
(3) Houston Cougars vs Baylor Bears
Over the last couple of weeks, the Baylor Bears have played themselves into a tournament berth. They can continue that ascent with another masterful performance versus the third-ranked Houston Cougars. Both teams play at a controlled tempo, meaning it will come down to whichever team can make the most of its shots and key defensive stops. An outright win isn't out of the question if Baylor can heat up from beyond the arc.
