#3Kansas (23-3) @ #4Baylor (22-4) – 1PM ET, CBS

The biggest game of a big weekend will take place early on Saturday in the Big 12, as two potential #1 seeds go head to head. Baylor is the only team with even a chance to break Kansas’ streak of eleven straight Big 12 regular season championships, but to do so, they will need a victory here. The first meeting between these two teams ended with a 73-68 win for Kansas, but that game was in Allen Fieldhouse, now, Kansas will be on the road. To add to that, Baylor will come out playing angry after being upset by Texas Tech earlier this week, and I expect Jonathan Motley to lead the Bears to a win.

The Pick: Baylor

#14Virginia (18-7) @ #10North Carolina (22-5) – 8:15PM ET, ESPN

The 100th College Gameday will be in Chapel Hill for an ACC showdown between Virginia and UNC. For Virginia, this will be the third game this week, and the Wahoos are 0-2 so far in those games. Virginia lost to Virginia Tech in 2OT on Sunday in a game they should’ve won, and against Duke, Virginia just could not get anything going inside. I see the Cavaliers losing streak continuing, as they will have to play on the road against a red hot Tar Heels team that has scored 79 points in each of their last two games.

The Pick: North Carolina

#21South Carolina (20-6) @ Vanderbilt (13-13) – 8:30PM ET, SEC Network

Sunday 2/19

#23Maryland (22-4) @ #11Wisconsin (21-5) – 1PM ET, CBS

This is a big one in the Big Ten, as the winner of this game will take first place in the Big Ten, while the loser will fall to third. Maryland has rebounded after losing two straight, and Wisconsin could be without guard Bronson Koenig for this one, he is listed as questionable. The key to this one for Wisconsin, especially if Koenig is out, is to defend the three ball, which has been Maryland’s go to scoring all year long. As long as they can defend that three, the Badgers should be able to dominate inside, and in front of a home crowd, I’ve got Wisconsin taking a win.

The Pick: Wisconsin

Georgetown (14-12) @ #20Creighton (21-5) – 3:30PM ET, FS1
