Saturday marks one of the biggest days of the college basketball season to date, with a pair of ranked vs ranked matchups and a number of bubble battles. Check out the official Crazy Sports Dude college basketball Saturday viewing guide for February 20th, 2020.

Early Afternoon

The day kicks off with a very light noon slate due to the blockbuster Florida State vs Virginia Tech matchup being canceled. Indiana, a bubble team currently rising in my bracketology, will look to avoid being pulled back down to earth as the Hoosiers host Michigan State.

At 1, UConn, another bubble team, has a shot to get a massive resume-building victory against Villanova, and an hour later, Texas Tech and Kansas will square off in a game between two teams fighting to get a coveted top-four seed in March Madness. Over on ESPN2, once-mighty Missouri will look to stop a three-game skid @ Tom Crean’s Georgia Bulldogs.

Late Afternoon

At 3, we are blessed with the rare ABC college basketball game, and it is a big one, as West Virginia and Texas will go to battle. The loser of that one will be essentially eliminated from the race to be the #2 seed in the upcoming Big 12 Tournament. At 3:30, Minnesota, a once ranked team now plummeting onto the bubble will look to pick up a big resume booster against Illinois. At 4, Florida State looks to stay in the ACC Title race against a tricky Pitt squad.

At 6, North Carolina hopes to rebound from a tough loss last Saturday as they face Louisville, and USC looks to continue their journey towards the Pac-12 crown facing Arizona. A half an hour earlier, bubble team Seton Hall travels to DC to play Georgetown in a must-not-lose game for their tournament chances.

Evening

In primetime, a Duke team that is on fire right now hopes to keep their slim NCAA Tournament chances alive as they face Virginia. Over on FS1, Colorado State looks to stay on the right side of the bubble @ Nevada, and on ESPN3, the top two teams in the Summit League face off, as it will be North Dakota State against South Dakota State.

Arizona State-UCLA and Oregon-Utah are the late-night #Pac12AfterDark clashes. Both UCLA and Oregon would be in the NCAA Tournament field for now, but both need to avoid taking on too many losses. If the Pac-12 isn’t weird enough for you, Big West favorite UC Santa Barbara, winners of ten in a row, hosts Cal State Bakersfield, one of the deepest and most experienced teams in the country over on ESPN3.

A reminder, as always, these rankings DO NOT reflect a team’s resume. They are solely used to measure a team’s strength in the sense Vegas would to set lines. Thus, team talent remains an important variable throughout the season. Additionally, recent games are weighted more heavily, and if you are lucky or don’t look good in a win, you may fall, while if you look good or are unlucky in a loss, you may rise. Let’s get into it.

Ohio State basketball is on fire right now. The Buckeyes are winners of five straight, four of the five coming in “Quadrant One” games. The five wins have been by an average of nine points, and the Buckeyes’ defense, long considered to be the team’s weakness, has looked up to task, including an impressive performance @ Wisconsin where the Buckeyes held the Badgers to just 62 points.

This recent hot streak has not gone unnoticed, and Ohio State officially earned themselves a spot on the coveted one line, displacing Villanova, which had held the 4th overall spot previously. Ohio State finds themselves with nine quadrant one victories, more than any team in the country, and seven more than Villanova. That is worth more than enough to outweigh the fact that OSU has two additional losses on their resume as opposed to the ‘Cats.

With four Q1 opportunities left on their schedule (@ Penn State, vs Michigan, vs Iowa, vs Illinois) plus the possibility of the Big Ten tournament, Ohio State has an opporuntity to climb even higher and displace Michigan, a team that has been stuck on a COVID pause, from the #3 overall seed.

That being said, the tough remaining schedule also means the Buckeyes have lots of potential to lose more games before the official bracket is revealed on March 14th, but for now, OSU controls their own destiny to a one seed.

The Pac-12 has faded into the background of the college basketball sphere in 2021. An announcement by the conference that they would not play non-conference games, which was then later reversed, left teams struggling to fill their schedules, leading to a lack of blockbuster games featuring the teams out west.

Over the course of the season, though, we have watched as many different schools have gotten their turn as the conference’s darling. It was Oregon to start the year, then people noticed the raw talent on Stanford, Colorado got a turn, and most recently UCLA, but one team has emerged from the pack recently: Andy Enfield’s USC Trojans. The team, led by future NBA star Evan Mobley, holds a 10-1 record since the calendar flipped to 2021, the lone loss being a fluky one-possession defeat in Corvallis.

On Saturday, USC cemented itself as what many of us already knew them to be: the best team in the Pac-12. The Trojans dominated a ranked UCLA team from tip to buzzer en route to a 66-48 victory, holding their cross-town rivals to the fewest points the Bruins had scored all season. The win pushed USC to a 9-2 record in conference play, leaving them tied with UCLA atop the conference, but thanks to the head-to-head victory, the Trojans now control their own destiny to a Pac-12 crown, a feat they have not achieved since 1985, when they shared the title with Washington, back when the conference was still known as the Pac-10. Were the Trojans to be able to win an outright title, it would be the first since 1961, when the conference was known as the Athletic Association of Western Universities and consisted of just five schools.

A reminder, as always, these rankings DO NOT reflect a team’s resume. They are solely used to measure a team’s strength in the sense Vegas would to set lines. Thus, team talent remains an important variable throughout the season. Additionally, recent games are weighted more heavily, and if you are lucky or don’t look good in a win, you may fall, while if you look good or are unlucky in a loss, you may rise. Let’s get into it.

The Big Ten has far and away been the best conference in college basketball this year. According to the most recent update of the CSD Prime College Basketball Computer model, the average Big Ten team holds a ranking of 34th. The next highest conference is the Big 12, 15 spots lower at 49th. The SEC, ACC, and Big East all fall about ten spots below that, and the Pac-12 trails even further back.

It takes a conference as dominant as the Big Ten to put a team like Maryland, with a 10-8 record, into the NCAA tournament conversation, but the Terps’ resume is hard to deny. Maryland ranks 37th in the NET with four Q1 victories. All eight losses for UM come in Q1 games.

Only three other teams in the country have at least four Q1 victories and zero sub-Q1 defeats, and they are all ranked in the top ten of the AP poll. So come on, I know they’ve got eight losses, but let’s put the Terps in the field.

Saturday marks one of the biggest days of the college basketball season to date, with three ranked vs ranked matchups and a number of bubble battles. Check out the official Crazy Sports Dude college basketball viewing guide for Saturday, February 6th, 2020.

The day begins with a battle between the two teams leading the SEC standings right now: Alabama and Missouri. Over on FOX at the same time, Seton Hall will look to add a big road win to their resume against UConn. In the 2 PM ET hour we see a pair of additional ranked vs ranked games as Wisconsin faces Illinois and Kansas travels to West Virginia. Over on the ACC Network, Clemson looks to stop their skid against a hungry Syracuse team.

At 3, Texas takes on Cade Cunningham and Oklahoma State, and at 4, Pitt travels to Virginia in what may be a must-win game for the Panthers’ NCAA Tournament hopes. At 6, UNC and Duke is, strangely, a bubble battle, and the night finishes with a big game out west: UCLA against USC.
