The No. 2 Duke Blue Devils (24-3, 15-1 ACC) have been rolling through the ACC, and they don’t look like they’re slowing down anytime soon. Winners of four straight games, Duke is fresh off a 110-67 dismantling of Illinois at Madison Square Garden. That win helped them jump one spot in the AP Top 25, even though previous No. 2 Florida didn’t lose last week. Their opponent on Tuesday? A struggling Miami team (6-21, 2-14 ACC) that has lost three straight and is enduring its worst season since 1993. In the first matchup between these teams on January 14, Duke embarrassed Miami with an 89-54 blowout. The rematch in Coral Gables isn’t expected to be much different, with Duke favored

No. 11 Wisconsin (21-6, 11-5 Big Ten) looked poised to extend its five-game winning streak against Oregon on Saturday, holding a 62-47 lead with under eight minutes to play. Then, everything fell apart. Oregon erased the deficit, forced overtime, and escaped with a 77-73 win, handing the Badgers a gut-wrenching loss that could impact their Big Ten seeding. Head coach Greg Gard didn’t mince words after the collapse. The Badgers turned the ball over 17 times, including 11 in the second half, and didn’t shoot a single free throw—a sign of how much they lost control of the game. Now, with four regular-season games left, Wisconsin needs to regain its edge to stay in the hunt for a top-four Big

No. 19 Louisville (21-6, 14-2 ACC) has surpassed all expectations in head coach Pat Kelsey’s first season, and on Tuesday night, the Cardinals have a chance to solidify their spot as one of the ACC’s top teams. A win over Virginia Tech (12-15, 7-9 ACC) would: Perhaps even more significantly, a victory would allow Kelsey to tie Hall of Famer Denny Crum for the most regular-season wins in a debut season at Louisville. Crum’s 1971-72 squad won 26 games and reached the Final Four, a benchmark that once seemed impossible for this program after back-to-back 12-win seasons. But Kelsey and his veteran roster have engineered one of the best turnarounds in college basketball. That approach has worked to near perfection.

With just two weeks left in the regular season, the Big Ten Tournament race is tighter than ever—and Tuesday’s matchup between Northwestern and Minnesota could determine who gets in and who gets left out. If the tournament started today, Minnesota (14-13, 6-10 Big Ten) would make the cut, while Northwestern (14-13, 5-11 Big Ten) would be on the outside looking in. But with a Wildcats win, they would jump over the Golden Gophers in the standings, flipping the script on their postseason hopes. Which team will step up under pressure and take control of their Big Ten destiny? The Wildcats haven’t won two straight games since December, but they have a golden opportunity to change that after a dominant 70-49
