Louisville will look to bounce back from a tough loss when they visit Boston College in an Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) showdown on Wednesday night in Chestnut Hill, Mass. The Cardinals (16-6, 9-2 ACC) recently fell out of the AP Top 25 rankings following a 77-70 loss to Georgia Tech, which snapped their 10-game winning streak. It was Louisville’s first defeat since December 14, when they lost a high-scoring 93-85 battle at Kentucky. Now, head coach Pat Kelsey is focused on keeping his team consistent as they prepare for a challenging road test.

In December, Ohio State suffered one of its most humiliating losses of the season, falling 83-59 to Maryland in its Big Ten opener. Now, two months later, the Buckeyes have a golden opportunity to prove how much they’ve improved when they host the No. 18 Terrapins on Thursday night in Columbus.

However, this will be their first meeting as conference rivals in over three decades, adding an extra layer of intensity to the matchup.

Struggling to regain their early-season form, the Georgia Bulldogs (15-7, 3-6 SEC) host the LSU Tigers (12-9, 1-7 SEC) on Wednesday in a pivotal Southeastern Conference matchup in Athens, Georgia. Both teams are looking to reverse recent slumps, with Georgia battling for an NCAA Tournament spot and LSU desperate to find consistency. Georgia started the season strong, cracking the AP Top 25 for the first time in 14 years after impressive wins over then-No. 6 Kentucky and then-No. 17 Oklahoma in January. However, since reaching that milestone, the Bulldogs have dropped five of their last six games, putting their tournament hopes in jeopardy. A key issue has been offensive inefficiency.
