One week after losing to Auburn, No. 4 Alabama (21-5) will have another shot at securing a top-25 victory when they host the No. 17 Kentucky Wildcats (18-8). These two teams met last month in Lexington. Grant Nelson was the best player on the floor, scoring 25 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in a 102-97 win over the Wildcats.

Alabama comes into Saturday’s matchup on a two-game losing streak. After falling to Auburn at home, the Crimson Tide were no match for Missouri’s high-flying offense in a 110-98 loss. Kentucky is 5-5 in their last 10 games. That’s a respectable run, considering how tough the SEC is this year. Kentucky will be a tournament team barring an epic collapse.

Houston vs. Texas Tech: How to watch, results, and highlights

Kelvin Sampson of Houston stands and stares on the sidelines.

It's "Big Monday" in college basketball, and with a name like that, there must be a gigantic game. Luckily, the phrase holds true, as the Houston Cougars (23-4) travel to Lubbock to face the Texas Tech Red Raiders (21-6). Both teams are peaking at the right time and enter the game ranked inside the top 10. Texas Tech is one of the few teams to beat Houston, as the Red Raiders pulled off a one-point overtime victory over the Cougars on February 1.
Since the Texas Tech loss, Houston has won six consecutive games, including Saturday's 68-69 win over Iowa State. The Cougars are relentless on the defensive end and will give teams trouble in March. Speaking of the Red Raiders, Grant McCasland will have Texas Tech in the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season.
The winner of this game will gain a competitive advantage heading into the Big 12 Tournament, where they could face off in the championship. Find out how to watch the game between the Cougars and Red Raiders. Also, make sure to read our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide for more coverage.

It's a Sunday showcase in women's college basketball. Flau'jae Johnson and the No. 7 LSU Tigers (26-2) take on Georgia Amoore and the No. 14 Kentucky Wildcats (21-4). LSU and Kentucky are ranked third and fourth in the SEC. This will be the only matchup in the regular season between the two squads.

UConn v. St. John’s: How to watch, results, and highlights

Danny Hurley holds his arms out and smiles.

What's better than a Big East showdown at the Mecca? Liam McNeeley and the UConn Huskies (18-8) head to the Garden to play RJ Luis Jr. and the No. 10 St. John's Red Storm (23-4). These two rivals squared off a few weeks ago at Gampel Pavilion. Luis scored 21 points, and his running mate, Kadary Richmond, scored 13 in St. John's impressive 68-62 victory.
UConn is the two-time defending national champions, but they haven't played up to that level all season. McNeely is one of the most talented freshmen in the country. However, the lack of leadership at the point guard position is jarring and could lead to an early exit for the Huskies from the tournament. Meanwhile, it's been a magical year for Rick Pitino at St. John's. The Hall of Fame coach will have the Red Storm in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018–19.
UConn is running out of chances to improve its resume, while St. John's has its eyes set on a top-four seed. Find out how to watch a live stream of the Big East matchup below, and for more coverage, read our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide.
