How to watch, results, and highlights: Iowa State vs. Houston
Fans watch Houston basketball from the stands.

While the SEC gets most of the attention, the Big 12 has a strong argument for the second-best conference in the country. Saturday pits two of the conference's top teams against each other. Keshon Gilbert and the No. 8 Iowa State Cyclones (21-5) travel to Texas to play LJ Cryer and the No. 5 Houston Cougars (22-4). This will be the only regular-season meeting between the two teams.
Last month, the Cyclones lost three consecutive games, including one that involved a miraculous half-court shot. Since February 8, Iowa State has won four straight, including a 79-65 win over Colorado earlier this week. Houston has been one of the top college basketball programs over the last five years. Had their best player not been injured last year, the Cougars could have gone to the Final Four. Kelvin Sampson's Cougars are determined to make their second Final Four in five seasons.
Both teams are comfortably in the NCAA Tournament. However, each team could use another Quad 1 win to strengthen their resume. Find out how to watch the game between Iowa State and Houston. Read our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide for more February coverage.

How to watch, results and highlights: Oregon vs. Wisconsin
Fans watch from the stands as a basketball game takes place.

The Oregon Ducks (19-8) head to the Midwest to take on the No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers (21-5). The two teams are in opposite regions of the country, but due to conference realignment, both play in the Big 10. Oregon has struggled lately and ranks 8th in the Big 10. Meanwhile, Wisconsin is peaking at the right time and sits in third place within the conference.
It's been a tale of two seasons for the Ducks. On January 21, Oregon was 16-3 and cruising to a favorable seed in the NCAA Tournament. After a 3-5 stretch, the Ducks have fallen to 19-8. On the other sideline, the Badgers are one of the contenders for the Big 10 conference. Wisconsin takes care of business in their arena, with a 13-1 record at home.
Oregon desperately needs another Quad 1 win, but it will be no easy task on Saturday. Scroll below to find out how to watch the Ducks take on the Badgers. Make sure to read our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide for more coverage.

How to watch, results, and highlights: Everton vs. Manchester United
An aerial view of Goodison Park where Everton plays.

Everton and Manchester United are two teams desperately looking to turn their seasons around. Both teams are in the back half of the standings, with Everton in 14th (30 points) and United in 15th (29). These squads previously played each other in December, with Manchester United cruising to a 4-0 victory. This Saturday's matchup at Goodison Park should be more competitive.
Manchester United will notice a familiar face on Everton's sideline. David Moyes, United's coach from 2013 to 2014, became the Everton manager last month. Under Moyes, Everton has climbed out of relegation danger, having won four of their last five Premier League matchups. Meanwhile, United walks into Saturday's matchup having lost two consecutive league games.
Can Moyes and his new squad take down United? Find out how to watch the match between Everton and Manchester United below. Visit Digital Trends' Premier League guide for more Premier League coverage.
