Just about every team in top 25 will be in action on Saturday.
However, we're going to take a look at the games that I see as marquee matchups.
The Big East powerhouses will take the floor on Saturday, with No. 1 UCONN up against Seton Hall. Also, No. 12 Marquette takes on St. John's, and Georgetown and No. 22 Syracuse square off in a rivalry week game.
These games could alter the make up of the Big East. A loss by Marquette and a win by UCONN would help the Huskies get even closer to the season title. Also, Syracuse needs a win over Georgetown to help their tournament hopes.
The ACC also has important conference games this weekend. The best matchup of the weekend will be No. 25 Florida at No. 8 Wake Forest. Wake Forest has been struggling lately, dropping three out of their last four games. The Deamon Deacons suffered a 27 point to Miami, and are coming off an 82-76 loss to North Carolina State. If Wake Forest wants a top seed in the tournament, they must win this game.
Purdue and Iowa sqaure off in an always tough Big Ten game. Purdue comes in to the game ranked No. 23 in the nation, and essentially the favorite, but the Boilermakers can't let up at all against the Hawkeyes. Both teams like to shoot the three, so it will be interesting to see which team can catch fire. Purdue has a little edge in size, so they will have to exploit that as well.
