Preview Roundups
March 19, 2017
Belmont at Georgia Tech 12:00 PM ET
Belmont hopes its second trip to the state of Georgia in a six-day span results in another victory and a berth in the NIT quarterfinals. The seventh-seeded Bruins, who beat Georgia on Tuesday in the opening round behind a strong performance from sophomore Dylan Windler, travel to Georgia Tech on Sunday to face the sixth-seeded Yellow Jackets.
Michigan at Louisville 12:10 PM ET
Second-seeded Louisville and No. 7 seed Michigan will renew their NCAA Tournament hostilities when they meet in the second round of the Midwest Regional in Indianapolis on Sunday. The Cardinals downed Jacksonville State 78-63 in the first round, while Michigan held on to beat Oklahoma State 92-91 on Friday to set up a rematch of the classic 2013 National Championship game, which Louisville won 82-76.
Wichita St. at Kentucky 2:40 PM ET
Wichita State paid the price in the NCAA Tournament four seasons ago when it faced an under-seeded squad in Kentucky, which promptly ended the Shockers' run at history at 35-1. While the faces may have changed and the expectations - based on their seeding in this Tournament - almost are opposite of what they were in their 2014 meeting, much feels the same between the teams as they prepare to square off again Sunday in South Region second-round action in Indianapolis.
Texas Christian at Iowa 5:00 PM ET
Top-seeded Iowa is hoping for a long postseason to help an abundance of talented young players on the roster get high-level experience, and tries to add at least one more game to the schedule when it hosts fourth seed TCU in the second round of the NIT on Sunday. Four freshmen played a big part in the Hawkeyes’ 87-75 first-round victory over South Dakota and senior Peter Jok scored 20 to extend his career.
Michigan St at Kansas 5:15 PM ET
Two of the most successful programs in college basketball meet Sunday when top-seeded Kansas takes on No. 9 seed Michigan State in the second round of the Midwest Regional in Tulsa, Okla. Kansas can reach the Sweet 16 for the 30th time in its history after rolling past UC Davis 100-62 in the first round, while the freshman-heavy Spartans produced one of their best efforts of the season in a 78-58 win over Miami (Fla.) on Friday.
Michigan St at Kansas 5:15 PM ET

Two of the most successful programs in college basketball meet Sunday when top-seeded Kansas takes on No. 9 seed Michigan State in the second round of the Midwest Regional in Tulsa, Okla. Kansas can reach the Sweet Sixteen for the 30th time in its history after rolling past UC Davis 100-62 in the first round, while the freshman-heavy Spartans produced one of their best efforts of the season in a 78-58 win over Miami (Fla.) on Friday.

Arkansas at North Carolina 6:10 PM ET
North Carolina has unfinished business in the NCAA Tournament, but the next step for the top-seeded Tar Heels is Sunday's encounter with eighth-seeded Arkansas in Greenville, S.C. The Razorbacks advanced to the second round in the South Region with a close win over Seton Hall, while the Tar Heels cruised in their tournament opener.
Rhode Island at Oregon 7:10 PM ET
Oregon’s imposing frontline figured to take a step back without injured forward Chris Boucher, but the Ducks’ first-round win over Iona may have eased some of those fears. The third-seeded Ducks look to build on the impressive victory Sunday in a second-round Midwest Region matchup against No. 11 seed Rhode Island in Sacramento.
Southern California at Baylor 7:45 PM ET
Two teams that seem to save their best for last match up in the second round of the East Regional when No. 3 seed Baylor faces No. 11 seed USC on Sunday in Tulsa. The Bears rallied from a second-half deficit to win for the 12th time this season in their 91-73 first-round victory over New Mexico State, while the Trojans have been the feel-good story of the tournament so far, coming back from 17 down to defeat Providence, 75-71, in a First Four game on Wednesday night and then rallying from a 12-p
South Carolina at Duke 8:40 PM ET

Duke was considered one of the hottest teams in the nation entering the NCAA Tournament, while South Carolina slipped into the 68-team field despite a late-season swoon. The seventh-seeded Gamecocks came to life in a blowout first-round win, however, making for an intriguing matchup with the No. 2 seed Blue Devils in the second round of the East Region on Sunday in Greenville, S.C. 

Cincinnati at UCLA 9:40 PM ET
The top-scoring team in the country will take on one of the toughest to score against when third-seeded UCLA meets sixth-seeded Cincinnati in an East Region second round game Sunday evening at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. The Bruins average a nation-leading 90.6 points a game following their 97-80 first round win Friday against Kent State, and the Bearcats are fifth in the NCAA in scoring defense (60.8) following their 75-61 win against Kansas State in the opening round.
