PRESENTED BY Here's what you need to know about college basketball for Sunday, Feb. 18: to try to turn a bad week around after getting slammed at Penn State Thursday. The Buckeyes beat Michigan at home in early December, but the Wolverines are now a much more refined offensive team, making 3s and are in line with what John Beilein desires. The Buckeyes have to stay in step with Michigan State after . Focused. l — Ohio State Hoops (@OhioStateHoops) Ohio State has the tougher schedule between the two with a season finale at Indiana after a home game against Rutgers. Michigan State has two games remaining, Illinois at home and then at Wisconsin. But one thing is certain after the Badgers' win over Purdue earlier in the week: nothing is a given. with two left to play against the Bearcats. The Shockers have won three in a row, including avenging a previous loss at Temple. Cincinnati is coming off its first AAC loss at Houston. The Cougars are still a viable threat to challenge for the American title, and they play at Temple at the same time Sunday (4 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network). ICYMI: Shockers erased a 14-point halftime deficit to defeat Temple, 93-86. — Wichita State MBB (@GoShockersMBB) Wichita State was a preseason pick to challenge for the title and a few weeks ago it looked like there was no shot.

The Tigers will have to get creative at the point if Mitchell is a no-go. Win Season 113 Cinematic Recap — Duke Basketball (@DukeMBB) The Tigers are already down without their second-leading scorer Donte Grantham. So if Mitchell is out that means the Tigers will play Duke without two of their top four scorers. Duke won’t have Marvin Bagley III for the third straight game due to a mild knee sprain. But the Blue Devils have depth in the post. This would be a huge win for the Tigers at home if they can pull this off shorthanded. Will it be Rider or Canisius? with both teams at 13-2 and with three games to play. Rider lost at Canisius by one on Dec. 29. Seven days earlier, Rider beat Penn State at the buzzer in State College, Pa. Rider has won nine games in a row, Canisius six. Penn State and Nebraska are both pushing for an at-large bid out of the Big Ten. after knocking off Ohio State. Penn State has won four in a row and a win over Purdue, which has lost three straight, would be a bid-clincher. Just about 24 hours ago... We climbed with 10,000+ of our closest friendsPSU-79 OSU-56
