Sunday
No. 19 Cincinnati at Xavier, 7 p.m. ET (ESPNU)
I don't care what the records are for either of these teams. This is always a classic in the Queen City. The Bearcats have the big three in Deonta Vaughn, Yancy Gates and Lance Stephenson, but talent can be negated when an opponent walks into the Cintas Center. Cincy can afford a loss to its rival after beating Vandy and Maryland and losing in overtime to Gonzaga. But if Xavier wants to start sniffing an at-large bid again, it must pull off the upset. Xavier lost two of three in Orlando and then fell at Kansas State by double figures. The Musketeers still have road games at Butler and Wake Forest, but they need a signature win before A-10 play begins. This would suffice.
