The college basketball season is heading toward the home stretch.
Conference play is in full swing as teams vie for both conference tournament and NCAA tournament positioning.
With football season winding down it's time you got ready for some quality college hoops. UNC-Duke, Michigan St.-Ohio St., and a few matchups that may surprise you make the list.
Ohio St. vs. Indiana: January 15
After a few solid recruiting classes, head coach Tom Crean finally has Indiana back near the top of the Big Ten. Unfortunately for Hoosier fans, though, Jared Sullinger plays for Ohio St. Both teams are sure to get somewhere between a 1 and 3 seed come March and if Indiana's buzzer-beating upset of Kentucky earlier this season is any indication, this will definitely be worth watching.
Syracuse vs. Georgetown: February 8
The Big East race may once again come down to the conference's biggest rivalry. Both Syracuse and Georgetown have spent a large part of the season ranked in the top 10. Their February 8 matchup at the Carrier Dome will carry NCAA Tournament seed implications and also put the winner in the driver's seat for a Big East Tournament bye.
Baylor vs. Kansas: February 8
In this second game of the year between Baylor and Kansas an all important "quality win" will be up for grabs. The Bears and Jayhawks are evenly matched on both ends of the floor: they are the top shooting teams in the Big 12 while also ranking in the top third of the league in opponent's field goal percentage. Each team will focus on neutralizing the other's star — Thomas Robinson (KU), Perry Jones (BU) — putting pressure on Kansas's guards or Baylor's other forwards to come up big.
