Big week seeding-wise for Purdue and Ohio State, while others are battling for their tournament lives. How long can Kansas remain top dog? Will Michigan State find a way to win a big one? Can Cincinnati get a much-needed resume win?
10. Washington (17-7, 9-4) at No. 12 Arizona (21-4, 10-2), Saturday, 6 p.m., ESPN
It's not too late for the Huskies to catch 'Zona in the Pac-10, but they will certainly need a win Saturday -- and some help. They are a full game back in the standings, but Arizona still has to win at UCLA. If UW can pull the upset on the road and win out, they will finish in a tie with the Wildcats (UW would get the crown based on tie breakers). Either way, the Huskies could use a big win over an Arizona team they have already beaten this year.
9. No. 25 Utah State (23-3, 12-1) at St. Mary's (22-4, 10-1), Saturday, 9 p.m., ESPN2
A win here for either team would pretty much lock-up an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, barring any unforeseen occurrences following this game. Still, this could be the difference between being a 7 and 9 seed, so it is a big game for both teams. Plus it will serve as a tune up for their respective conference tournaments.
