Marquette will have its perfect 10-0 home record on the line when the No. 18 Golden Eagles host Xavier Sunday afternoon. Marquette saw its eight-game win streak end in Tuesday's 89-69 defeat to St. John’s in the Golden Eagles’ Big East opener.

Illinois and Northwestern will be searching for their first Big Ten win when the in-state opponents meet Sunday at refurbished Welsh-Ryan Arena in Evanston, Ill.

Michigan has been at its best against the best this season, defeating all three of its ranked opponents by at least 17 points.

Iowa's high-flying offense was good enough to power Fran McCaffery's squad to an undefeated record in non-conference play, but the same defense that ranked last in the Big Ten in scoring defense a season ago has reared its ugly head again during conference action in 2018-19. Hoping to avoid a second straight 0-4 start in league play, the 20th-ranked Hawkeyes attempt to move to 9-1 at home Sunday when they host No. 23 Nebraska.

It hasn't been a very happy new year for Miami as it gets ready to travel to Louisville on Sunday for the Cardinals' first ACC matchup of the year.

Penn State's slow start in Big Ten play may have got the best of coach Patrick Chambers, who was suspended one game for pushing freshman guard Myles Dread in the chest during a huddle midway through the first half of the Nittany Lions' latest loss at No. 4 Michigan.

Despite battling injuries and inconsistency all season, USC remains a dangerous team in the wide-open Pac-12 race. The Trojans aim for their fourth straight win Sunday against visiting Stanford, which began conference play with Thursday’s 92-70 loss to UCLA.
