Although Marquette and Butler do not rank among the top three teams in the Big East in terms of offensive production, neither squad is lacking when it comes to players who can create their own scoring opportunities. Three of the league's top four scorers will all be on display Friday when the Golden Eagles visit the Bulldogs.

There was a time when beating Wisconsin would be cause for celebration, but this Nebraska team wasn’t that impressed with its victory, rather more focused on “closing games better.” The surprising Cornhuskers will try to surpass last season’s win total when they travel to Penn State to take on a Nittany Lions bunch that’s also trying to take the next step up the conference ladder.

Good health has proven to be elusive for Providence this season, but coach Ed Cooley's squad may be rounding into form as most of the roster he expected to have at his disposal at the start of the season is returning. After earning their most impressive victory of the year last weekend, the Friars hope to remain intact Friday when they travel to DePaul.
