Butler Bulldogs +6.0 -107 PINNACLE @ Georgetown Hoyas * 6:30 pm

Last Meeting ( Jan 31, 2026 ) Georgetown 77, Butler 64

Georgetown hosts free-falling Butler on Wednesday night in Washington, looking to earn its first season sweep of the Bulldogs in more than a decade.

The Hoyas (13-12, 5-9 Big East) got 17 points apiece from KJ Lewis and Vince Iwuchukwu in a 77-64 victory in the teams' first meeting in Indianapolis on Jan. 31. Georgetown last swept the Bulldogs in 2015 after also pulling off the feat in 2014.

Both Georgetown and Butler (13-13, 4-11) are among a group of six Big East teams separated by a game and a half for spots Nos. 6-11 ahead of Tuesday's game between Villanova and Xavier.

Arkansas Razorbacks +4.5 -105 BET99 @ Alabama Crimson Tide * 7:00 pm 

Last Meeting ( Feb 8, 2025 ) Alabama 85, Arkansas 81

Two of the best offensive teams in the nation will meet when No. 20 Arkansas and No. 25 Alabama play in Tuscaloosa, Ala, on Wednesday.

Stay alert, Alabama coach Nate Oats cautioned.

"I think it's going to be tooth and nail all the way through," Oats said. "They're talented, man. Like, really talented."

Only the thinnest of lines separates these Southeastern Conference contenders, two of the SEC's four ranked teams, as they race for one of four double-byes in the league tournament.

Alabama (18-7, 8-4 SEC) is averaging 91.8 points per game, tied for second in NCAA Division I, and is third in adjusted offensive efficiency in the KenPom rankings.

Arkansas (19-6, 9-3) is averaging 88.8 points per game and is ranked fifth in adjusted offensive efficiency. The teams are 17-18 in KenPom's adjusted efficiency margin, which measures overall performance, with the Razorbacks a bristle ahead.

BYU Cougars @ Arizona Wildcats -11.5 -105 PINNACLE * 9:00 pm 

Last Meeting ( Jan 26, 2026 ) Arizona 86, Brigham Young 83

Injuries are at the forefront of No. 4 Arizona hosting No. 23 BYU in Wednesday's Big 12 game at Tucson, Ariz.

Arizona's nine-week run at No. 1 came to an end after consecutive losses last week at Kansas and at home against Texas Tech, a game in which freshman standout Koa Peat was unavailable after halftime because of a lower-leg injury and reserve Dwayne Aristode missed because of an illness.

BYU's starting senior wing player Richie Saunders suffered a season-ending torn ACL 45 seconds into the Cougars' win over Colorado at Provo, Utah on Saturday.

When Arizona defeated BYU 86-83 at Provo on Jan. 26, that started a four-game losing streak for the Cougars, who have won consecutive close games at Baylor (99-94) and against Colorado.

In the Wildcats' Big Monday win over BYU last month, they escaped in the closing seconds with a weak-side block from freshman sensation Brayden Burries on a drive to the basketball by Robert Wright III.

The Cougars almost pulled off the upset despite being down 19 points with less than 11 minutes remaining.
