Louisvilla Louisville Cardinals vs Miami Miami Hurricanes

Time: 2:00 p.m. ET
Location: Coral Gables, FL
TV: ESPNU
Pick: Miami (-125)

The Miami Hurricanes are red-hot and have broken into the AP Top 25. They've won seven of their last eight with the only loss coming in a razor-close road game against No. 13 Virginia.

They've gone 15-2 at home and face a Louisville Cardinals squad that is 3-7 on the road. The Cardinals are heavily reliant on threes which tend not to drop in hostile territory. They shoot a modest 33.5% from deep on the road, compared to 37.6% at home. 

They've dropped their last three away contests and Miami's strength and physicality will be too much for them here.  

Oklahoma Oklahoma Sooners vs Texas Texas Longhorns

Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
Location: Austin, TX
TV: SEC Network
Pick: Texas (-315)

The Texas Longhorns are in a bounce-back spot after losing on the road against No. 20 Arkansas. They're on the bubble and another win would solidify their resume. 

The Oklahoma Sooners are 3-7 on the road and 4-9 in Quad 1 games. They've also dropped nine of the last 10 meetings between these teams, including a double-digit loss in Norman in January

OU is 14th in conference play in opponent 2PT% (55.9%) while ranking 15th in defensive rebounding rate. That's bad news against a highly-efficient Texas attack that ranks third in the SEC in 2PT% (55.1%) and fourth in offensive rebounding. 

UCLA UCLA Bruins vs USC USC Trojans

Time: 9:00 p.m. ET
Location: Los Angeles, CA
TV: FS1
Pick: UCLA (-275)

The USC Trojans have lost six in a row which includes an 81-62 loss to the UCLA Bruins in February. Their offense never recovered from losing Rodney Rice early in the season and now leading scorer Chad Baker-Mazara has left the team. 

They won't have much of a home-court advantage against cross-town rival UCLA. The Bruins are 3-1 in their last four, beating No. 9 Nebraska and No. 11 Illinois during that span. 

UCLA shoots a sizzling 37.1% from deep in conference play, compared to 28.4% for USC. The Trojans are also second-last in league in turnover rate while the Bruins rank third at forcing turnovers.
