There isn't a 1 vs. 2 matchup to headline this weekend, but it remains a weekend of intriguing rematches that will have a sizable impact on conference races and NCAA tournament seeding.
The expansion of power conferences this season has meant we won't necessarily see a round-robin schedule or two head-to-head matchups, so we had to revisit March 2024 for one instance.
But Kentucky vs. Alabama is guaranteed entertainment on the offensive end; Iowa State vs. Houston will be tough defensively; Saint Mary's vs. Gonzaga is must-watch West Coast basketball; and St. John's vs. UConn is classic Big East basketball at Madison Square Garden.
