It’s a great day of college basketball with 17 of the Top 25 teams in the country in action. The day is headlined by a matchup between No. 6 Baylor and No. 4 Missouri at 1:45 p.m. ET and a matchup between No. 11 Michigan State and No. 3 Ohio State at 6:00 p.m. ET.

No. 6 Baylor Vs. No. 4 Missouri, 1:45 p.m. ET, ESPN3: Both teams are at the tops of the Big 12 standings as the Baylor Bears come to the Mizzou Arena to take on the Missouri Tigers. Baylor will be trying to win at Mizzou for the first time in 64 years while the Tigers will be trying to extend their winning streak to five games. The Tigers beat the Bears in their matchup back on Jan. 21, winning in a close one 89-88 at Baylor.

No. 11 Michigan State Vs. No. 3 Ohio State, 6:00 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN3: In a battle for the top of the Big Ten standings, the Michigan St. Spartans will travel to Value City Arena to take on the Ohio St. Buckeyes. Both teams have struggled to pull out victories against weaker Big Ten teams, so a matchup against the conference's best will be a good refresher for each team.
