Kansas vs. Houston, Kentucky vs. Tennessee and more: Follow college basketball Saturday live
It’s the final Saturday of the men’s college basketball regular season and they saved the best for last.
Alongside ongoing small conference tournaments is a solid slate that’s already delivered early. No. 1 Houston mauled No. 14 Kansas in a 30-point blowout while locking up the Big 12 title in its first season in the conference. In the SEC, No. 15 Kentucky and No. 4 Tennessee put on a show in a back-and-forth thriller.
But that all serves as a warmup for the most storied rivalry in the sport later as No. 7 North Carolina visits No. 9 Duke.
As teams battle for higher seeds or try to work their way off the NCAA tournament bubble, the last few games could be critical. Follow along live as Yahoo Sports tracks all the action on a loaded college basketball Saturday.
No. 7 North Carolina at No. 9 Duke, 6:30 ET, ESPN
The Tar Heels and Blue Devils have identical 24-6 records ahead of their rivalry matchup at Cameron Indoor Stadium. UNC came out on top in the first meeting between the teams on Feb. 4 as Armando Bacot and Harrison Ingram combined for 46 points and 23 rebounds in a 93-84 win. Duke has won eight of its last nine and would claim a share of the ACC regular season title with North Carolina if the Blue Devils win at home on Saturday. With five players averaging double figures, Duke is a well-balanced team that’s likely looking at a No. 2 seed.
