#17 Notre Dame at #13 Louisville (ESPN | 7 PM ET)

Louisville head coach Rick Pitino has spent the last 3 days trying to figure out how to stop Notre Dame's offense, the best in the Big East, averaging more than 80 points per game. “They’ve been destroying zones,” Pitino said. “They shot like 56 percent for the game against Syracuse. I hate zone after watching that game. We’ve got to try a little bit of everything and see which one works.” None of the Cardinals' Big East opponents have managed to score more than 58 points at Freedom Hall this season. EDGE: LOUISVILLE
Notre Dame's Kyle McAlarney set a school record Sunday at home against Syracuse by nailing 9 3-pointers. Louisville is limiting opponents to just 30 percent shooting from beyond the 3-point arc at home this season, so McAlarney won't likely enjoy the same success on the road. EDGE: LOUISVILLE

USC at Arizona (ESPN | 9 PM ET)

USC has won 2 straight both SU & ATS since losing to rival UCLA at home back on February 17th. The Trojans beat both Oregon schools and will try to win their second straight trip to Tucson. They are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings with Arizona. EDGE: USC
USC point guard Daniel Hackett is probable to return from a back injury tonight and should see some action. Insiders believe Hackett is the key to the team and should provide a much-needed spark to the offense. (Check status on the Pregame Wire!) EDGE: USC
