The final Saturday of college basketball’s regular season has arrived, and it brings a handful of consequential matchups that will solidify where things stand in the high-major hierarchy entering the postseason. Nowhere is there more intrigue than in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
That’s where No. 2 Duke will be vying for the outright ACC title as it takes on North Carolina. The Blue Devils will be looking to complete the season sweep against a Tar Heels team that is living life on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Taking down Duke would give UNC some much-needed at-large ammunition entering the ACC Tournament.
Stakes will also be high in Bloomington, Indiana, as Ohio State and Indiana square off in a double-bubble battle. Both teams are living on the edge with respect to their at-large candidacies. Across the country, there are similar stakes. March is hitting its stride, and Saturday marks the final chance for many teams to establish momentum before the do-or-die nature of tournament play begins.
We’ll be tracking the top storylines of the day. Keep it locked here for news, highlights and analysis from across the country.
