College basketball weekend preview: Five best matchups to watch

We finally made it! The last weekend of the regular season is here, and that means Selection Sunday is right around the corner (next Sunday, to be exact). 

The top teams have surfaced but are still fighting for seeding. The bubble teams are scratching and clawing their way to get into the bracket. Other teams are just looking to play spoiler with the remaining time in the season. 

Looking into this weekend's games, there are three ranked vs. ranked games, six top-10 teams are playing on the road and several high-profile rivalry games. Translation — lots of upset potential.

Let's dive in! Here are the five best men's college hoops games to watch this weekend.

What to expect: Two of the top seven scoring teams in the country are in this game, with Kentucky ranked third (85.6 points per game) and Missouri just behind them at seventh (84.6 PPG). Both teams want to continue to add to their respective résumés with the tournament bracket coming out a week from Sunday. This will be a fun one to tune into.

Key stat: Missouri makes a living at the free-throw line, taking 27.2 free throws per game. That is the third-most per game in the entire country. The Tigers rely on those to help get easy points. The problem is that Kentucky isn't a team that fouls a lot. The Wildcats are in the middle of the pack in the SEC, committing 17.2 fouls per game (eight in the conference). If Kentucky keeps Missouri off the free throw line, the Wildcats have a great shot in this one.

Trends: The Wildcats are 8-0 this season when making at least 12 triples. They're also 13-4 this season when outrebounding their opponent. The Tigers are one win shy of matching their most SEC wins and what would be a record-setting 19th home win.

What to expect: All the
