College basketball on television: Feb. 25

Brad Nessler and Jim Spanarkel are on the case in Rupp Arena on Saturday afternoon at 2:00 as No. 13 Florida plays No. 11 Kentucky for first place in the SEC.

Fresh off its 74-63 win over Louisville on Wednesday, ACC leader North Carolina travels to 15-13 Pittsburgh at noon on the ACC Network, which will be carried locally by CW Lexington/WKYT-DT2. Roy Williams’ Tar Heels are 12-3 in conference play. Pittsburgh is 4-11.

Trying to rebound from Wednesday’s loss to Butler, No. 2 Villanova plays host to No. 23 Creighton at 3 p.m. on Fox. Villanova is 26-3 overall and 13-3 in the Big East. Creighton is 22-6 overall and 9-6 in the Big East.

No. 14 Purdue travels to Michigan in what will be an important game with NCAA Tournament implications for the host Wolverines. Michigan is 18-10 overall and 8-7 in the Big 10. Purdue is 23-5 overall and 12-3 in league play after winning at Penn State on Tuesday.

The ESPN College GameDay folks are in Tucson for Saturday night’s 8:15 p.m. showdown between No. 4 Arizona and No. 5 UCLA. Arizona is 15-1 in the Pac-12. UCLA is 12-3 and it might be an uncomfortable experience for star forward T.J. Leaf, who committed to Arizona before signing with the Bruins.

That will be followed on ESPN by No. 1 Gonzaga’s attempt to lock down a perfect regular season when the Zags play host to 20-10 BYU at 10:15 p.m. on ESPN.
