SATURDAY
NO. 3 FLORIDA @ LSU
3:45 pm ET, CBS
Vanderbilt snapped the Florida Gators win streak ? the nation's longest ? by upsetting the Gators 83-70. Florida (24-3, 11-1) had won 17 straight games and needed a victory to clinch at least a share of the SEC's Eastern Division and the overall league title. They also had won seven straight against the Commodores.
The LSU Tigers came into their Fat Tuesday game at Kentucky with a fat chance of winning. Without injured star center Big Baby Davis on the road and facing a team that, at least theoretically, should have been desperate to win, LSU fought the good fight. After 35 minutes in Rupp Arena, the Tigers had played the Wildcats to a 58-all standstill. In the end, a Kentucky team with serious issues of its own pitched a four-minute shutout at LSU, took a 68-58 lead and wobbled off with a 70-63 win.

SATURDAY
NO. 8 PITTSBURGH @ NO. 12 GEORGETOWN
2:00 pm ET, CBS
Pittsburgh (No. 8 ESPN/USA Today; No. 10 AP) is coming off a key road win earlier this week when they beat Seton Hall 71-68. The Panthers (24-4, 11-2 Big East) awarded coach Jamie Dixon with his 100th victory (100-26). He reached the milestone faster than any coach in school history.
Georgetown extended its winning streak to 10 games with a 75-65 victory over Cincinnati Wednesday night. The Hoyas (21-5, 11-2 Big East) took control with a 13-point run late in the first half, and the league's toughest defense held off its worst team.
