Two teams looking to break out of ugly slumps collide on Sunday afternoon when Florida State visits Boston College. The 11th-ranked Seminoles are coming off an early-week loss to Pittsburgh, their second straight defeat and third in four games, while the Eagles lost their fifth in a row on Wednesday.

Junior guard Markus Howard, a candidate for Big East Player of the Year, is questionable to play when No. 13 Marquette hosts Providence on Sunday. Howard, who leads the Big East in scoring at 24.4 points per game, played only three minutes in Tuesday's 74-71 victory at Georgetown because of a back injury with coach Golden Eagles coach Steve Wojciechowski telling reporters Friday: “It would be premature to say he can play.”

Iowa looks to extend its winning streak to five games when it hosts Illinois on Sunday. The No. 24 Hawkeyes scored the final eight points in the 89-82 road victory against Penn State on Wednesday to climb back above .500 in Big Ten play and hope to continue their upward trajectory by knocking off the Fighting Illini for the third consecutive time.

Utah snapped a two-game losing streak and climbed back to .500 in Pac-12 play with last weekend’s victory over Washington State. The Runnin’ Utes now will try to close out their longest conference homestand of the season with a victory over visiting Colorado on Sunday.
