There are just three weeks left in the college basketball regular season. Here are predictions for each Top 25 game in Week 15.

The end of the NFL season usually marks the time when college basketball starts to creep into the hearts and minds of casual sports fans. That presence could be heightened with Major League Baseball still in the midst of a lockout that will delay spring training, allowing college basketball more time in the limelight ahead of March Madness.

We are coming off a crazy week where six teams in last week’s Top 10 got upset, leading to a big shakeup in the Week 15 AP Top 25 poll. There are a lot of great games on tap this week, so let’s dive right in with a look at some predictions for every game involving a Top 25 team set for the next seven days.
