2.  Iowa State vs. Texas A&M

Alex Caruso is in the final year of his playing career at Texas A&M. Georges Niang is in his final season playing for Iowa State. These two seniors will clash in a battle for a major signature win.

These two players share a bit of a parallel story. Niang disappointed in the final games of Iowa State’s season last year and they underachieved. As for Caruso, he didn’t help Texas A&M get into the 2015 NCAA tournament because of the way that the Aggies finished the year.

This game will be a signature win for whichever team manages to claim victory. If Caruso can pull off this win, as well as in 20 games, it could be more than enough to get Texas A&M in the NCAA tournament. This could be a senior swan song story before the end of the year. Oh yeah, let’s not also forget about Danuel House.

The 6’7″ shooting guard is one of the most important keys to Texas A&M’s success. He should be healed from the minor knee injury he currently has and should be a big key to victory.
