Preview Roundups
February 08, 2016
Oklahoma St. at Texas Christian 7:00 PM ET
Oklahoma State's Big 12 campaign got off to a wonderful start with a rout of TCU at the beginning of last month, but the Cowboys' journey since that time has been littered with a bunch of close calls that haven't worked out in their favor. Coming off its fifth league loss by five points or fewer, Oklahoma State looks to avoid falling into a tie for last place in the conference when it squares off with the host Horned Frogs again on Monday.
Louisville at Duke 7:00 PM ET
Duke's collapse at the end of January and subsequent rare fall out of the Top 25 had been the talk of the ACC for nearly a month, at least up until Friday when Louisville announced it would self-impose a postseason ban for violations it committed within the men's basketball program. The Blue Devils eye a third straight win to begin February and close the gap on one of the ACC's two first-place teams Monday when they welcome the 18th-ranked Cardinals into Cameron Indoor Stadium.
St. John's at Georgetown 7:00 PM ET
It has certainly been a trying first season at the helm for St. John’s coach Chris Mullin. The Hall-of-Famer seeks to end the Red Storm’s record-setting losing streak when they visit long-time Big East rival Georgetown on Monday.
Texas at Oklahoma 9:00 PM ET
Oklahoma has had a terrific season to this point, but the second-ranked Sooners must rebound from their worst loss of the campaign Monday against visiting Texas. Oklahoma's first two losses came in a triple-overtime thriller at Kansas and a five-point road setback against a quality Iowa State team before an ugly defeat at Kansas State its last time out.
Notre Dame at Clemson 9:00 PM ET
Coming off its biggest win of the season, Notre Dame will try to avoid a letdown when it visits Clemson in a key ACC matchup Monday night. The two teams enter with identical 7-4 records in league play, but the Fighting Irish have the momentum after an 80-76 win over top-ranked North Carolina on Saturday.
