Preview Roundups
January 21, 2019
Maryland at Michigan St 6:30 PM ET
Michigan State looks for its 12th straight victory and to stay in first place in the Big Ten when it hosts Maryland on Monday in a key conference contest between ranked teams. The No. 6 Spartans are coming off a 70-64 victory at Nebraska on Thursday, while the No. 22 Terrapins enter on a seven-game winning streak after a 75-61 win at Ohio State on Friday.
Virginia Tech at North Carolina 7:00 PM ET
A key early-season ACC matchup between two ranked teams goes Monday evening as North Carolina welcomes Virginia Tech. The Hokies got back into the win column on Saturday with a win over Wake Forest, while the Tar Heels won their second in a row by beating Miami on the road.
Nebraska at Rutgers 8:00 PM ET

After having its 20-game home winning streak come to an end, Nebraska looks to climb back over .500 in Big Ten play when it visits Rutgers on Monday. The Cornhuskers missed an opportunity to add a marquee quadrant one win to their NCAA Tournament resume as they dropped a 70-64 decision to sixth-ranked Michigan State on Thursday, and they hope to get back into the win column by taking down the Scarlet Knights for the eighth time in nine meetings.

Creighton at Georgetown 8:30 PM ET
The three highest-scoring freshmen in the Big East will be on the floor Monday when Creighton visits Georgetown. James Akinjo and Mac McClung, the top two freshmen scorers in the conference, will lead the Hoyas against Marcus Zegarowski and the Bluejays.
Baylor at West Virginia 9:00 PM ET
The season looked bleak for Baylor when leading scorer Tristan Clark went down for the season with a knee injury Jan. 8, but freshman Jared Butler has stepped into the starting lineup and looked nothing like a rookie. After a stunning upset against No. 9 Texas Tech on Saturday, Butler will try to lead the Bears to their third straight victory when they travel to West Virginia on Monday to face a Mountaineers team that is coming off an equally stunning upset.
Iowa State at Kansas 9:00 PM ET
Kansas' 14-year stranglehold in the Big 12 could be loosening a bit should the eighth-ranked Jayhawks fall victim to visiting Iowa State on Monday for the second time this month. Kansas answered a 77-60 loss to the Cyclones on Jan. 5 with three straight victories before surrendering the final seven points in Saturday's 65-64 setback at West Virginia.
