Eighth-ranked North Carolina will test an offense that is averaging more than 90 points over the last six games when it visits No. 3 Virginia on Monday night for a critical ACC contest. The Tar Heels have won seven straight games after surviving a challenge from Miami (Fla.) on Saturday while grinding out an 88-85 overtime victory, and will face a Virginia team that is allowing a national-best 54.1 points per contest.

Baylor came up just shy of pulling even with Kansas State atop the Big 12 standings Saturday as a shorthanded Bears squad fell 70-63 to the Wildcats. With four projected starters out of action, Baylor will look to get back in the win column when it hosts Oklahoma on Monday night.

Down four rotation players from the beginning of the season, Kansas coach Bill Self started four freshmen for the second time in his 16-year tenure
in Saturday's 84-72 victory over Oklahoma State. Self's next task won't be an easy one either, as the 14th-ranked Jayhawks will need to snap a four-game road losing streak Monday against a TCU squad that beat a ranked team on the road for the first time in 21 years last time out.
