January 15, 2018
Butler at Providence 4:30 PM ET
Butler posted a much needed victory its last time out, but things don't get much easier Monday. The Bulldogs visit Providence, a team seeking its third straight victory, in an intriguing Big East contest.
Maryland at Michigan 6:30 PM ET
Michigan looks to build on its biggest win of the season when it hosts Maryland on Monday. The Wolverines upset fourth-ranked Michigan State 82-72 on Saturday to notch their first road win over a Top 5 opponent since Jan. 25, 2014 and hope to take another step toward moving into the national rankings by posting their ninth win in 10 games.
Duke at Miami-Florida 7:00 PM ET

Offense meets defense in a clash of ranked ACC foes when No. 19 Miami hosts sixth-ranked Duke on Monday. The Blue Devils have one of the most explosive offensive teams in the nation, but they’ll take on one of the stingiest defensive clubs in the country in the Hurricanes. 

Florida State at Boston College 7:00 PM ET

With the gauntlet that is the ACC already showing its teeth, there aren’t many games teams can mark as ones they definitely should win. Both Florida State and host Boston College could make that case when they go head-to-head on Monday. 

Minnesota at Penn St. 7:00 PM ET

Despite struggling through an abysmal regulation Friday against Nebraska, Tony Carr came through for Penn State when it needed it most, scoring 11 of his 17 points in the extra session, including the game-winning jumper with 2.7 seconds remaining. Now the Nittany Lions will hope to avoid a mental letdown and look to continue their momentum when struggling Minnesota visits on Monday. 

Illinois at Nebraska 9:00 PM ET
Nebraska will look to bounce back from a tough overtime loss on Friday when it hosts Illinois in a Big Ten Conference contest Monday. The Cornhuskers fell by two at Penn State to drop to .500 in league play, while the Illini are looking for their first conference victory after five losses.
DePaul at Marquette 9:00 PM ET
Marquette can shoot the basketball with any team in Division I - but its hopes of reaching the NCAA Tournament will rest on its ability to prevent opposing teams from doing the same. The Golden Eagles look to bounce back from a humbling loss to Butler when it hosts DePaul on Monday.
Oklahoma State at Baylor 9:00 PM ET
Oklahoma State's roller-coaster week began with head coach Mike Boynton calling his team "gutless" in a loss at Kansas State. The Cowboys responded by rallying for a unlikely home win over Texas to move into a three-way tie for fifth place in the Big 12 Conference and they now move on to Monday night's road game at slumping Baylor.
Kansas at West Virginia 9:00 PM ET

The Big 12 is atop the national conference RPI rankings, and four ranked teams currently share the lead with 4-1 records. Two of those four clash in an ESPN Big Monday matchup as No. 2 West Virginia hosts No. 12 Kansas.
