Preview Roundups
February 09, 2015
Duke at Florida St. 7:00 PM ET
Fresh off a 30-point trouncing of No. 10 Notre Dame for its third straight victory, No. 5 Duke will look to overcome an ACC foe that has given it trouble historically when it visits Florida State on Monday. The Blue Devils fired on all cylinders against the Fighting Irish on Saturday, leaving coach Mike Krzyzewski ecstatic about the well-rounded performance. "We have not executed that way in a long time on both ends of the court," he told reporters.
Oklahoma St. at Baylor 7:00 PM ET
Two teams riding a surge of momentum into the home stretch of the Big 12 season hope to stay hot when No. 19 Baylor hosts Oklahoma State on Monday. The Bears have won three straight and five of their last six and are coming off an 87-69 win at No. 12 West Virginia on Saturday. Oklahoma State has won three of the last five meetings, including a 64-53 victory in Stillwater on Jan. 27, and is trying to complete its first regular-season sweep of the Bears since 2006.
Iowa St. at Oklahoma 9:00 PM ET
No. 14 Iowa State travels to No. 21 Oklahoma for its third straight Big Monday game with a big question. Will junior transfer Jameel McKay - who responded to his first career start with a career-high 17 points on Saturday - remain in the starting lineup or move back to his spark-off-the-bench role? "I was just supposed to be ready when called upon," McKay told the media after Saturday's 75-38 win against Texas Tech.
Georgia Tech at Virginia Tech 9:00 PM ET
Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech find themselves in the bottom tier of the ACC standings, but both teams have had plenty of chances late in games. The Yellow Jackets travel to Virginia Tech on Monday in a matchup of teams with a combined three conference victories and far more close calls. The Hokies have suffered four defeats in league play by three points or fewer while Georgia Tech have eight ACC losses by seven points or fewer.
