01-14-23 | Tennessee State v. Tennessee Tech -1.5 | Top | 63-71 | Win | 100 | 4 h 57 m | Show |
Offensive production has been hard to come by for Tennessee State this season, as they are currently ranked 188th in college basketball at 71.3 points per game. A major reason for low scoring totals is the fact that they have played at a below average pace, and have struggled to knock down outside shots. As a team, the Tigers’ 3-point shooting percentage sits at just 35.0%, placing them 186th in the NCAA. |

01-14-23 | Arkansas v. Vanderbilt +3.5 | Top | 84-97 | Win | 100 | 3 h 56 m | Show |
When they meet for the first time this season Saturday afternoon in Nashville, Tenn., No. 15 Arkansas and Vanderbilt need to turn their young Southeastern Conference campaigns around. For Arkansas (12-4, 1-3 SEC), a team that had high hopes, that need is immediate. After winning 12 of their first 14 games and getting mentioned in a group of early SEC favorites as a possible Final Four contender, the Razorbacks have lost their last two games against ranked opponents. The team's current stumbles can be traced back to a pair of unfortunate occurrences earlier in the season. Freshman sensation Nick Smith Jr. was sidelined early in the campaign with soreness in his right knee. That led to more missed games and an update from soreness to "right knee management." The ailment currently persists for the talented 6-foot-5 guard -- a five-star talent who can create his own shot and run the offense through him. |

01-14-23 | Georgia +6 v. Ole Miss | Top | 62-58 | Win | 100 | 2 h 2 m | Show |
Georgia looks for its sixth win in its past seven games when it visits slumping Ole Miss in a Southeastern Conference matchup on Saturday afternoon at Oxford, Miss. The Bulldogs (12-4, 2-1) are coming off a 58-50 win over Mississippi State on Wednesday, while the Rebels (8-8, 0-4) dropped their fifth straight game with an 82-73 loss at home to No. 21 Auburn on Tuesday.

01-14-23 | West Virginia v. Oklahoma -3.5 | 76-77 | Loss | -103 | 1 h 7 m | Show | |
Saturday's game is West Virginia's first since the firing of associate head coach Larry Harrison. Harrison had been on Huggins' staff since Huggins arrived at West Virginia in 2007 and had coached under Huggins for eight seasons at Cincinnati. On his weekly radio show Thursday, Huggins said he "wasn't as involved as it's being portrayed I was" in the decision to dismiss Harrison. The Mountaineers (10-6, 0-4 Big 12) are looking to avoid just their second 0-5 start since joining the league. To do that, West Virginia would have to snap a seven-game regular-season losing streak to Oklahoma, its longest current streak in the conference. The Sooners (10-6, 1-3) have dropped three conference games by a combined eight points, including Tuesday's 79-75 loss at No. 2 Kansas. |

Offensive production has been hard to come by for Utah Tech this season, as they are currently ranked 163rd in college basketball at 72.5 points per game. A major reason for low scoring totals is the fact that they have played at a below average pace, and have struggled to knock down outside shots.

With a trio of convincing double-digit victories to open SEC play, No. 4 Alabama soars into a matchup against No. 15 Arkansas on Wednesday at Fayetteville, Ark. Inching back up in the rankings after they were No. 4 a mere four weeks ago, the Crimson Tide (13-2, 3-0 SEC) regained their top-four status after a convincing 78-52 victory at home over Kentucky on Saturday. Freshman Brandon Miller scored 19 points with seven rebounds, Mark Sears had 16 points with six rebounds, six steals and four assists, while Jahvon Quinerly had 12 points. In shooting 48.1 percent from the field, and 51.6 percent in the second half, Alabama handed Kentucky its largest true road loss since February 2013. |

01-11-23 | High Point v. Charleston Southern +2 | Top | 69-106 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show |
Offensive production has been hard to come by for High Point this season, as they are currently ranked 251st in college basketball at 69.5 points per game. A major reason for low-scoring totals is the fact that they have played at a below-average pace, and have struggled to knock down outside shots.

The Monmouth Hawks had a terrible game offensively last time out as they were only able to score 35 points on 13-of-48 (27.1 percent) from the floor and 2-of-12 (16.7 percent) from beyond the arc. I'm not backing that stat line with my money tonight. |

01-10-23 | Michigan State v. Wisconsin | Top | 69-65 | Win | 100 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
No. 18 Wisconsin will try to bounce back from its first conference loss when it hosts Michigan State in a Big Ten matchup Tuesday night in Madison, Wis., but much rides on the status of Badgers forward Tyler Wahl. Wisconsin (11-3, 3-1 Big Ten) lost 79-69 at Illinois on Saturday without Wahl, the team's leading scorer (13.2 ppg) and second-leading rebounder (6.4), who injured his right ankle in the previous game. The Badgers are a different team without the preseason all-Big Ten pick. Michigan State (11-4, 3-1) won at home, 59-53, over arch-rival Michigan on Saturday, the Spartans' sixth consecutive victory. Wisconsin went into Illinois allowing just 61.2 points per contest but allowed the Illini to shoot 10 of 19 from 3-point range |

Offensive production has been hard to come by for Loyola Maryland this season, as they are currently ranked 353rd in college basketball at 66.1 points per game. A major reason for low-scoring totals is the fact that they have played at a below-average pace, and have struggled to knock down outside shots.

01-08-23 | Northwestern +6.5 v. Indiana | 84-83 | Win | 100 | 2 h 42 m | Show | |
There's never a good time to be without two key starters who boast over 6,000 minutes of college basketball experience, but No. 15 Indiana could be particularly affected in a meeting with visiting Northwestern on Sunday at Bloomington. Indiana point guard Xavier Johnson has missed the last two games, including Thursday's 91-89 loss to Iowa, and doesn't appear to be returning any time soon due to a foot injury. Hoosiers forward Race Thompson injured his right leg Thursday and is expected to miss multiple games. Indiana (10-4, 1-2 Big Ten) starts a stretch of three games in seven days against Northwestern (11-3, 2-1), which is coming off an impressive 73-60 victory at home over Illinois. The Wildcats will be the team that can lean into its experience. Their lineup features three seniors -- Chase Audige, Boo Buie and Robbie Beran -- who have combined for over 7,000 career minutes. |

01-05-23 | Purdue v. Ohio State -1.5 | 71-69 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 49 m | Show | |
Top-ranked Purdue enters uncharted territory when it plays No. 24 Ohio State on Thursday in Columbus, Ohio. The Boilermakers (13-1, 2-1 Big Ten) will be looking to rebound from their first loss of the season, a 65-64 setback against visiting Rutgers on Monday. "Worry about the next one. It's 10 weeks," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "You guys (the media) follow it, but you don't live it. You can get yourself on a roller coaster if you want. I'm not a big fan of roller coasters. "You've got to get back to what you do well. We've got to take better shots. We've got to get some perimeter guys that are consistent shooters. That would be a great start for us." While the Boilermakers stumbled in their latest outing, the Buckeyes (10-3, 2-0) should be full of confidence following a 73-57 win at Northwestern on Sunday. Ohio State limited the Wildcats, who missed 24 of their first 27 shots, to 19-of-67 shooting (28.4 percent) from the floor for the game. |

01-05-23 | Stony Brook -1.5 v. Monmouth | 67-56 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
Stony Brook has played slightly better on the road over their last several games, they beat Northeastern in their last road game, and they lost to Wager by just 3 on the road several weeks ago. Stony Brook's only recent double digit loss on the road was to a tough West Viriginia team that beat them by 11. |

01-05-23 | Maryland v. Rutgers -5.5 | 50-64 | Win | 100 | 14 h 52 m | Show | |
Giant-killer Rutgers is drawing attention again. Just over a year after the Scarlet Knights toppled No. 1 Purdue, they pulled off another stunning upset of the No. 1 Boilermakers on Monday, handing the Big Ten Conference foe their first loss for the second straight year. With a sellout crowd set to greet the conquering heroes Thursday in Piscataway, N.J., Rutgers (10-4, 2-1 Big Ten) tries to continue its roll against visiting Maryland (10-4, 1-2). The Scarlet Knights enter on a high following their 65-64 win at Purdue. Paul Mulcahy scored 16 points with eight rebounds, six assists, four steals, and zero turnovers. He scored nine of his points in the final six minutes. The Scarlet Knights' Cam Spencer added 14 points and knocked down the game-winning 3-pointer with 14 seconds left. It was the fourth straight win for Rutgers, which has been led this season by 6-foot-11 Cliff Omoruyi, who averages 14.8 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks, all team highs. Omoruyi could present problems for Maryland, which has a small front court and has gotten inconsistent play from 6-9 forward Julian Reese, who has been slowed by a shoulder injury and foul problems. |

01-04-23 | Connecticut v. Providence +5 | Top | 61-73 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show |
Two of the elite teams in the Big East Conference meet Wednesday when fourth-ranked UConn goes on the road to play Providence. The Friars (12-3, 4-0 Big East) opened Big East play with four consecutive wins for the first time in the program's history by prevailing 74-59 over DePaul on Sunday in Chicago. Providence and Xavier (12-3, 4-0) are tied for first place and are the only unbeaten teams in the conference. Providence sophomore Devin Carter, a transfer from South Carolina, tied his career high by scoring 22 points against the Blue Demons. He also had five steals and four blocked shots. The Friars received 18 points from Jared Bynum, and 12 points and eight rebounds from Bryce Hopkins. Hopkins owns team-best averages of 15.7 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. |

The Bears rank 46th nationally -- and tops in the MVC -- in bench points per game (27.36). Missouri State's 55 bench points at Oral Roberts on Dec. 16 matched the most points ever by MSU's reserves (also done on 3/7/20 vs. Valpo) and set a club record for most bench points in a road game. MSU also ranks 6th nationally in bench minutes (43.2 pct.) per game with Bear reserves scoring at least 20 points in 11-of-14 games this season and combining for 30 points on 5 occasions.

The Aggies will have to contend with one of the nation’s top pressure defenses as the Lumberjacks rank sixth in the nation in turnovers forced and 24th in the country in steals per game. Additionally, while they don’t shoot the ball often (ranked 327th in three-point attempts per game), SFA does shoot the long ball efficiently (ranked 15th in the country in three-point percentage). |

01-04-23 | Tulsa v. Tulane -13 | 77-93 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
Tulsa has covered just one game all season long, so there's no reason to go against that trend and streak that has reached 10 straight games. Tulane isn't exactly going to give you a tremendous amount of confidence but I can't bet a team that has failed to cover 21 of their last 27 dating back to last season. |

01-02-23 | West Virginia +3 v. Oklahoma State | 60-67 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
No. 24 West Virginia and Oklahoma State are in the same boat going into Monday night's Big 12 Conference contest in Stillwater, Okla. Both teams built double-digit first-half leads on the road Saturday, but then both coughed up those leads with stretches of bad basketball. The Mountaineers led 17-3 at Kansas State but fell 82-76 in overtime, while the Cowboys surrendered a 15-point halftime advantage in a 69-67 defeat at No. 4 Kansas. Instead of enjoying a solid road win in West Virginia's case, or scoring a signature road win in Oklahoma State's case, both have little time to lick their wounds. |

01-02-23 | Rutgers v. Purdue -8.5 | 65-64 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
Last season, the Purdue Boilermakers were ranked No. 1 for the first time when they traveled to Rutgers, and a dramatic loss made their stay at the top of the poll a short one. The Boilermakers could be No. 1 for the fourth straight week and are hoping to avoid another loss to Rutgers when the teams get together Monday night in West Lafayette, Ind. Purdue (13-0, 2-0 Big Ten) was off to an 8-0 start when it was elevated to No. 1 in the Dec. 6, 2021 poll. On Dec. 9, the Scarlet Knights earned a 70-68 win in the raucous setting of Piscataway, N.J., when Ron Harper Jr. heaved in a halfcourt 3-pointer at the buzzer. This year, Harper is on a two-way contract with the Toronto Raptors and the Boilermakers are off to their first 13-0 start since opening 14-0 in 2009-10, which matched the 1993-94 school record for an unbeaten start. Purdue began this season unranked, climbed to fourth, and was elevated to the top spot after its 65-62 overtime win at Nebraska on Dec. 10. As a top-ranked team, Purdue is 3-0, having followed up an eight-point win over Davidson with blowouts over New Orleans and Florida A&M. |

Wyoming (5-8, 0-1) rallied from 18 points down at Fresno State on Wednesday before falling 58-53. The Cowboys held Fresno State to 1-of-23 shooting from the field in one stretch of the second half to rally back. "Hopefully, this is a game we can build off of by the way we played defensively in the second half," Wyoming coach Jeff Linder said. "You can't spot a team an 18-point lead. But that's when we had the sense of urgency to guard." Noah Reynolds gave the Cowboys their first lead of the second half, 51-49, on a layup with 3:11 left. He made another layup with 1:36 remaining that put Wyoming ahead, 53-51, but that ended the scoring for the Cowboys. Jemarl Baker hit a go-ahead 3-pointer off an offensive rebound with 1:01 left and the Bulldogs tacked on four free throws to cement the win. Reynolds leads the Cowboys with 14.8 points per game on 53.5 percent shooting from the field. |

There have been signs that No. 25 North Carolina is getting into a groove, and now after a more than a week layoff, the Tar Heels have another chance to show their improvement. North Carolina will begin the sizable portion of its Atlantic Coast Conference schedule by visiting Pittsburgh on Friday afternoon. "I feel like we're in a great situation and our group is definitely battle-tested," Tar Heels guard Caleb Love said. "It's good for us when our back is against the wall and how we fight back. Anything thrown at us, we're going to overcome it." North Carolina (9-4, 1-1 ACC) has won four games in a row. Pittsburgh (9-4, 2-0) will be playing its ACC home opener. The Tar Heels have displayed a more intense nature in recent games. |

Colorado and Stanford hope to display new-and-improved editions when they meet Thursday night in Palo Alto, Calif., in a renewal of the Pac-12 men's basketball schedule. Neither team recorded a win in conference play in two opportunities each earlier this month, with the Buffaloes (8-5, 0-2) falling at home to Arizona State and at Washington, while the Cardinal (5-7, 0-2) were beaten at home by UCLA and at Arizona State. Colorado has made the most of four home dates since its 73-63 loss at Washington on Dec. 4, beating Colorado State, North Alabama, Northern Colorado, and Southern Utah by a total of 71 points. The Buffaloes not only used the time away from Pac-12 play to improve emotionally but also physically, with forwards Luke O'Brien and Lawson Lovering now ready to return to action. |

Tulane will be counting on another strong performance from the team’s leading scorer Jaylen Forbes who is averaging 16.82 points per game for the Green Wave. Forbes is also important to the team’s ability to score on the perimeter. So far, he leads the team in 3-point shots made. Also key to the Green Wave’s offensive game plan is the play of Kevin Cross who has hit 51.3% of his field goal attempts on his way to averaging 14.18 points per game. On offense, Tulane comes into the game looking to control the pace of play, as they are just 392nd in possessions per game. Even with their preference to slow the game down, the Green Wave’s scoring at a rate similar to the NCAA average of 73.1 points per game.

It's likely going to take a lot more than a Christmas break to slow down Providence. The Friars have rattled off five straight wins and will find out if their momentum stuck around through the holiday hiatus when they travel to Indianapolis for a meeting with Butler on Thursday night. Providence (10-3, 2-0 Big East) made sure to keep itself off the naughty list, heading into Christmas on the heels of a thrilling 103-98 double-overtime victory against then-No. 24 Marquette on Dec. 20. Bryce Hopkins led the Friars with 29 points and 23 rebounds, both career highs. Devin Carter and Ed Croswell added 20 points apiece and Jared Bynum supplied 16 points and eight rebounds. Although the team will be back in action, classes still will be on hold for nearly three more weeks, meaning basketball becomes the sole focus -- something that the team is relishing. Despite all that, the number suggests a Bulldogs upset. |

12-28-22 | Arkansas v. LSU +4.5 | Top | 57-60 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
A pair of one-loss Southeastern Conference foes open the league season with a showdown on Wednesday night when No. 9 Arkansas battles LSU at Baton Rouge, La. The Razorbacks (11-1) have won seven straight games and are playing their first true road game of the season. LSU (11-1) owns a six-game winning streak and is 8-0 at home. Arkansas was predicted to bring a lofty record into SEC play after reaching the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament in each of the past two seasons. LSU's early season success wasn't a guarantee with former Murray State coach Matt McMahon taking over after the end of the controversial Will Wade tenure. But McMahon's rebuilding process received a boost when two of his key Murray State players elected to follow him -- big man KJ Williams and guard Justice Hill. |

12-28-22 | Kentucky -3 v. Missouri | Top | 75-89 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 21 m | Show |
Kentucky coach John Calipari is bringing a lengthy to-do list as the No. 19 Wildcats begin Southeastern Conference play at Missouri on Wednesday night. The Wildcats (8-3) have lost to Michigan State, Gonzaga, and UCLA. They most recently defeated Florida A&M 88-68 last Wednesday, but they led by just seven points with 5:35 left and Calipari was vexed by his team's defense. "We've got work to do now. We do," Calipari said after the game. "We didn't defend today like we've been defending. It's crazy. I mean, the one thing that we could rely on is that we would really, really guard. Well, they beat us on the bounce, they beat us shooting threes, they beat us offensive rebounding." Now Kentucky must travel to Columbia, Mo., to face the tough Tigers (11-1, 0-0 SEC) as Missouri comes off a 93-71 neutral-court upset of then-No. 16 Illinois on Thursday. |

12-27-22 | Jacksonville v. Notre Dame -7.5 | Top | 43-59 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
Notre Dame will look to snap a three-game losing streak on Tuesday night when it hosts Jacksonville in its final nonconference game of the season at South Bend, Ind. Notre Dame (7-5) won its lone previous matchup against Jacksonville (7-3) in 2018. The Fighting Irish, who have dropped four of their past five overall, including falling into an 0-2 hole to start Atlantic Coast Conference play, need a win before jumping back into conference action with a difficult test on Friday against No. 14 Miami, which currently sits atop the ACC. Notre Dame appeared ready to correct its course last week before blowing an 11-point lead and losing 73-72 to Florida State on Wednesday. One of the Fighting Irish's strengths this season has been their 3-point shooting, averaging 8.9 made triples per game thanks in large part to Dane Goodwin (46.2 percent from deep), Cormac Ryan (45.6 percent) and Nate Laszewski (42.9 percent). |

They won the rebounding battle 37-34 despite being ranked 284th in the country in rebounds per game.

No. 7 Texas will seek to build on its three-game winning streak and remain perfect at home when it opposes surging Louisiana on Wednesday night in Austin, Texas. The Longhorns (9-1) held onto the seventh spot in the Associated Press rankings after winning their two most recent games, including 72-62 over Stanford in Dallas on Sunday as part of the Pac-12 Coast-to-Coast Challenge. Marcus Carr scored 17 points and Timmy Allen added 15 and had a key block in the final minute to help Texas hang on for the win. The Longhorns led by 16 points midway through the second half before Stanford roared back to within three with 6:27 remaining. A layup by Allen and two baskets by Carr, the last with 3:50 to play, pushed the Longhorns' advantage to eight points. Stanford never got closer than seven the rest of the way. Sir'Jabari Rice added 15 points for the Longhorns, who forced Stanford into a season-high 18 turnovers. Texas, which is 7-0 at home, has forced at least 17 turnovers in nine of its first 10 contests. Texas was playing its second game without coach Chris Beard, who was suspended indefinitely without pay on Dec. 12 after being arrested and charged with felony domestic assault. Associate head coach Rodney Terry served as acting head coach for the second straight contest for the Longhorns. |

Michigan and North Carolina are experienced enough to understand winter missteps are easier to forget with a little success in March. While neither college basketball powerhouse is ready to shed serious aspirations of playing into April 2023, this season is not going according to plan for either program just yet. But expectations could come into focus Wednesday night when the Wolverines and Tar Heels meet at Charlotte, N.C. The neutral-site game comes in the inaugural Jumpman Invitational. The winner of the game takes home a boost in the way of a non-conference victory. "When we get it clicking, just like last year, it's going to be scary," North Carolina guard Leaky Black. "When the games really matter, we'll show up." North Carolina (8-4) has won three in a row since a four-game losing streak knocked it out of the national rankings. |

Oklahoma is coming off an 87-66 victory over Central Arkansas where the Sooners shot 63.6 percent from the floor -- their best shooting performance in more than a decade.

No. 6 Tennessee plays at No. 9 Arizona in what will be an epic clash of styles on Saturday night in Tucson, Ariz. Tennessee (9-1), tough and physical, ranks first nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency, according to kenpom.com through Wednesday's games. Arizona (9-1), which loves to play fast, is first in adjusted offensive efficiency and leads the country in scoring (92.0 points per game) and shooting percentage (54.7). "It's going to be a fistfight," said Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd, whose program has won 24 consecutive games at McKale Center. "That's the way they play, and there's just no other way to describe it. If you think you're going to go in and win this game by being dainty and cute, you've got another thing coming. We're excited for the challenge, and it's a great program coming to McKale. I think Coach (Rick) Barnes is one of the best ever to do it, so it's an honor for us to compete against them." The Vols, who will be playing their first road game, are first nationally in 3-point percentage defense (20.2), second in field goal percentage defense (32.7), and third in scoring defense (51.4 ppg) through Wednesday's games. They beat then-No. 13 Maryland 56-53 in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Sunday, allowing only one two-point field goal in the first half. |

Texas A&M is looking to build momentum after its latest win. Memphis is hoping to bounce back after nearly pulling off an upset of a nationally ranked opponent. Saturday night will determine which team gets things to go its way as the Aggies hit the road for a nonconference battle against the Tigers. A&M (6-3) topped Oregon State 72-54 on Sunday behind an impressive defensive effort, particularly in the second half when it limited the Beavers to 24 points. It's the fourth time this season the Aggies have held a team to fewer than 60. "I think that when we're hooked up on defense, we're one of the best in the country," guard Dexter Dennis told 12thman.com. "We try to do that as much as we can, and the coach (Buzz Williams) gets all the credit. Coach has been doing a good job of making sure we're getting better every day, improving our weaknesses as a team and as individuals. All of the credit goes to coach." |

Davidson (7-3) hasn't played since a Dec. 7 victory against visiting Western Carolina. That halted a two-game skid that included a two-point overtime loss to Charlotte and a two-point setback at Delaware. "We made a major, major emphasis about what we can do about our (situational) defensive mentality," first-year Davidson coach Matt McKillop said. "When you do good things on the defensive end, it gives you confidence. It gives you energy." The Wildcats will need that defensive attentiveness in dealing with Purdue. Center Zach Edey of Purdue has been named the Big Ten Player of the Week for the past three weeks. He's averaging 22.0 points per game, despite a season-low 11 in last Saturday's overtime victory at Nebraska, to go with a nation's-best 13.7 rebounds per outing. |

No. 7 Texas experienced its first loss of the season last week, but that isn't the same sort of adversity the Longhorns will be facing Monday night when they host Rice in Austin, Texas. Longhorns players woke up Monday to the news that their head coach, Chris Beard, had been arrested in Austin and jailed on a charge of assault of a family or household member, with impeding "breath circulation" part of the charge. He was still in custody as of mid-morning as he awaited an appearance before a judge. Texas issued a brief statement. "The university is aware of the situation regarding Chris Beard. We are continuing to gather information and monitor the legal process," it read. The athletic department did not immediately announce whether Beard would be on the sidelines, but it is unlikely. Associate head coach Rodney Terry has 10 years of head-coaching experience at Fresno State (2011-18) and at UTEP (2018-21). The team will have to switch focus to Rice on Monday. |

As a senior at Edmond Memorial in Oklahoma, Sean Pedulla's college decision came down to the school 50 minutes from his home -- Oklahoma State -- or Virginia Tech. Pedulla opted for Tech and hasn't looked back. The sophomore leads the Hokies in scoring (17.0 points per game) and assists (3.8) heading into a game he has circled on his calendar: Virginia Tech (9-1) takes on Oklahoma State (6-3) in the Hall of Fame Invitational on Sunday in Brooklyn, N.Y. Coming off four straight home victories, the Hokies could move into the Top 25 with a victory. Pedulla has keyed the rise, taking over as the primary ball handler for a team that ranks No. 5 in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio. Tech is in fine form. After wins over Minnesota and North Carolina, the Hokies dominated Dayton 77-49 on Wednesday behind Grant Basile (23 points, 10 rebounds) and Pedulla (19 points). They won easily even though Justyn Mutts got into early foul trouble against Dayton (he led the Hokies with 27 points three nights earlier against UNC) and didn't take a shot from the floor in playing just 22 minutes against Dayton. Yet Tech didn't miss a beat as it handed the Flyers their worst defeat in seven years. Oklahoma State is coming off a quality win, 65-51, Tuesday at home over Sam Houston, a team that owns victories over major-conference foes Oklahoma and Utah. |

After rolling to an 8-1 start with a busy early schedule, No. 6 Kansas caught its breath and got back to basics while practicing for its rivalry game at Missouri on Saturday. "So there's no reason why we shouldn't be rested before we play Mizzou," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "And there are some things we need to definitely work on. So hopefully we'll be more equipped to play a little bit better when we go out there." Self-promised to work on team defense ahead of this game. "If you could get a team to promise to not set one ball screen, our defense would be a lot better," Self quipped after Kansas defeated Seton Hall 91-65 on Dec. 1. "So that would be all you'd have to do." He also noted his team's struggles in defensive transition during the first half against Seton Hall. That is notable because Missouri (9-0) has shifted to a fast-paced style that has produced 93 points per game, the most in Division I. Kansas is averaging 77.7 points per game led by forward Jalen Wilson (21.9 points per game) and Gradey Dick (15.3). Self believes the Jayhawks could be even more explosive offensively with better passing. |

12-10-22 | Denver v. UCLA -26 | 64-87 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 41 m | Show | |
No. 19 UCLA will be seeking its fifth straight victory when Denver visits Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon.

Clark is contributing 14.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, and Campbell is chipping in with 13.9 points and 4.9 assists. Jaquez and Campbell, both seniors, are averaging nearly 31 minutes -- something Cronin admitted could be a concern against tough opponents. |

Ball State has been mired in mediocrity for a while now, but there are some encouraging signs that indicate they could be trending upward. They enter this one at 5-4, but that record could easily be a lot better if not for a bunch of close losses. |

12-10-22 | Arkansas v. Oklahoma +4.5 | 88-78 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 31 m | Show | |
Despite adding a pair of wins to its ledger this week, No. 9 Arkansas suffered a harsh setback on Wednesday in the latter of its two non-conference home games. When coach Eric Musselman's squad returns to action Saturday afternoon against the Oklahoma Sooners in the Crimson and Cardinal Classic in Tulsa, Okla., it will do so without reserve big man Trevon Brazile. The 6-foot-10 Brazile, who poured in a career-high 23 points in Saturday's 99-58 blowout of San Jose State, tore his ACL in Wednesday's narrow 65-58 win over UNC Greensboro in a game that was close throughout. Averaging 11.8 points per game, leading the team in rebounds and blocked shots, and shooting 37.9 percent from behind the arc, the sophomore Brazile -- who transferred from Missouri -- will be lost for the remainder of the season. The Springfield, Mo., native had two double-doubles and topped the 20-point mark three times in his first season with Arkansas. That absence creates a big void in the paint for Musselman and the Razorbacks (8-1), who had to put together a second straight strong second half to beat visiting UNCG. |

12-09-22 | Fairleigh Dickinson v. Columbia +1.5 | 76-73 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
The Lions are 2-3 in their last five games and have managed to cover the spread three times in those contests. In their most recent loss to the Retrievers, Kenny Noland scored 15 points and Avery Brown scored 13 points, while the rest of the unit struggled on offense. De La Rosa has led the Lions in points and steals averages this season. The Lions are averaging 69 points on 41.5% shooting while giving up 71.3 points on 44.4% shooting. They are restricting their opponents to 36.2% shooting from the three-point line and 67.3% shooting from the charity stripe. They are struggling to grab rebounds on either side of the court, which has become a problem for the Lions this season. |

They'll have enough to stay within the number. |

12-08-22 | Michigan v. Minnesota +4.5 | 90-75 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 12 m | Show | |
The Minnesota Golden Gophers were overwhelmed by one of the nation's premier college centers in their Big Ten opener. They'll face another one in their second conference game when they host Michigan in Minneapolis on Thursday. Purdue's Zach Edey racked up 31 points and 22 rebounds in the Boilermakers' 89-70 victory on Sunday, handing the Golden Gophers (4-4, 0-1 Big Ten) their third consecutive loss. "I don't think there's a team in the country that has an answer for him," Minnesota coach Ben Johnson said. "The problem is he puts so much foul pressure on you. We didn't get off to a good start but they do such a good job of getting him the ball that it's just a matter of time." Minnesota was down 42-27 at halftime, though it showed some signs of life in the second half by scoring 43 points. "I thought it was a better offensive effort than the last couple of games," Johnson said. "The ball was moving more than it had." |

12-08-22 | Colorado State v. Colorado -4 | Top | 65-93 | Win | 100 | 2 h 1 m | Show |
Colorado will be counting on another strong performance from the team’s leading scorer KJ Simpson who is averaging 16.22 points per game for the Buffaloes. Simpson is also important to the team’s ability to score on the perimeter. So far, he leads the team in 3-point shots made. Also key to the Buffaloes’ offensive game plan is the play of Tristan Da Silva who has hit 48.3% of his field goal attempts on his way to averaging 12.0 points per game. Coming into today’s game, Colorado will be looking for some improved play from their offense. Currently, the Buffaloes are ranked 193rd at 71.2 points per game. A major reason for their low-scoring numbers is the fact that they tend to work the clock on offense. |

12-07-22 | Pittsburgh v. Vanderbilt -3 | 74-75 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 60 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt comes off a 65-62 home win over Wofford. Seven-foot forward Liam Robbins led the Commodores with 14 points and nine rebounds. After playing just 26 combined minutes in season-opening home losses to Memphis and Southern Miss, Robbins has averaged 24.2 minutes and 15.0 points a game. Forward Myles Stute (12.6 ppg) leads the Commodores in scoring as well as 3-point field goals (26) and percentage (50.9%). Guard Tyrin Lawrence (10.8 ppg), Vandy's third-leading scorer, tallied 13 in the Wofford win and chipped in with two huge field goals in the game's final minutes. The Panthers (73.6% from the foul line) could have a significant edge over Vanderbilt (61.7%) if the game comes down to free throws). The Commodores could also use some good health, especially for guard/forward Jordan Wright, Vandy's leading returning scorer from last year. |

12-07-22 | Arizona State v. SMU +5.5 | 75-57 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 56 m | Show | |
Arizona State looks to win its seventh consecutive game when it battles SMU in non-conference play on Wednesday night at Dallas. The Sun Devils (8-1, 2-0 Pac-12) are off to their best nine-game start since the 2018-19 season -- the last season they made the NCAA Tournament. They are fresh off opening conference play with wins over Colorado and Stanford by a total of five points -- 60-59 over the host Buffaloes on Thursday and 68-64 over the visiting Cardinal on Sunday. Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley said the team's depth is keeping players fresh, while forward Warren Washington points to Hurley's demanding tactics as a key component in the strong start. It appears like these are two teams going in opposite directions, but the end result will say otherwise. |
