No. 10 Miami (Fla.) doesn't have time to dwell on an embarrassing 96-71 loss at North Carolina on Saturday as it hosts No. 8 Virginia on Monday night. The Hurricanes trailed by as many as 38 points against the Tar Heels and now face another tough test against the well-rested Cavaliers, who haven't played in seven days and have won eight of their past nine games.

The Big 12 is proving to be the strongest conference in college basketball this season, and Texas is feeling the pressure of a brutal schedule. The Longhorns will try to bounce back from a stretch of three losses in four games when they visit Kansas State on Monday.

Iowa State senior center Jameel McKay has found a home in coach Steve Prohm's doghouse but McKay is said to be available to play when the No. 15 Cyclones visit No. 11 West Virginia in Monday's Big 12 clash. McKay suited up but didn't play in Saturday's win over TCU and Prohm declined to divulge the reasoning for why McKay was again being disciplined.
