Nothing takes away the sting of a rough stretch of basketball like a one-sided win - which is exactly how St. John's ended what was a trying week. The Red Storm look to build upon their 20-point triumph over Tulane as they kick off a two-game homestand Monday night against CSU Northridge.

Iowa looks to end a four-game losing skid when it hosts Stetson on Monday. The Hawkeyes have dropped five of their last six games, including a disappointing 98-89 setback to Omaha on Saturday, to fall to 3-5 for the first time in seven years; they hope to get back on track by beating an Atlantic Sun opponent for the fourth consecutive time since 2007-08.

The early-season portion of the schedule has not gone quite as planned for No. 24 Syracuse and Connecticut. However, the former Big East rivals have a chance to notch a quality win Monday when the teams unite at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Texas A&M hosts Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Monday after having a week to digest a 74-67 defeat to UCLA on Nov. 27, a result that looks even more impressive given the Bruins’ upset of top-ranked Kentucky on Saturday. The Aggies finished second to UCLA in the Wooden Legacy tournament, as freshman Robert Williams continues to bolster the frontcourt with a strong start to his college career.

No. 19 Iowa State, which hasn't lost three consecutive nonconference games since the 2009-10 season, will try to snap a two-game losing streak on Monday night when it hosts Omaha. The Cyclones' two losses have been by a combined three points to No. 11 Gonzaga (73-71) and in overtime on Thursday to visiting Cincinnati (55-54).
