December 18, 2017

Houston Baptist at Michigan St 6:00 PM ET

No. 2 Michigan State looks to extend its winning streak to 10 games when it begins a five-game homestand Monday against Houston Baptist in a non-conference contest. The Spartans pulled away from a feisty Oakland team for a neutral-court victory on Saturday, while the Huskies are coming off a home rout of Barclay on Friday.

Charleston Southern at Florida State 7:00 PM ET

For the first time this season, Florida State has to prove that it can rebound from a loss. The 19th-ranked Seminoles suffered a tough defeat their last time out and only have 48 hours to bounce back as they host Charleston Southern on Monday.

Wake Forest at Coastal Carolina 7:00 PM ET

Wake Forest aims for its sixth consecutive victory when it visits Coastal Carolina on Monday. The Demon Deacons have beaten the Chanticleers each of the last two seasons and hold a 4-1 advantage in the all-time series.

Charlotte at East Carolina 7:00 PM ET

Two teams that already have made coaching changes this season square off Monday, when East Carolina hosts Charlotte. The 49ers are playing their first game since coach Mark Price was fired following a four-game losing streak.

Northern Arizona at South Florida 7:00 PM ET

South Florida looks to win consecutive games for the second time this season when the Bulls host Northern Arizona on Monday night. USF has not won back-to-back games since knocking off Howard and Arkansas State on Nov. 22 and 24, respectively.

Northern Illinois at Marquette 7:00 PM ET

Marquette is off to a sensational start, having opened with seven wins in its first 10 games and an emphatic victory over rival Wisconsin in its first road game of the season. And things are about to get even better for the Golden Eagles, as they add towering center Harry Froling to the lineup in time for Monday's home meeting with Northern Illinois.

Nebraska Omaha at Kansas 7:00 PM ET

No. 12 Kansas recovered from two disappointing performances with an inspiring victory last time out and hopes to continue moving forward when it hosts road-weary Omaha on Monday night. The Jayhawks lost to Washington and Arizona State by a combined 19 points before coming off a six-day break to earn a 73-72 triumph at Nebraska with some late-game heroics.

IUPU - Ft. Wayne at Indiana 8:00 PM ET

Indiana looks to build on its first signature win of the Archie Miller era when it hosts Fort Wayne on Monday. The Hoosiers knocked off 18th-ranked Notre Dame 80-77 in overtime at the Crossroads Classic to move over .500, and they hope to win back-to-back games for the first time in three weeks by avenging a disappointing 71-68 setback to the Mastodons last season.

Nicholls State at Tulane 8:00 PM ET

Tulane returns from an eight-day layoff looking to keep its perfect home record intact when it hosts non-conference foe Nicholls on Monday. The Green Wave are coming off a loss to Florida State on Dec. 10, while the Colonels routed Culver-Stockton College at home on Saturday.

Indiana - Purdue at Gonzaga 9:00 PM ET

Gonzaga doesn't have to wait long to get the bad taste out of its mouth after a much closer-than-expected home win over North Dakota on Saturday. The 13th-ranked Bulldogs, who needed overtime to put away the 30-point underdog Fighting Hawks, host IUPUI on Monday night.

Boise St. at Southern Methodist 9:00 PM ET

Boise State plays just its second road game of the season in its final nonconference tuneup for Mountain West Conference play when it travels to SMU on Monday night. It will be tough for the Broncos to top their first one.

North Dakota State at Arizona 9:00 PM ET

Already boasting one of the top duos in the country in Allonzo Trier and Deandre Ayton, No. 23 Arizona now has a third scoring threat for opponents to consider. Sophomore swingman Rawle Alkins has made a seamless transition from injury back into the starting lineup for the Wildcats, who look to extend their winning streak to six games Monday against visiting North Dakota State.

Texas-Arlington at Creighton 9:00 PM ET

It might not have been a Big East opponent, but Creighton coach Greg McDermott was still impressed with his Bluejays' record-setting performance against Maryland-Eastern Shore during finals week. McDermott will look for another outstanding effort Monday when a solid UT Arlington team visits for another nonconference clash.

Texas Southern at Texas Christian 9:00 PM ET

TCU has not been to the NCAA Tournament since 1998 and, while that streak almost certainly will end this season, the team has much, much bigger plans. The 14th-ranked Horned Frogs look to break the school record with their 16th straight win Monday against visiting Texas Southern.

Tennessee St. at Texas 9:00 PM ET

Not much was made of the news when Tulane sophomore Dylan Osetkowski decided to transfer to Texas, but two years later and with the Longhorns coming off an 11-22 campaign, the 6-9 forward has proven to be the most indispensable player on the team. Having helped Texas to a 7-3 start, Osetkowski will be shooting for an eighth consecutive double-digit scoring outing Monday when Tennessee State visits in a nonconference matchup.
