Preview Roundups

December 18, 2018

Princeton at Duke 6:00 PM ET

Second-ranked Duke puts its 145-game home winning streak against non-conference opponents on the line when it hosts Princeton on Tuesday. The Blue Devils haven’t lost a non-conference game at home since 2000.

Florida A&M at Oregon 6:00 PM ET

Oregon is hoping for good news on star center Bol Bol, who is expected to miss his second straight game Tuesday when the Ducks face visiting Florida A&M. The 7-2 freshman sat on the bench for Saturday’s win over Boise State after injuring his left foot last week and will undergo further evaluation to determine how long he’ll be sidelined.

Appalachian St. at Georgetown 6:30 PM ET

Georgetown is headed in the wrong direction with Big East play just around the corner, and will try to get things turned around Tuesday against visiting Appalachian State. The Hoyas looked like a different team Saturday against SMU than the one that played Syracuse down to the wire one week prior but should still have enough to take down the Mountaineers.

Drexel at Connecticut 7:00 PM ET

Christian Vital told reporters after Connecticut's most recent win that "other guys" will be able to step up on the rare occasion star guard Jalen Adams is off his game. The junior guard "saved (the Huskies) with his toughness" according to first-year coach Dan Hurley in Saturday's slugfest victory, and two-thirds of UConn's explosive backcourt will attempt to return to their high-scoring ways Tuesday when they host Drexel.

South Florida at Florida International 7:00 PM ET

South Florida is ready to head down to Miami for its first true road game of the season after its scheduled visit to Charlotte 10 days ago was postponed due to a winter storm. The Bulls took care of business last time out despite the unexpected 14-day layoff, defeating Appalachian State 76-69, and now they look to extend their winning streak to four against a Florida International team off to its best 10-game start (8-2) in school history.

Albany at Providence 7:00 PM ET

Providence faces one final non-conference game at home before the schedule intensifies when they take on Albany on Tuesday. The Friars are 5-1 during a stretch in which their only road game was a quick trip to nearby Boston College earlier this month, and they bounced back from the lone loss of the span by routing Central Connecticut 87-63 on Sunday.

Binghamton at Notre Dame 7:00 PM ET

Notre Dame returns home from a three-game road trip to host Binghamton on Tuesday evening. The road trip did not begin well, with losses to Oklahoma and UCLA, but the Fighting Irish rebounded with a neutral-site win over Purdue in Indianapolis on Saturday at the Crossroads Classic.

Youngstown St. at Ohio St. 7:00 PM ET

After barely surviving a 73-71 scare from Bucknell, No. 14 Ohio State turns around and faces another mid-major program Tuesday night when in-state opponent Youngstown State visits Value City Arena. Ohio State hopes to use the game as a tuneup before its date with UCLA on Saturday at the United Center in Chicago.

Charleston Southern at Clemson 7:00 PM ET

Losers of three of four and playing without its star player, Clemson needed a win in the worst way and got one with a 74-66 win over Radford on Saturday. The Tigers will try to make it two in a row as they host Charleston Southern on Tuesday evening.

Xavier at Missouri 7:00 PM ET

Missouri aims for its fourth consecutive win - and one of its best of the season - when it hosts Xavier on Tuesday. The Musketeers have won five of their last six contests following an early three-game slide but are looking for their first victory on the road.

Oakland at Georgia 7:00 PM ET

Georgia put its potential and its problems on display in Saturday’s 76-74 defeat to No. 19 Arizona State and hosts Oakland on Tuesday looking to shake off blowing a 14-point halftime lead as foul trouble and turnovers doomed the Bulldogs down the stretch. It was a tough loss for the Bulldogs, who under first-year head coach Tom Crean led the game for more than 35 minutes but saw leading scorer Rayshaun Hammonds foul out with 4:41 to play.

East Carolina at Charlotte 7:30 PM ET

East Carolina looks for its third straight win when it returns to the court after a 15-day layoff to take on host Charlotte in a non-conference matchup Tuesday. The Pirates routed Maryland-Eastern Shore 70-47 on Dec. 2 prior to a break for finals, while the 49ers have lost three in a row and have been off since Dec. 6 as a Dec. 9 contest with South Florida was cancelled because of a winter storm.

Liberty at Alabama 8:00 PM ET

Alabama surrendered a 22-point, second-half lead to Georgia State on Dec. 4 and was on the verge of blowing a 19-point bulge to Arizona four days later. With the help of freshman sensation Kira Lewis Jr., the Crimson Tide held off the Wildcats and hope to put a full 40 minutes together after nine days off when they play Liberty in the Rocket City Classic at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Ala. on Tuesday.

Buffalo at Syracuse 8:00 PM ET

Ten games into the season, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim knows that shooting percentages don't lie. The Orange hope to enjoy a rare good shooting day Tuesday when they host No. 15 Buffalo in non-league action.

Mercer at Florida 8:00 PM ET

Florida is looking to bounce back from a disappointing 63-59 home loss to now eighth-ranked Michigan State. The Gators haven't lost back-to-back games all season and they hope to continue that trend against a struggling Mercer team that has lost four of its last five.

South Dakota at Kansas 8:00 PM ET

Kansas has made a habit of finding a way to pull out close games despite playing most of the season shorthanded, winning all five games decided by six points or fewer. The top-ranked Jayhawks will try to avoid flirting with danger once again Tuesday when they host South Dakota with an eye toward their first 10-0 start since 2010-11.

Stephen F. Austin at Baylor 8:30 PM ET

Baylor will try to continue its momentum when it hosts Stephen F. Austin on Tuesday to start a three-game homestand before Big 12 Conference play starts. The Bears are coming off a big win at Arizona, where their zone defense and excellent rebounding stifled the Wildcats.

Presbyterian at Butler 8:30 PM ET

Butler expended a lot of effort in its Crossroads Classic contest with Indiana on Saturday at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. After a 3-point heave at the bucket cost the Bulldogs a potential victory, coach LaVall Jordan hopes his troops have enough energy left to avoid looking past a Presbyterian team that hasn’t posted a winning season since joining Division I in the 2010-11 season.

Texas-Arlington at Gonzaga 9:00 PM ET

Ninth-ranked Gonzaga attempts to bounce back from consecutive setbacks when it hosts UT Arlington in Tuesday's non-conference matchup. The Bulldogs won their first nine games of the season before falling to Tennessee on Dec. 8 and North Carolina on Saturday.

Creighton at Oklahoma 9:00 PM ET

Oklahoma will look to make it six straight victories Tuesday night when it hosts Creighton. It will be a classic offense versus defense matchup as the Bluejays have yet to hit less than 43 percent of their field goals in a game and are shooting 51 percent on the season while the Sooners are holding opponents to 36.2 percent from the floor.

North Dakota at Marquette 9:00 PM ET

Marquette has not played since extending its winning streak to five by outlasting No. 17 Wisconsin 74-69 in overtime Dec. 8. North Dakota will look to become the first team to beat the No. 23 Golden Eagles on their new home court when the Fighting Hawks visit Fiserv Forum on Tuesday.

Western Carolina at Iowa 9:00 PM ET

Tyler Cook looks to lead 21st-ranked Iowa to its third consecutive win when the Hawkeyes host Western Carolina on Tuesday. Cook has taken his game to another level as the junior forward has registered three double-doubles in his last four contests, including 17 points and 13 rebounds in the 77-54 rout of Northern Iowa in the Hy-Vee Classic on Saturday, and hopes to stay hot by guiding Iowa to its 16th straight non-conference home win.

Southern California at Santa Clara 10:00 PM ET

With three starters back from a 24-win team that finished second in the Pac-12 Conference combined with an elite recruiting class, USC was expected to make a strong run at an NCAA Tournament berth this season. But the Trojans, who visit Santa Clara on Tuesday night, have dropped three straight games, including a 81-70 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday.

San Jose St. at Stanford 10:00 PM ET

Stanford forward Oscar da Silva has struggled out of the gate this season, but coach Jerod Haase remains confident in the 6-9 sophomore. After scoring a season-high 16 points in last Saturday’s 78-62 win over Eastern Washington, da Silva looks to build on the performance Tuesday against visiting San Jose State.
