Preview: Musketeers (11-0) at Demon Deacons (8-2)

Date: December 22, 2015 7:00 PM EDT

Xavier continues to answer every challenge thrown its way during a historic start, though the path is about to become more difficult.

The No. 6 Musketeers look to complete a perfect nonconference schedule as they begin a formidable three-game stretch Tuesday night against improving Wake Forest.

Xavier has achieved two program firsts in its 11-0 start and standing in the AP poll, surpassing a No. 7 ranking reached twice previously. The Musketeers are the highest of three current top 10 teams from the Big East, where they'll open play at No. 17 Villanova on Dec. 31 and host ninth-ranked Butler two days later.

They'll get one final prep for the conference slate in a Demon Deacons squad that's proven to be no pushover in coach Danny Manning's second season. Wake Forest (8-2) knocked off then-No. 13 Indiana and UCLA in last month's Maui Invitational and can record its first six-game winning streak since 2009-10.

The Deacons' resurgence has been led by an offense that's scored 80 or more points seven times and could be even more potent once Codi Miller-McIntyre is fully recovered from a broken foot. The senior guard, who led the team with 14.5 points and 4.3 assists per game last season, missed the first eight games before returning for the last two.

Miller-McIntyre contributed 10 points in 24 minutes to help combat leading scorer Devin Thomas' foul trouble during Friday's 83-77 win over 2015 NCAA Tournament participant Coastal Carolina, which moved Wake Forest to 6-0 in games decided by six or less.

Thomas, averaging 17.7 points and 10.7 rebounds, managed a season-low six points in 23 minutes. The senior forward shot 62.2 percent while averaging 20.5 points and 12.0 rebounds over a four-game stretch coming in.

The Demon Deacons haven't been as efficient on defense, allowing 78.8 points per game. Coastal Carolina shot 49.1 percent and scored 50 second-half points.

"We have to do a much better job in guarding," Manning said. "As talented as that Coastal Carolina team is, especially on the offensive end shooting the basketball, if we let our next opponent shoot that type of percentage we'll get beat by 100."

With five players averaging double figures and having recorded at least 85 points in five of their last six wins, the Musketeers can indeed be dangerous. They're also capable of slowing down high-scoring teams, as evidenced by Saturday's 85-61 rout of Auburn in which they held the Tigers 26 points below their season average.

"To hold a team that's averaging 87 points a game to 61, it's a good job," coach Chris Mack said. "Our defense is so much better, it's not even in the same stratosphere, and this team values that more than last year's team did."

Though leading scorer Trevon Bluiett is in a 5-for-19 slump over the last two games, the Musketeers dominated Auburn inside behind forwards Jalen Reynolds and James Farr. Reynolds had a season-high 18 points on 7-of-9 shooting in 21 minutes and Farr compiled 12 points and 11 rebounds in 20.

Xavier finished with a 42-26 advantage on the glass and is outrebounding foes by 13.4 per game.

This will be the fifth meeting of an eight-game agreement between the schools that began in 2009-10. The home team has won each of the first four, with Xavier losing in Winston-Salem in December 2010 and December 2013.

The series has been dubbed the Skip Prosser Classic, honoring the former coach of both schools who died of a heart attack at age 56 in 2007.

Preview: Blue Hens (5-4) at Wildcats (8-2)

Date: December 22, 2015 7:00 PM EDT

Villanova has been humbled by top-10 opponents twice in its last three games, but its contests against unranked foes have all been comfortable victories.

Tuesday night's visit from Delaware figures to fit the latter category for the 17th-ranked Wildcats considering the Blue Hens are still seeking their first-ever win against both Villanova and the Top 25 as a whole.

Villanova has won each of the previous 13 meetings, including last season's 78-47 victory. It was Delaware's 31st and most recent loss against the Top 25. The last 11 have been double-digit losses by an average of 23.5 points, while Villanova's eight victories this season against unranked opponents have come by an average of 23.6 points.

Five of those have been part of a 26-game home winning streak against unranked teams. It's also won 23 straight home games against nonconference foes.

But the Wildcats (8-2) are likely thinking more about their 86-75 loss at Virginia on Saturday, as well as a 78-55 defeat against Oklahoma on Dec. 7 in Hawaii.

"We played a better team today," coach Jay Wright said after the loss to the Cavaliers. "Their attention to detail, their execution is just on another level than ours right now."

The loss came despite shooting 49.1 percent against a traditionally great defensive team, but the Wildcats have struggled to defend the 3-pointer. In three games dating to the Oklahoma loss, they've allowed teams to shoot 50.9 percent from long range. Pile on Virginia's 31-19 rebounding advantage, and it didn't much matter how well Villanova shot.

"We have an inexperienced team," Wright told the school's official website. "We'll learn from this and we'll get better."

Individually, Kris Jenkins led the way against Virginia with a career-high 23 points, but the forward has been inconsistent offensively all season and is shooting 34.6 percent in his last three games.

That kind of production, however, will probably hold up against Delaware (5-4). The Blue Hens are coming off Saturday's 69-61 loss at Boston College after leading by three at halftime. The only reasons they were in the game at all were Kory Holden's performance and dominating the offensive glass. Holden had a career-high 35 points, while Delaware outrebounded the Eagles 42-34 and 13-2 on the offensive end.

But only Holden and Cazmon Hayes scored in the first half, and the Blue Hens had four players score for the entire game while totaling a season-low seven assists.

"You can't have two guys basically carry you," coach Monte Ross said. "We didn't have good enough play from other different guys that we needed to in a game like this. You expect in the second half other guys will contribute."

Holden has averaged 25 points in his last four games while the rest of the team has averaged 41.8 while shooting 35.7 percent.

"Kory was fantastic tonight, we've just got to get some more from our other guys," Ross told the school's official website. "It's very difficult to win on the road when you only score 61 points. We fought and battled and outrebounded them, so we were playing hard, we just weren't very efficient.

"We had a tough night but we have to pick ourselves up and get ready for Villanova."

Preview: Golden Grizzlies (7-3) at Spartans (12-0)

Date: December 22, 2015 7:00 PM EDT

Denzel Valentine's emergence as one of the nation's top players is a major reason why Michigan State holds the No. 1 ranking and is on the verge of making history.

Now the Spartans will figure out how good they are without him.

A minor arthroscopic knee procedure will keep the star senior on the sidelines for two to three weeks beginning Tuesday night, when Michigan State faces surprising Oakland at the Palace of Auburn Hills looking to start 13-0 for the first time ever.

Valentine is averaging team highs of 18.5 points and 8.3 rebounds while ranking among the national leaders with 7.1 assists per game. He's posted two triple-doubles, joining Magic Johnson, Charlie Bell and Draymond Green as the only Spartans to accomplish the feat.

Michigan State boasts victories over No. 2 Kansas, No. 10 Providence and No. 16 Louisville while matching the 2000-01 team for the best start in school history. Playing just as well without Valentine's contributions could be difficult, though.

Coach Tom Izzo said Valentine was hurt landing awkwardly following a layup attempt in practice Sunday, but that the injury is "very, very minor." Valentine is expected to miss three or four games, including a trip to Iowa on Dec. 29 to begin Big Ten play.

West Virginia transfer Eron Harris will take Valentine's spot in the starting lineup.

"He was crushed last night when we found out, but at the same time, we're just going to have to learn," Izzo said. "This will be a new challenge, a new chapter for us.

"We've talked about our depth. We've won games when he hasn't played well. This will become an opportunity for our other guys."

Michigan State's approach likely will be the same. It is one of the nation's most balanced teams, assisting on 78.8 percent of its field goals to lead the nation while ranking third in average rebound differential (plus-15.3) and fifth in defensive field-goal percentage (35.3).

Bryn Forbes has increased his scoring average from 8.5 last season to 12.7 and should see more shots with Valentine out. He finished with 12 points and sparked the Spartans by diving on the floor for a loose ball in Saturday's 78-58 win at Northeastern.

'He'd have been the last guy that's gotten on the floor the last year or so,' Izzo said. 'He's doing more things, and we needed someone to light a match.'

Kahlil Felder has been that player for Oakland (7-3), which is off to its best start since joining Division I in 1998. Felder finished with a career-high 38 points and nine assists in Saturday's impressive 97-83 victory at Washington.

It marked the second straight 30-point game for Felder, who ranks second in the nation with 25.9 points per contest. He's helped Oakland win four straight following an 86-82 loss at Georgia on Dec. 1.

The junior guard is far from one-dimensional, though. Felder leads the country in assists per game with 8.9 despite tying for second with an average of 18.1 field goals attempted.

'You can talk about what Felder did and he put us in the position (to beat Washington). We were tired and in foul trouble, so I just spread the floor and let him play one-on-one and he was unbelievable," coach Greg Kampe said. "We see that every day. We know how good he is."

Izzo does, too, but his squad held Felder to 13 points on 3-of-12 shooting in last season's 87-61 win. He's also wary of Texas transfer Martez Walker, who became eligible Saturday and scored 18 points in his Oakland debut.

"Oakland has turned into a very big game," Izzo said. "They went out and demolished Washington. Excellent offensive team."

Michigan State has won all 13 meetings since Oakland entered Division I.

Preview: Commodores (7-3) at Boilermakers (11-1)

Date: December 22, 2015 8:00 PM EDT

Vanderbilt hasn't been to Purdue since the 1929-30 season, but coach Kevin Stallings is very familiar with the place.

Stallings will return to face his alma mater Tuesday night when his Commodores look to defeat the No. 14 Boilermakers for the second straight season.

Stallings played at Purdue from 1979-82. The Boilermakers reached the Final Four in his first season under coach Lee Rose before Stallings played for the legendary Gene Keady in his last two years. The coach was with Illinois State when he returned to Mackey Arena in a 69-55 loss Dec. 8, 1998.

'I'm so old I don't remember when I played there,' Stallings said. 'I had a team play there when I was at Illinois State, so I've kind of been through that already.

"Coach Keady is gone. He's my emotional tie to Purdue University, so this is just another game for me. I didn't have a whole lot to do with that Final Four banner, truth be told.'

Stallings and Vanderbilt (7-3) are more concerned about duplicating its 81-71 win over Purdue on Dec. 14, 2014. Riley LaChance scored a career-high 26 points and Damian Jones added 15.

How Jones fares could be critical after the 7-footer - considered a possible first-round NBA draft pick - scored a season-high 21 points in Saturday's 80-56 rout of Wofford. Stallings challenged him to score more by telling the center to stop passing the ball.

It should be more difficult to operate down low for Jones since Purdue (11-1) has a pair of 7-footers in Isaac Haas and A.J. Hammons.

"It should be fun," said Jones, who needs 13 points to reach 1,000 for his career. "I like going against taller opponents."

The Commodores would normally also have two 7-footers, but Luke Kornet is out four to six weeks with an MCL tear in his left knee. Kornet leads the SEC with 2.8 blocks per game.

The Boilermakers are among the nation's leaders in average rebound margin at plus-12.4. Vanderbilt's average rebound margin in two games without Kornet is plus-1.5.

Purdue seeks to bounce back from its first loss, 74-68 to then-No. 17 Butler on Saturday. The Boilermakers shot a season-low 41.4 percent and committed 18 turnovers.

"We didn't take care of the ball tonight," guard Raphael Davis said. "We had 18 turnovers, I mean, that's a recipe for disaster there. Myself included, we forced the drive too much, just drove in the paint with nowhere to go. We started playing tight."

Freshman Caleb Swanigan had 25 points and 11 rebounds. He's the only Boilermakers starter who did not face the Commodores last season.

Davis led Purdue with 15 points and Haas chipped in 13 last year against Vanderbilt.

The Commodores are the SEC's second-best 3-point shooting team at 41.4 percent. Wade Baldwin IV is at 53.3 percent, Matthew Fisher-Davis at 48.9 and LaChance at 44.7.

Vanderbilt has lost three of five overall and 10 straight against Top 25 opponents.

"You know, we definitely have a chip on our shoulder going in there," Fisher-Davis said. "It's tough on the road but they had a lot of the same pieces they had last year. There's just a familiarity there with that. So, we'll go in and put up a fight."

Preview: Golden Flashes (7-2) at Mustangs (9-0)

Date: December 22, 2015 8:00 PM EDT

(AP) - Upon his return from a nine-game suspension, Larry Brown mostly just wanted his SMU players to know how proud he was of them for going undefeated without him even though they have no chance to play in the postseason because of NCAA penalties.

'And then I told them I didn't want to screw them up,' Brown said Monday, a day before the Hall of Fame coach returns to the bench against Kent State at the Las Vegas Classic.

The coach-in-waiting plan the Mustangs openly acknowledged when they hired Brown in 2012 got a little test run, and associate head coach Tim Jankovich has a spiffy stat line if the day comes when he replaces one of his mentors at the campus a few minutes north of downtown Dallas.

Meantime, the 75-year-old Brown is back - and was so ready for his return he visited the locker room minutes after watching the final game of his exile in his office with his son and daughter, both SMU students.

'I didn't realize 33 days went so slowly,' said Brown, who led the Mustangs to their first NCAA Tournament since 1993 last season. 'But it's over.'

Brown was suspended and SMU banned from postseason play after a September report when the NCAA ruled that a former men's basketball administrative assistant completed online course work for a student to meet eligibility requirements.

Under Jankovich, the Mustangs rose to No. 18 - where they were ranked for the second straight week Monday - with a schedule of mostly overmatched opponents.

Brown said he took advantage of the rare in-season chance to spend time with family, including his grandchildren, and was 'all over the place' when finding somewhere to watch the Mustangs. He watched other games as well.

Now last season's American Athletic Conference champions are closing in on league play with no chance to defend their league tournament title, although they are eligible to win another regular-season crown.

SMU also won't get to erase the memory of losing its first NCAA Tournament game in 22 years on a hotly debated goaltending call in the final seconds

As for the motivation of playing for a perfect season, Brown says forget it.

'When I read that, that kind of made me a little bit uneasy,' Brown said. 'We've got Kent State and that's the only thing we've got to focus on. I think Tim did a great job of making the kids realize we've got to go game by game and be prepared.'

And if the Mustangs lose a game, Brown believes his players won't lose their drive.

'Whether we win or lose, I've never focused on that,' Brown said. 'I don't think our kids will be distracted by that. The disappointment is over, because we wouldn't be playing at the level we're playing. And we've all accepted that. We're just trying to move on.'

Point guard Nic Moore leads SMU with 14.3 points per game and Texas Tech transfer Jordan Tolbert is averaging 13.8 points and 11.0 rebounds.

The Mustangs also should get a boost from the return of Keith Frazier, who was involved in the NCAA case, from a knee injury. Forward Markus Kennedy could miss a few more games with an ankle injury.

'I can't imagine them handling it any better,' athletic director Rick Hart said. 'I think what you see on the court is kind of what we're experiencing off the court, which is a lot of energy, a lot of teamwork.'

And Hart got to work more closely with Jankovich after he inherited the arrangement and was admittedly skeptical before seeing how it would work. Hart was hired about three months after Brown took the job and brought the former Illinois State coach with him.

Since then, Brown has sounded less certain about a time frame for handing the job over to Jankovich for good.

'He's been very vocal about the fact that he's enjoyed SMU and Dallas,' Hart said of Brown. 'He's healthy. He feels good. He's effective. And so right now it continues to be just really a great partnership between coach and coach.'

Kent State (7-2) is off to a solid start in Rob Senderoff's fifth year on the sidelines. The Golden Flashes have the Mid-American's second-best rebounding margin (plus-7.1) and are outscoring opponents by an average of 35.6-24.9 in the paint.

Jimmy Hall leads the way with 15.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, while Kellon Thomas (13.8 points) and Xavier Pollard (12.1) also average in double figures.

Colorado and Penn State play in the other semifinal with the winners facing off for the championship Wednesday and the losers playing a consolation game.

Preview: Thunderbirds (3-7) at Bulldogs (9-1)

Date: December 22, 2015 8:30 PM EDT

Despite being a four-year starter, Roosevelt Jones feels the need to play with a chip on his shoulder to get the national credit he thinks he deserves.

Jones' teammates certainly realize how much he contributes.

Ninth-ranked Butler looks to continue rolling when it hosts Southern Utah on Tuesday night.

Jones is putting up the best numbers of his career, averaging 13.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists while shooting 50.0 percent from the field, helping Butler (9-1) become one of three Big East teams ranked in the top 10.

He scored 19 points and added 11 rebounds in Saturday's 74-68 victory over then-No. 9 Purdue, helping the Bulldogs hold on after nearly blowing a 16-point lead over the final six minutes.

It marked the first time since 2012 that Jones, named the conference's player of the week, has posted two straight double-doubles. He finished with 21 points and 10 assists in a win over Tennessee on Dec. 12.

'People always doubt my game, so I try to come out and play hard every game just to prove that I can play with anybody in the country,' Jones said.

Butler is proving it can do the same. It has two wins over teams currently ranked in the Top 25 and its only loss is to now-No. 13 Miami. The Bulldogs are second in the nation with 89.9 points per game, and Kellen Dunham ranks second in the Big East with an average of 17.4 despite having only two points and missing all 12 field-goal attempts against the Boilermakers.

Dunham also struggled against Tennessee, going 3 of 13 from the field and finishing with 12 points.

Others have stepped up, though. Tyler Lewis matched his career high with 17 points - including two clutch free throws with 20.9 seconds left - and Andrew Chrabascz added 16 against Purdue.

"Players win games. I truly believe that," coach Chris Holtmann said. "That's as gritty and tough as we've been this year. And we had to be that way to beat a really talented and well-coached team."

The Bulldogs have won six straight since that loss to the Hurricanes, and there's little reason to believe that run will end against Southern Utah. The Thunderbirds (3-7) have beaten only one Division I squad - Utah Valley State - and is coming off an 82-68 loss at IUPUI on Saturday.

They trailed by 20 at halftime, but coach Nick Robinson was pleased with his team's effort after it outscored the Jaguars 42-36 in the second half.

"Our team played hard," Robinson told the team's official website. "The effort was there, we won the second half, but the goal to give ourselves the best opportunity to win was thwarted by some minor mistakes in the first half, which we'll learn from."

Travon Langston finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while James McGee added 18 points and Trey Kennedy 14. They are the team's top scorers with McGee averaging 12.8 points, Langston 12.6 and Kennedy 11.8.

The Thunderbirds have allowed their last two opponents to shoot a combined 59.1 percent, including 20 of 37 from 3-point range.

Butler has won 26 straight nonconference home games since losing in overtime to Pittsburgh on March 21, 2012.

Preview: Gamecocks (10-0) at Red Storm (7-5)

Date: December 22, 2015 9:00 PM EDT

In his fourth season as South Carolina coach, Frank Martin has the program off to its best start in 82 years. St. John's is struggling to find some consistency under first-year coach Chris Mullin.

Back in the AP rankings for the first time since March 2004, the No. 25 Gamecocks take on the Red Storm at the Hall of Fame Shootout in Uncasville, Connecticut, on Tuesday night.

South Carolina went 45-54 in its first three seasons under Martin and hasn't reached the postseason since playing in the NIT in 2009. The Gamecocks' last NCAA Tournament appearance was in 2004.

Those droughts seem to be on their way to ending with South Carolina looking to move to 11-0 for the first time since 1933-34.

'We've got to stay in the moment,' Martin said after Friday's 65-59 win at in-state rival Clemson.

Senior forward Michael Carrera scored 14 points and freshman guard PJ Dozier had 13 for South Carolina, which led 38-18 in the first half before being outscored 34-24 in the final 20 minutes.

'If we had to go up to St. John's after having a 20-point lead and losing, it deflates you a little bit,' Martin said. 'It would've been harder to go up in Connecticut ... and be ready to go.'

St. John's (7-5) entered its game Friday on a three-game winning streak following an 84-72 victory over Syracuse at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 13. The Red Storm, though, lost 73-51 to a visiting Incarnate Word team that's in its third year in Division I.

They had a quick turnaround and hosted NJIT on Sunday. The Highlanders, who joined Division I in 2006, went on a 15-0 run in the second half and held on for an 83-74 win.

'Our routine is to look at the (last) game, put it behind us and try to perform better the next game,' Mullin said. 'Ideally, there's no carryover whether it's a good or bad game. I can't say I'm concerned about (the recent struggles), but I also can't forecast it either. What we can forecast is how we prepare each and every day.'

South Carolina, one of six remaining unbeaten teams, will be the third ranked opponent for St. John's. The Red Storm lost 92-55 to then-No. 19 Vanderbilt and 83-73 to then-No. 13 Indiana on back-to-back days in late November at the Maui Invitational.

St. John's has won all four meetings in this series, with the last coming at home Nov. 29, 2012.

'We just have to play with force consistently,' Red Storm swingman Ron Mvouika said. 'We've been having ups and down during the games and the teams we're playing are coming at us from the beginning to the end. At some point we just have to get out of that dark cloud and play more consistent from beginning to end.'

Carrera is one of five Gamecocks averaging double figures in scoring, while freshman guard Federico Mussini leads St. John's with 14.2 points per game. Mussini scored 20 on Sunday but went 6 for 18 from the field as the Red Storm shot 34.3 percent.

Preview: Colonials (10-1) at Blue Demons (5-6)

Date: December 22, 2015 9:00 PM EDT

George Washington is enjoying its early success and a deserving spot in the Top 25 while not growing too overconfident.

The No. 20. Colonials expect to maintain that focus Tuesday night against struggling DePaul in their first true road game in more than a month.

George Washington (10-1) entered the poll for the first time since the end of the 2005-06 season last week and moved up one spot this week following Saturday's 87-74 win over Saint Peter's. The Colonials are trying to open winners in 11 of 12 for the second time in three seasons.

'I mean (being ranked is) pretty awesome. I can't lie,' said 6-foot-10 Kevin Larsen, who recorded his third double-double of the season with 11 points and 11 rebounds Saturday.

'That's why we came here. It's just an enjoyable time. But we've still got a lot to do and we'll continue to work hard.'

Larsen is one of three seniors in a starting lineup that's paced by Wake Forest transfer Tyler Cavanaugh (16.3 points per game). The junior forward averaged 19.3 points in the last three games and went 13 of 17 from the field in the last two.

Cavanaugh scored 18 to lead four players in double figures as the Colonials shot a season-high 55.2 percent against the Peacocks. Averaging 78.5 points, George Washington has six players scoring at least 8.6 per contest.

'We don't care who scores 20 points or who doesn't,' said senior swingman Patricio Garino, who scored 16 on 8-of-12 shooting Saturday after going 6 of 22 for 15 points in the previous three contests.

The Colonials never trailed Saturday, but they weren't pleased with allowing Saint Peter's to shoot 57.1 percent after halftime and cutting a 23-point lead to 11 at one point.

'We got a little sluggish in the second half,' Larsen said. 'It happens, but we've got to be better than that. Be more mature.'

That's an approach George Washington expects to maintain in their second true road game. The Colonials held South Florida to 35.4 percent shooting in a 73-67 road win Nov. 19.

George Washington shot 57.1 percent in an 81-68 home win over the Blue Demons last season as Garino scored 19 while Larsen and fellow senior Joe McDonald each had 18.

DePaul (5-6) has averaged 58.0 points and shot 39.0 percent during a three-game losing streak. Though the Blue Demons held Northwestern to 39.1 percent from the field Saturday, they shot a season-low 34.8 and lost at home in overtime 78-70.

"Poor shot selection is a by-product of execution," said coach Dave Leitao, in his second stint at DePaul. "But a lack of execution has you playing against the shot clock and leads to not taking good shots."

Shooting 59.2 percent to rank second in the Big East, DePaul's Myke Henry (14.2 ppg) scored a season-high 24 despite going 7 of 16 from the field Saturday. He hit four of his five 3-point attempts en route to a 22-point game against George Washington last season.

The Blue Demons haven't played a ranked team this season but did snap a 49-game skid against Top 25 foes last season with a victory over No. 24 Seton Hall.

Preview: 49ers (6-7) at Wildcats (11-1)

Date: December 22, 2015 9:00 PM EDT

Arizona is showing off some impressive scoring depth during its longest winning streak of the season.

The eighth-ranked Wildcats also have the longest active home winning streak in the country, and that doesn't appear to be in much jeopardy of ending Tuesday night against Long Beach State.

Arizona (11-1) is outscoring opponents by an average of 21.7 points while winning six games in a row, and only twice over that stretch have the Wildcats had a repeat top scorer. Five players are averaging at least 9.5 points, with Allonzo Trier leading the way at 15.8.

"Everybody's contributing and I think that's something that's really hard to scout against," said forward Ryan Anderson, who is averaging 15.0 points and 9.2 rebounds during the winning streak. "You can't scout just one player."

Dusan Ristic was the latest to lead the team in scoring Saturday, finishing with a career-high 20 points as the starters totaled all but four points in an 82-70 win over UNLV.

The sophomore had totaled 22 points over the previous two games after averaging 6.1 over the first nine, a stretch that included criticism from coach Sean Miller about his positioning and fouling.

"I feel better," Ristic said. "When I show some good things and improvements, that gave me confidence."

The Wildcats should have plenty of confidence at the McKale Center, where they've won 46 straight games by an average of 22.4 points since losing to California on Feb. 10, 2013.

Arizona has won all five meetings with the 49ers (6-7) and they've all come at home, including a 91-57 rout Nov. 11, 2013.

Long Beach State - playing its third Pac-12 opponent on the road after losses at UCLA and Oregon - is 1-4 on the road, losing three straight while giving up 84.7 points per game on 50.8 percent shooting.

The 49ers are coming off a 94-73 loss Friday in Eugene to the Ducks. They allowed a season high in points with 54 coming in the second half, were outscored 44-26 overall in the paint and Oregon shot 51.6 percent.

"What's disappointing is that we wasted a great effort by one guy to keep us in there until we could get other guys into a flow," coach Dan Monson said of Travis Hammonds' 27 points. "We just put too much effort on our offense.

"To give up 52 points in the last 15 minutes is unacceptable."

Hammonds is trying to build on his career high in points after totaling 25 over the previous four games. He's averaging 12.2 on the road, while Nick Faust is adding 18.8 per game while hitting 47.9 percent from the field - 12 of 31 from beyond the arc.

Faust, a transfer from Maryland, hasn't been very sharp over the last two games. The senior guard has 24 points while making 8 of 23 attempted field goals, including 2 of 9 3-pointers.

Long Beach State has lost 14 straight to ranked opponents, including its last two defeats to Arizona. The 49ers' challenging non-conference schedule that features eight 2015 NCAA Tournament teams concludes Dec. 30 at No. 15 Duke.

Preview: Kangaroos (7-4) at Cardinals (9-1)

Date: December 22, 2015 9:00 PM EDT

Just days from a meeting with its biggest rival, Louisville lost one of its toughest and most vocal players.

The 16th-ranked Cardinals will begin play without center Mangok Mathiang when they host Missouri-Kansas City on Tuesday night in the first of back-to-back tuneups before Saturday's in-state tussle with No. 12 Kentucky.

Mathiang is expected to miss six to eight weeks after suffering a broken bone in his left foot during Saturday's 78-56 win over Western Kentucky. The 6-foot-10 junior, second on the team with 5.7 rebounds per game, underwent surgery Sunday to have a screw inserted into his foot.

"Not only is he the best physical player, defensively and offensively, but he talks the most," coach Rick Pitino said. "We can replace the physical stuff, it's the talking. ... One good thing is, we've got some depth."

While the Cardinals are sure to miss his on-court presence, Mathiang expects to contribute in other ways.

'I'm the vocal leader on this team,' he said. 'Whether I'm on the floor or not on the floor, I'm always going to be there and let my teammates hear me.'

Tuesday's game is part of the Billy Minardi Classic, named for Pitino's best friend and brother-in-law, who was killed during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York. The Cardinals, who have a 16-1 record in the annual event, will finish the back-to-back set Wednesday against Utah Valley.

Though Mathiang is out for the foreseeable future, Louisville (9-1) expects to return at least two players from injury this week. Freshman Deng Adel started the first two games before suffering a knee injury in practice Nov. 20, and guard Dillon Avare is also expected to return after missing seven games with a foot injury. Seven-footer Anas Mahmoud has sat out the last two games with an ankle sprain.

Greatly due to their second-ranked defense (55.6 points per game) and a light schedule so far, the Cardinals lead the nation in scoring margin at 30.4 points per game. They rank 12th in scoring (86.0) and sixth in field-goal percentage (51.8) with eight games over the 50-percent mark, matching their total from all of last season.

Quentin Snider had 16 points Saturday when the Cardinals held the Hilltoppers to 16 points in the first half.

'When a team shoots 33 percent and only has three offensive rebounds, and no 3s, you're doing everything correct,' Pitino said.

It was only the second time this season that Damion Lee didn't lead Louisville in scoring. The fifth-year guard had 15 as he shot a season-worst 4 for 12, but Lee still ranks fourth in the ACC with 18.3 points per game.

Snider is averaging 12.5 points and 6.0 assists during Louisville's four-game winning streak after having season lows of four points and one assist in the Dec. 2 loss to current-No. 1 Michigan State.

UMKC (7-4) is coming off back-to-back wins over Mississippi State and Division II Rockhurst. The Kangaroos are led by third-year coach Kareem Richardson, a former assistant to Pitino at Louisville.

Junior Martez Harrison, the reigning Western Athletic Conference player of the year, ranks third in the WAC this season with 16.0 points per game. UMKC is 1-3 when he fails to reach that average.

Louisville easily won the previous two games against UMKC, including 99-47 in December 2012 and 90-62 the following December. The Cardinals are 8-1 against current WAC members.

The Kangaroos have lost their last nine games against ranked teams by an average of 37.6 points.

Preview: Golden Bears (9-2) at Cavaliers (9-1)

Date: December 22, 2015 9:00 PM EDT

Virginia has worked through the toughest portion of its nonconference schedule without too many problems thus far, which might come as a bit of a surprise given the uncharacteristic number of turnovers it's committed.

It doesn't get a whole lot easier with California visiting Tuesday night, and both schools are hoping to build on significant winning streaks with conference play approaching.

The fifth-ranked Cavaliers (9-1) beat then-No. 12 Villanova 86-75 at home Saturday with 12 turnovers, which came 11 days after committing 19 in a 70-54 win over then-No. 14 West Virginia in New York.

The 15.5 average is more than double the 7.4 they were committing entering the West Virginia game. They've countered it with two of their best shooting performances, making a combined 59.6 percent.

"We hit our shots. We shot the 3-ball well and made our free throws," coach Tony Bennett said after the win over the Wildcats, his team's eighth straight since a loss at George Washington on Nov. 16.

"We broke their pressure a couple of times and got some easy baskets. Guys just played well offensively. They had us rattled. We had 12 turnovers, but I thought in the second half we got into the paint and made the extra pass. Those were all big shots. Eight of 12 from 3 is obviously significant."

Anthony Gill has averaged 21.0 points and 9.5 rebounds while going 17 of 20 in the last two wins, which has gotten the attention of top scorer Malcolm Brogdon.

"I think he has stepped up, maybe three or four games ago I saw a complete difference," Brogdon said. "He is super aggressive offensively, and he is attacking the glass. He is really good on defense, and I think he is doing exactly what the team needs him to do. I think he has been phenomenal."

Darius Thompson has also stepped up and is plenty familiar with Cal coach Cuonzo Martin. The two were at Tennessee together in 2013-14 before Martin took the Cal job and the guard left for Virginia. Thompson has started the last four games and averaged 11.3 points while shooting 62.1 percent.

"I am very excited for it and I can't wait to play him," Thompson said. "I haven't talked to him in a while so it's going to be nice getting to see and talk to him before and after the game. But, it will be just another game going into it."

The Golden Bears (9-2) are coming off an 84-51 home win over Coppin State and limited the Eagles to 23.8 percent shooting for their fifth straight win.

"There's not really a game plan, but to just defend," Martin said. "To guard your guy and put pressure on the ball. They were shooting a lot of 3s and they made some tonight. Again, contesting the 3-point line and to contain was our goal. Contest, contain and keep your guy in front of you, and I thought we did a solid job."

Cal is among the national leaders in defensive field-goal percentage (37.7).

Ivan Rabb and Jordan Mathews each scored 13 points. Rabb, the 6-foot-11 freshman, has shot 71.4 percent in his last four games.

"We played with tremendous energy and played together," Rabb said. "We just wanted to build on that."

The Golden Bears have yet to face a ranked opponent this season, and they've lost their last seven games against the top five away from Berkeley since beating then-No. 4 UCLA in the 2007 Pac-10 tournament.

Virginia has won its last 31 home games against unranked opponents while holding them to 48.8 points per game.

Preview: Sooners (8-0) at Cougars (7-2)

Date: December 22, 2015 11:00 PM EDT

Oklahoma's trip to Hawaii earlier this month was a most enjoyable experience, though that can be said about every game it's played this season.

The No. 3 Sooners put their unblemished record on the line at the Diamond Head Classic, where they'll take on Washington State in Tuesday night's opening round.

Oklahoma's previous visit to Honolulu resulted in the most impressive of its eight consecutive wins to start the season, a 78-55 rout of then-No. 9 Villanova in the Pearl Harbor Classic on Dec. 7. The Sooners dominated on both ends, hitting 14 of 26 from 3-point range and limiting the Wildcats to a 4-of-32 performance from beyond the arc.

That's usually been the blueprint behind Oklahoma's best start since the Blake Griffin-led 2008-09 squad won its first 12 games. The Sooners rank second nationally with a 47.7 percent success rate on 3-pointers and are second as well in field goal percentage defense (34.3).

Oklahoma's last seven wins have come by double digits, though it was tested by Creighton before pulling away for an 87-74 decision Saturday. The Sooners led 71-68 with under five minutes left before Buddy Hield scored nine of his career-high 33 points in succession.

"It was a little stressful, but it was good for us," center Ryan Spangler said. "We've got to figure out ways to win games like that. We're going to be in a lot of them this year coming up."

The Sooners will be heavily favored in a tournament field that includes no other ranked teams, though Northern Iowa owns victories over two current top 11 programs in North Carolina and Iowa State. They'll face the Panthers or tournament host Hawaii on Wednesday.

Washington State (7-2) has been sound defensively as well during its best start since going 8-1 in 2010-11, a season that included a runner-up finish in the Diamond Head Classic. The Cougars are tied for second in Division I with 7.0 blocks per game and have held opponents to 40.6 percent shooting.

The Cougars have shot 53 percent or better in four straight and enter the event off back-to-back wins, though they struggled at times in Friday's 78-73 overtime triumph over Texas State in their first outing back from exams.

"I don't think we were as sharp as we had been in earlier games, and a lot of that has to do with six new guys never going through the academics at this level and what that means," coach Ernie Kent said. "I've always said with freshmen and with JC players, that first semester is the toughest."

Opponents have shot 26.5 percent from 3 during the Cougars' win streak, but they'll be challenged with Oklahoma's trio of Hield (23.5 points per game), Isaiah Cousins (13.8) and Jordan Woodard (13.3) all shooting 50 percent or better.

The Sooners' defense draws a tough matchup in center Josh Hawkinson, who's shooting 61.5 percent and notched a fourth straight double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds against Texas State.

Washington State seeks its first win over a ranked team since a 73-61 victory over No. 23 UCLA on March 6, 2013. The Cougars have dropped eight straight and 16 of 17 to Top 25 teams, most recently 69-60 to then-No. 13 Gonzaga on Dec. 2.

Oklahoma won the lone previous meeting between the schools, 74-59 in the 76 Classic in Anaheim, California in November 2011.

Preview: Jayhawks (9-1) at Aztecs (7-5)

Date: December 22, 2015 11:00 PM EDT

Though San Diego State has struggled at times, Kansas has good reason to believe a daunting test awaits in its first true road game.

With a January 2014 home defeat to the Aztecs still resonating within the program, the second-ranked Jayhawks try for a ninth consecutive victory in the rematch Tuesday night.

"I could be wrong, but (San Diego State) said this is the hottest ticket that their basketball program has ever had during the regular season," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "It's been sold out forever. It'll be a rowdy atmosphere ... I'm excited."

Self never felt his team's 61-57 loss to then-No. 21 San Diego State almost two years ago was an upset, even though the Jayhawks were ranked 16th. It's the last time Kansas (9-1) lost at home to an opponent outside the Big 12, and only its third defeat in 89 nonconference games at Allen Fieldhouse.

"That game will definitely be on some of our minds," Kansas senior forward Perry Ellis said. "We are going to do the best we can in practice and go out to San Diego and compete at a high level."

Ellis scored four points and teammate Wayne Seldon had six as SDSU held the Jayhawks to a season-low 29.8 percent shooting.

Seldon is averaging a team-high 16.0 points with Ellis right behind at 14.7 entering this matchup. The Jayhawks have averaged 89.5 points and 54.6 percent shooting since making 34.8 percent in a 79-73 loss to then-No. 13 Michigan State on Nov. 17.

However, they're only cautiously confident even though SDSU is 7-5.

The Aztecs again rank among the top defensive teams in the country, allowing 53.7 points and 32.9 percent shooting while going 5-2 at home. It's a natural concern for Self, especially in that environment.

"We need to play a true road game," said Self, whose squad has played in Chicago, Maui and nearby Kansas City. "We need to learn how to do that on the road."

The 31-win SDSU team that won in Lawrence averaged 75.8 points and shot 45.6 percent to go 11-1 in nonconference play. The Aztecs have since averaged 64.6 and 41.2 while going 17-8 outside the Mountain West Conference in the regular season.

That would not seem to bode well against the Jayhawks, who held their last six opponents to 60.8 points and 38.1 percent shooting. Montana shot 24.4 percent in Saturday's 88-46 loss at Allen Fieldhouse.

SDSU might have bottomed out Friday, shooting 31.5 percent in a 52-45 home defeat to Grand Canyon.

"If we go into Kansas like we did (Friday) we'll lose by 50," freshman guard Jeremy Hemsley said. "Unless we want to win the game and make the tournament, we have to change something. We have to change our effort and we have to be better as a group."

Hemsley is the only Aztec averaging in double figures at 13.4 points per game, while senior Winston Shepard is at 8.8 - 2.3 lower than his team-leading average from 2014-15.

Aztecs coach Steve Fisher's team is looking to avoid losing back-to-back home nonconference games for the first time since December 2004.

"We have to boar back, say we're good, and prove that we're good," Fisher said. "We have to prove we are who we say we are. We aren't showing that right now."

The Aztecs lost by five at then-No. 16 Utah on Nov. 16, then beat No. 14 California 72-58 in Las Vegas 10 days later.
