MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Bryn Forbes scored 20 points, making three 3-pointers in the second half to help top-ranked Michigan State stave off Minnesota for a 69-61 victory on Saturday in response to a loss at Iowa earlier in the week.

Matt Costello contributed 17 points and 15 rebounds, both career highs, for the Spartans (14-1, 1-1) four days after they fell 78-63 to the Hawkeyes in their Big Ten opener to make this No. 1 billing in The Associated Press' poll short-lived.

Freshman Deyonta Davis added 10 points and four rebounds, capably filling a void in the post created by star Denzel Valentine's knee injury.

Nate Mason led the Gophers (6-8, 0-2) with 16 points, Jordan Murphy had 14 points and nine rebounds and Kevin Dorsey scored 11 points.

No. 2 KANSAS 102, No. 23 BAYLOR 74

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Wayne Selden scored 24 points, Perry Ellis added 17 and No. 2 Kansas used a big run over the first 10 minutes to win their Big 12 opener.

Devonte Graham added 15 points and Frank Mason III had 11 for the Jayhawks (12-1, 1-0), who charged out to a 22-4 lead, then turned back every attempt by the Bears (10-3, 0-1) to make it a game.

It was the Jayhawks' sixth straight win over Baylor - which has never won in 14 trips to Lawrence - and 25th consecutive conference-opening win. It was also their 31st straight win at Allen Fieldhouse, where No. 3 Oklahoma will visit for another high-profile showdown Monday night.

Taurean Prince had 13 of his 17 points in the second half for Baylor. Lester Medford added 15, all but three after the break, while Rico Gathers finished with 12 points and nine rebounds.

No. 4 MARYLAND 72, NORTHWESTERN 59

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) - Melo Trimble scored 24 points, Rasheed Sulaimon added 16 points and Maryland beat Northwestern.

Trimble scored 17 points in the second half. Sulaimon had 13 in the first, helping the Terrapins (13-1, 2-0 Big Ten) grab a 40-20 lead on the way to their seventh straight victory.

They also gave coach Mark Turgeon his 100th victory in five seasons at Maryland and snapped a 10-game winning streak for Northwestern (13-2, 1-1).

Bryant McIntosh led the Wildcats with 17 points. Northwestern shot just 37.3 percent and was 2 of 20 on 3-pointers.

No. 5 VIRGINIA 77, NOTRE DAME 66

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Anthony Gill scored seven of his 14 first-half points during a 21-4 run and Virginia cruised to its 11th consecutive victory.

Malcolm Brogdon led the Cavaliers (12-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) with 24 points, Gill had 21 and Mike Tobey had his second straight big game off the bench with 15 points and six rebounds.

Demetrius Jackson led the Fighting Irish (9-4, 0-1) with 18 points. Steve Vasturia and Bonzie Colson each added 14.

The Cavaliers' 12th straight victory at home came as Virginia launched its bid to become the first team since Duke from 1997-2000 to win three consecutive outright ACC championships.

No. 6 XAVIER 88, No. 9 BUTLER 69

CINCINNATI (AP) - Remy Abell scored a career-high 21 points, and No. 6 Xavier recovered from its first loss of the season.

The Musketeers (13-1, 1-1 Big East) were coming off a 95-64 defeat at No. 16 Villanova on Thursday that ended the best start in school history. Xavier led most of the way Saturday, taking control with a 13-1 run in the second half.

Butler (11-3, 0-2) shook up its starting lineup after an 81-73 home loss to No. 12 Providence on Thursday, but the Bulldogs' high-scoring offense couldn't get much done against one of the league's best defenses.

Roosevelt Jones led Butler with 14 points.

It was the most points Butler has allowed this season, and the fewest it has scored.

James Farr added 13 points and eight rebounds for Xavier, which had five players in double figures and shot 56 percent from the field.

No. 7 NORTH CAROLINA 86, GEORGIA TECH 78

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Joel Berry II scored a career-high 19 points and hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 5:07 left for North Carolina.

Brice Johnson added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Tar Heels (13-2, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who had fits with the Yellow Jackets (10-4, 0-1) all game. Georgia Tech led by nine points in the first half, by three at halftime and by one with 6 minutes left before the Tar Heels finally pushed ahead for good.

Berry's 3 was part of a 9-0 burst, and he followed with a driving basket for a three-point play on the next possession.

Marcus Georges-Hunt matched his career high with 25 points for Georgia Tech. Adam Smith added 20 points with six 3-pointers for the Yellow Jackets, who haven't beaten North Carolina since January 2011 and haven't won in Chapel Hill since a year before that.

No. 10 KENTUCKY 83, MISSISSIPPI 61

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Tyler Ulis had 20 points and 10 assists to help Kentucky beat Mississippi in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

Ulis set the tone for the blowout, scoring seven of Kentucky's first nine points.

Kentucky (11-2) ended the Rebels' seven-game winning streak.

Jamal Murray made four of Kentucky's seven 3-pointers and had 18 points. Marcus Lee added 13.

Stefan Moody led the Rebels (10-3) with 23 points, scoring 15 in the second half. Sebastian Saiz followed with 12.

No. 12 PROVIDENCE 83, ST. JOHN'S 65

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Kris Dunn had 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists to lead Providence to its eighth straight win.

Dunn scored 12 straight points for the Friars in the second half after the Red Storm closed within 56-50 with 9:30 remaining. Providence led 43-31 at halftime and went up by as many as 17 points early in the second half before St. John's went on its run.

Dunn cooled off the Red Storm with consecutive 3-pointers that helped the Friars (14-1, 2-0 Big East) re-establish control.

Providence's Ben Bentil finished with 20 points and nine rebounds while Rodney Bullock had 13 points and eight rebounds.

Yankuba Sima had 14 points for St. John's (7-8, 0-2), which lost its fifth straight.

No. 13 MIAMI 64, SYRACUSE 51

CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) - Sheldon McClellan scored 22 points and Ja'Quan Newton made two big 3-pointers in the second half for Miami.

Newton finished with 14 points for Miami (12-1, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), which blew it open with a 12-0 run in the final minutes to win its seventh straight.

Miami shot only 35 percent, but held Syracuse to 32 percent. The Hurricanes missed their first 16 3-point attempts and finished 3 for 25 from beyond the arc.

Malachi Richardson scored 20 points for Syracuse (10-5, 0-2), which has dropped its first two games of league play for the first time since it started the 1998-99 Big East season 0-2.

IOWA 70, No. 14 PURDUE 63

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Jarrod Uthoff scored 25 points, Peter Jok had 11 points and nine rebounds and Iowa erased a 17-point halftime deficit to beat Purdue.

The Hawkeyes (11-3, 2-0 Big Ten) have won four straight and eight of nine, including two upsets of Top 15 teams this week. They beat No. 1 Michigan State on Tuesday night.

Kendall Stephens led Purdue (13-2, 1-1) with 12 points, and A.J. Hammons had 11. The Boilermakers had won 15 straight at home.

No. 16 VILLANOVA 85, CREIGHTON 71

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Josh Hart scored 25 points and Daniel Ochefu led Villanova's powerful inside game with 19 points in a victory over Creighton.

Hart made 10 of 14 shots and had five rebounds, three steals and a block for the Wildcats (12-2, 2-0 Big East). The 6-foot-11 Ochefu made all seven of his first-half shots and finished 9 for 10.

Maurice Watson Jr. scored 15 points to lead the Bluejays (10-5, 1-1). Isaiah Zierden added 14 points and Cole Huff had 12.

DALLAS (AP) - Nic Moore, Sterling Brown and Markus Kennedy each scored 13 points and No. 17 SMU beat South Florida 72-58 on Saturday night in head coach Larry Brown's first home game of the season.

SMU improved to 13-0 - the best start in school history - and 2-0 in the American Athletic Conference. Brown missed the Mustangs' first seven games at Moody Coliseum while serving a nine-game NCAA suspension. Associate head coach Tim Jankovich, a Division I head coach for nine seasons before joining Brown at SMU in 2012, coached the Mustangs in Brown's absence.

When the NCAA ruled in September that SMU was guilty of rules violations that included academic fraud and unethical conduct, it also barred the Mustangs from postseason play this season.

Jahmal McMurray led South Florida (3-12, 0-2) with 17 points.

No. 19 WEST VIRGINIA 87, KANSAS STATE 83, 2OT

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Jaysean Paige scored 18 of his 25 points after halftime and Tarik Phillip connected on a floater with 4.5 seconds left in the second overtime for West Virginia in the Big 12 opener for both teams.

Phillip finished with 14 points and five assists for the Mountaineers (12-1, 1-0) and Daxter Miles Jr. had 10 points.

Two free throws by D.J. Johnson with 22 seconds left in regulation sent the game to overtime where the teams traded scores but couldn't break the tie. The Mountaineers then used eight free throws and the big-time floater from Phillip late in the shot clock to seal the victory.

Barry Brown led Kansas State (1-3, 0-1) with 20 points.

No. 20 TEXAS A&M 92, ARKANSAS 69

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Senior guard Jalen Jones scored a career-high 28 points for Texas A&M in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

The Aggies (11-2, 1-0) capitalized on 15 Arkansas turnovers and turned them into 22 points. Senior guard Alex Caruso set the school career record for steals with 230, including two on Saturday. He entered the game tied with guard David Edwards (1991-94) with 228 steals.

Anthlon Bell led Arkansas (6-7, 0-1) with 16 points, while Moses Kingsley followed with 11. The Razorbacks led only once at 13-12 with 11 minutes left in the first half.

No. 22 CINCINNATI 76, TULSA 57

CINCINNATI (AP) - Farad Cobb had five 3-pointers and finished with 21 points as Cincinnati snapped a two-game losing streak.

The Bearcats (11-4, 1-1 American Athletic Conference) led by 24 points in first half lead.

The Golden Hurricane (8-6, 0-2) scored 2:02 into the game on a layup by Shaquille Harrison. They missed their next 12 shots over the next 10:49.

By the time James Woodard scored on a fast break layup with 7:09 left in the first half to end the drought Cincinnati had built a 30-11 lead. At one point during the scoring drought, Tulsa did not even attempt a field goal for over 4 minutes.

Harrison had 15 of his 21 points in the first half.

No. 24 SOUTH CAROLINA 86, MEMPHIS 76

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Sindarius Thornwell scored 18 points, Michael Carrera had 16 points and 11 rebounds and South Carolina outlasted physical Memphis to improve to 13-0 and continue its best start in 82 years.

The Gamecocks took the lead for good 63-61 with 8:51 left on Mindaugas Kacinas' two foul shots and steadily pulled away from the Tigers (9-4), who had five players foul out and finished with a season-high 41 fouls. The rough play wasn't enough to derail South Carolina, which is off to its best start since the 1933-34 club opened 17-0.

Ricky Tarrant Jr. had 20 points for Memphis.

Isaac Hamilton scored 27 points for UCLA (9-6, 0-2), which was coming off a double-overtime loss at Washington. UCLA's Bryce Alford, coming off a 30-point performance at Washington, was held to nine points.

Washington State shot 60 percent in the second half and 55 percent in the game, while holding the Bruins to 41 percent.

Big Monday Tip Sheet
January 3, 2016

Conference play is underway in men’s college basketball and the first Big Monday of action on ESPN heat things up right away with a pair of showdowns featuring three of the top teams in the nation. In Monday night’s opener, the No. 7 North Carolina Tar Heels will go on the road to face the Florida State Seminoles in an ACC tilt. The night cap is a huge matchup in the Big 12 between the No. 3 Oklahoma Sooners and the No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks for early bragging rights in that conference title race.

No. 7 North Carolina Tar Heels at Florida State Seminoles (7 p.m. ESPN)

Betting Point-spread: North Carolina -3 ½

Betting Matchup

North Carolina opened-up play in the ACC this season with back-to-back straight-up wins against Clemson and Georgia Tech, but it failed to cover in either contest as a double-digit favorite at home. This followed an 11-2 SU run in the nonconference portion of the schedule. The Tar Heels have gone just 5-8-2 against the spread this season and the total has gone OVER in 11 of the 15 games.

The Tar Heels continue to put-up points at a high rate even with Kennedy Meeks sidelined with a knee injury. Senior forward Brice Johnson is the team’s leading scorer with 15.3 points per game and he has also led the way in rebounds with an average of 9.7 a game. Senior guard Marcus Paige has averaged 15.5 PPG in his first two conference games and North Carolina as a team is averaging 87 points while shooting 50.1 percent from the field.

The Seminoles come into this matchup with a SU record of 10-3 following this past Saturday’s stunning 84-75 road loss to Clemson as 2 ½-point favorites in their ACC opener. They closed-out their nonconference schedule on Dec. 29 with a tight 73-71 victory against rival Florida as five-point road underdogs. Florida State is 6-6 ATS this season and the total has gone OVER in three of its last four games with a closing betting line.

The scoring duo of freshman guard’s Dwayne Bacon and Malik Beasley has been a force so far with a combined 34.4 PPG. Each player is averaging 17.2 points and pulling down at least five rebounds a game. Beasley scored a team-high 23 points in the loss to Clemson. Florida State is averaging 82 PPG on the year, but that average has dropped to just 71.8 points over its last four outings.

Betting Trends

The Tar Heels are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against a team with a SU winning record and they are 1-4-2 ATS in their last seven games played on Monday. The total has gone OVER in six of their last seven road games.

The Seminoles are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games following a SU loss and they are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 ACC games. The total has stayed UNDER in eight of their last 11 games at home.

North Carolina has won the last five meetings SU and it has a 4-1 edge ATS. The total has gone OVER in eight of the last 10 games between these two ACC foes.

No. 3 Oklahoma Sooners at No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks (9 p.m. ESPN)

Betting Point-spread: Kansas -5 ½

Betting Matchup

Oklahoma remained perfect on the year at 12-0 SU with a 87-83 victory against Iowa State this past Saturday in its Big 12 opener. The Sooners failed to cover in that game as 7 ½-point home favorites and they are now just 1-4 ATS in their last five outings. The total went OVER the 163-point line in Saturday’s win and it has gone OVER in five of their last six games.

The Sooners’ early run has been fueled by the stellar play of senior guard Buddy Hield. He is averaging a team-high 24.7 points while shooting a very efficient 49.5 percent from the field. Senior forward Ryan Spangler came-up big in the victory over the Cyclones with 20 points and 12 rebounds. He leads the team in rebounds this season with 10.2 a game. Oklahoma is averaging 87 points and 43.6 rebounds, which are both ranked sixth in the nation.

The Jayhawks’ lone setback against 12 SU wins was an early season 79-73 loss to Michigan State as 4 ½-point road favorites. They ran their current winning streak to 11 games with this past Saturday’s 102-74 rout over Baylor as 12-point home favorites in their Big 12 opener. Kansas has now covered in its last five games and the total has stayed UNDER in three of those contests.

The top scorer for the Jayhawks has been junior guard Wayne Selden Jr. with 15.5 PPG and he is connecting on an impressive 55.5 percent of his shots from the field. Senior forward Perry Ellis is a close second with 15.2 points and junior guard Frank Mason III rounds-out a very effective scoring trio with 13.1 PPG. Kansas is ranked third in the nation in scoring with 88.3 PPG and it is shooting 51.6 percent from the field.

Betting Trends

The Sooners have failed to cover in eight of their last nine Big 12 games, but they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight Monday games. The total has stayed UNDER in eight of their last 11 games on the road.

The Jayhawks are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 conference games, but they have covered in their last six games against a team with a SU winning record. The total has gone OVER in eight of their last 10 games played on a Monday.

Head-to-head in this Big 12 tilt, Kansas holds a 5-2 edge ATS in its last seven home games against Oklahoma and the total has gone OVER the last five meetings overall.

Preview: Tar Heels (14-2) at Seminoles (10-3)
Date: January 04, 2016 7:00 PM EDT

They may be one of the nation's top teams offensively, but North Carolina realizes it may not reach its long-term goals without making stops on the other end.

That could be a concern for a Tar Heels team that no doubt still remembers what a freshman guard from Florida State did to it in the last meeting.

Seventh-ranked UNC hopes to put together a complete performance en route to its seventh consecutive victory Monday night when it visits the Seminoles.

North Carolina ranks in the top 10 nationally with 86.5 points per game and in the top 15 with a 50.1 field-goal percentage after it shot better than 50 percent for the eighth time in nine games in Saturday's 86-78 home win over Georgia Tech.

Joel Barry II led the way with 19 points, while Brice Johnson added 15 and 11 rebounds. Johnson, averaging a team-high 15.3 points, had scored a season-low three on 1-of-8 shooting in an 80-69 home win over Clemson in the ACC opener on Wednesday.

The Tar Heels trailed by nine in the first half before outscoring Georgia Tech 47-36 over the final 20 minutes.

"We just decided to get some stops and win. That was the biggest thing," Johnson said. "We wanted to just stop, I mean we were scoring and doing what we needed to do. We just needed a couple of stops to get a win. And that's what we did."

After allowing 77.3 points per game during a three-game stretch, the Tar Heels (13-2, 2-0) have given up an average of 70 in their last four. They had some trouble with Florida State's Xavier Rathan-Mayes in the most recent meeting on Jan. 24, but Marcus Paige finished with 19 points and Johnson added 18 with 14 boards in a 78-74 home win.

Rathan-Mayes had a school freshman-record 35 points that tied for the fifth-best total by a freshman in ACC history.

Rathan-Mayes hasn't been nearly as prolific as a sophomore, averaging 11.0 points on 39.7 percent shooting. He finished with six while missing seven of nine shots in Saturday's 84-75 loss at Clemson that ended a six-game winning streak.

The Seminoles (10-3, 0-1) have two more freshmen playing starring roles this season in Malik Beasley and Dwayne Bacon - both averaging 17.2 points. Beasley scored 23 on Saturday and senior Devon Bookert had a season-high 21 with six 3-pointers.

Bacon will try to regroup after he had 10 points on 5-of-16 shooting against the Tigers to snap his school freshman record streak of four straight games with at least 20.

"I think at the start of the ACC season, hopefully (Saturday) will be a lesson for our guys to be a little more attentive and understand a little more of how you need to play at this level," coach Leonard Hamilton said.

Florida State has lost five in a row overall in this series and seven of the past eight home meetings. It also has dropped 16 of 19 versus ranked opponents dating to the start of the 2012-13 season.

North Carolina coach Roy Williams has already said forward Kennedy Meeks will miss his seventh straight contest due to a bone bruise on his left knee.

Preview: Mountainers (12-1) at Horned Frogs (8-5)
Date: January 04, 2016 7:00 PM EDT

After his team's double-overtime Big 12 opener, Bob Huggins insisted the conference doesn't have much of a noticeable drop off and nothing will come easily for West Virginia over the next few months.

TCU unsurprisingly hinted at contradicting that statement as it started conference play.

The 19th-ranked Mountaineers visit the Horned Frogs on Monday night with Huggins' team looking to remain perfect in the series, though that's hardly a noticeable accomplishment.

West Virginia (12-1) won 87-83 at Kansas State on Saturday, and its fifth straight win came despite going 3 of 20 from 3-point range while also struggling to force the Wildcats into the typical mistakes of the Mountaineers' press. Even with the additional 10 minutes, Kansas State limited itself to 15 turnovers, which is 6.4 below the season average of West Virginia opponents.

"There's just no bottom in this league," Huggins said. "That's what makes it so hard. With a lot of leagues, there's a bottom, but this has no bottom. And the coaching in this league is incredible."

Jaysean Paige scored a career-high 25 points off the bench, 20 of which came after halftime. The guard has averaged 19.7 points in his last three games after starting the season with 10.1 through 10 games.

"We wanted to try and lift him as much as we could lift him so he could get it at the rim," Huggins said. "He's our best athlete, and he's gotten better and better and better as the season's gone on."

The Mountaineers weren't their usual selves on the offensive glass, pulling down 15 in a season in which they rank second in the country with 17.8 per game and a top-five overall rebounding advantage of plus-12.7.

"We just didn't rebound it as well as we normally rebound it," Huggins told the school's official website. "We didn't do a lot of things as well as what we normally do."

TCU, meanwhile, hasn't had a rebounding advantage in any of its five losses, including Saturday's 69-48 embarrassment at Oklahoma State.

West Virginia has won all six meetings since both teams joined the league for the 2012-13 season. TCU has dropped 26 of its last 27 against the Top 25, while West Virginia has won its last 26 against unranked opponents by an average of 19.6 points.

Prior to the conference opener, TCU (8-5) had won four straight, but that competition - Prairie View A&M, Abilene Christian, Bradley and Delaware State - clearly didn't prepare it for the Big 12. The Horned Frogs shot 30 percent and made 1 of 17 from 3-point range.

"Oklahoma State is a great example of guys playing together as a team," coach Trent Johnson said. "We have to learn from that."

That was particularly true of the Horned Frogs' starting five, which combined for 20 points. Top scorer Vladimir Brodziansky (13.2) has been limited to 7.7 points and attempted just 18 shots in his last three games, while No. 2 scorer Malique Trent (9.3) is shooting 33.3 percent over the same span.

They've now won just seven of 59 games since joining the conference and could be well on their way to finishing last in the league for the third time in four seasons.

"We have a lot of work to do to figure it out," Johnson told the school's official website. "We aren't where we need to be in terms of mental or physical toughness versus good people. We need to get it corrected and find out how competitive we want to be in this league."

Preview: Cavaliers (12-1) at Hokies (9-5)
Date: January 04, 2016 9:00 PM EDT

Already a potent team, Virginia could prove even more of a handful if Mike Tobey keeps contributing on the scoresheet in ACC play.

The senior center will try to help the fifth-ranked Cavaliers add to their recent mastery of rival Virginia Tech on Monday night.

Virginia (12-1, 1-0) earned the first nine of its 11 consecutive wins with Tobey averaging just 5.1 points per game, and he had a combined six in the Cavaliers' four contests before a 71-58 victory over Oakland on Dec. 30.

He scored 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting in that game and 15 in Saturday's conference opener, a 77-66 win over Notre Dame.

"That's what we're going to need from (Tobey) throughout the season," forward Anthony Gill said. "He's a great player, has a soft touch around the basket and takes up a lot of space on defense. When his mind is right, he can be a really effective player for the team and help us get to the next level."

Malcolm Brogdon had a team-best 24 points and Gill scored 21 in the Cavaliers' ninth consecutive victory over the Irish. They have won seven in a row against Virginia Tech (9-5, 1-0) and five straight road games in the series.

Virginia will take on the Hokies for the fourth consecutive time as a ranked team. The Cavaliers were the No. 2 team in the country in each of last season's two matchups, beginning with a 50-47 win in Blacksburg on Jan. 25.

They finished that game on a 12-2 run to rally from a seven-point deficit with less than six minutes remaining. Four of their last five contests at Virginia Tech have been decided by four points or fewer.

"Anytime we go into Virginia Tech, it's always a close game. They always get up for us and it seems to be a good game no matter what," Gill said. "We just have to be ready from the beginning."

Virginia had a better handle on the Hokies on its home court Feb. 28, winning 69-57 en route to a second straight ACC regular-season title.

Virginia Tech will bring two new leading scorers into this matchup in transfers Seth Allen and Zach LeDay. Allen, averaging a team-best 14.6 points, had 23 in a 73-68 overtime win against North Carolina State in Saturday's conference opener.

"We're going to have to fight like that 18 more times. This was huge. We just kind of hung around and just kept fighting and just kept scrapping," coach Buzz Williams said.

Sophomore guard Jalen Hudson registered a season high by also scoring 23 points. Allen, who played two seasons at Maryland, has faced Virginia four times, and he scored 20 points in a 75-69 overtime upset of the fifth-ranked Cavaliers on March 9, 2014.

"I've been preaching to the younger guys, guys that haven't been in this league that whatever has happened in the regular season, you just let it go," Allen said. "You could have won some games. You could have lost some games. This is the ACC, and when conference play starts, it's a whole new season."

Brogdon missed 17 of 18 shots inside the 3-point arc in a three-game stretch before going 7 for 9 on Saturday.

Brogdon has a combined 20 points on 6-of-21 shooting in his two road starts against Virginia Tech compared with 37 points on 11-of-22 shooting in his two home starts. Tobey has totaled 10 points in his two starts against the Hokies, and has a combined six points in his last three overall matchups.

Preview: Sooners (12-0) at Jayhawks (12-1)
Date: January 04, 2016 9:00 PM EDT

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) There is a nice bit of symmetry to the fact that Kansas and Oklahoma could be meeting Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse as the top two teams in the country.

That's because they were also 1-2 the last time their league had such a matchup.

Of course, those were the days of the old Big Eight, before the Big 12 expanded to 12 - and then became 10. It happened in the conference tournament semifinals at Kansas City's Kemper Arena, when the top-ranked Sooners ran roughshod over the second-ranked Jayhawks on their way to the title.

This time, Kansas will likely be No. 1 and Oklahoma will be No. 2, assuming voters move both up a notch when the AP poll is released Monday. Top-ranked Michigan State lost to Iowa this past week.

'It's going to be fun,' Sooners star Buddy Hield said.

The matchup comes just three days into the conference schedule. The Jayhawks blew out No. 23 Baylor 102-74 on Saturday while the Sooners rallied past No. 11 Iowa State 87-83, setting up the potential 1-2 matchup.

Kansas (12-1) has not lost since blowing a lead against the Spartans in the Champions Classic in Chicago in mid-November. The Sooners (12-0) are off to their best start in 28 years.

The two teams couldn't be more similar, starting with their experience.

The Jayhawks return most of their core from last season, led by high-scoring guard Wayne Selden and steady Perry Ellis, making them one of Bill Self's most experienced teams.

Oklahoma has four players - Hield, Isaiah Cousins, Jordan Woodard and Ryan Spangler - that have each started the last 80 games. Khadeem Lattin gives the Sooners's top five 332 combined starts.

Then there's their composition.

The Jayhawks have become a backcourt-oriented team that starts two point guards in Frank Mason III and Devonte Graham. They're shooting 46 percent from the 3-point line, second best in the NCAA, and are averaging 88.3 points, trailing only The Citadel and Duke.

The Sooners likewise have a pair of exceptional ball-handlers in Cousins and Woodard. Throw in Hield and Oklahoma has a backcourt trio that is a big reason the Sooners are shooting 45.3 percent from 3, a notch behind Kansas, and averaging 87 points - sixth-best nationally.

'I've seen them play a couple of times. I watch their guards and stuff,' Graham said. 'They're aggressive, just like we are. They can knock down open shots. Good one-on-one players. We have to keep them out of the paint, just like we have to keep them out of the paint.'

The last meeting between No. 1 and No. 2 occurred on Nov. 12, 2013, when Michigan State knocked off Kentucky in Chicago. But there have only been five such meetings since the turn of the century, and one of those was the 2005 national title game when North Carolina beat Illinois.

Even rarer is a 1-2 matchup at Allen Fieldhouse.

The storied building has bathed in such a spotlight only once, when second-ranked Missouri beat No. 1 Kansas 77-71 on Feb. 13, 1990. Self was a young assistant at Oklahoma State at the time, and the Jayhawks would go on to lose to the Sooners in that other 1-2 matchup a few weeks later.

'What could be really cool, it doesn't happen often, is where 1 plays 1,' Self said, alluding to the fact that Kansas may top the AP poll and Oklahoma may lead the coaches' poll. 'I think that makes for a pretty interesting story line.'

Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

Westgate Super Contest (1,727 entrants-- prize pool is $2.5M)

Most popular picks in Week 17 season record: 52-50-2

6) Buccaneers, +10.5 (254)-- Will Carolina rest its starters? L

5) Steelers -10.5 (317)-- Steelers need win and Jets to lose in Buffalo. W

T3) Jets, -3 ((327)-- Lot of opinions both ways in this critical game. L

T3) Giants, -3 (327)-- One coach is already fired; other one will be Monday L

2) Packers -3 (392)-- Winner gets home field in playoff game next week. L

1) Bills +3 (403)-- Rex Ryan can knock his old team out of the playoffs. W
**********

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Sunday.....

13) Vikings 20, Packers 13-- Second abominable week in row for Green Bay, which now goes to Washington next week, while Seahawks visit Minnesota. If my team had Aaron Rodgers, I'd sure as hell find him some receivers who can get open.

12) Bills 22, Jets 17-- Jets had ball in red zone down 19-17 with just over 4:00 left; you figure they at worst get go-ahead FG, but Fitzpatrick threw INT in end zone and their season comes to an unfortunate end. Jets were +18 in turnovers in their ten wins, -15 in their six losses. Sometimes its that simple.

11) Steelers 28, Browns 12-- Cleveland fired its GM before the game, the coach after the game. Next year they'll have their sixth HC in nine years. Pittsburgh has had three head coaches since 1969. Hire a coach, then give some freakin' time. Oy.

10) Eagles 35, Giants 30-- Tom Coughlin will be in the Hall of Fame; he obviously doesn't want to retire, but Giants have had three straight losing seasons and only one playoff spot in last seven- that gets you fired.

But when you've won two Super Bowls you get to "resign" or "mutually agree to part ways". Has to be very awkward for the Giants' front office-- "....nothing ends well or else it wouldn't end". That line from the bartender in the Tom Cruise movie, Cocktail, whose name, coincidentally, was Doug Coughlin.

9) Colts 30, Titans 24-- Tennessee clinches first pick in draft; you know they're not taking a QB-- maybe they'll deal the pick for multiple selections. Cleveland will pick #2 and Dallas #3- those two teams will have very interesting offseasons.

8) Seahawks 36, Cardinals 6-- Seattle goes on road in playoffs next week but they are a team no one wants to play. Arizona gets the #2 seed and has next week off- they will want the #3 seed to win next week so they don't have to play Seahawks again.

7) Broncos 27, Chargers 20-- Peyton Manning came out of the bullpen with Broncos down 13-7 in third quarter, promptly led go-ahead TD drive, and has his starting job back. This winter, what will Denver do with Osweiler? Manning will be retired and the Broncos are going to need a franchise QB.

6) Texans 30, Jaguars 6-- Houston recovers from its 2-5 start to win the AFC South; when I watched Hard Knocks last summer, wasn't impressed with Bill O'Brien at all- thought he butchered the QB situation, and Texans did wind up starting five different QBs this season, but now they're in the playoffs, thanks to Andrew Luck being hurt and the division being a bad division.

5) Dolphins 20, Patriots 10-- New England is 2-4 in its last six games after their 10-0 start; Patriots had only 12 first downs, 196 TY. Hard to tell if they're playing possum or if they have real issues, but they'll have next week off to work on them.

4) Redskins 34, Cowboys 23-- Dallas went 1-7 at home this year; they'll have the #3 pick in April's draft. Tony Romo will turn 36 right around the time the draft happens; might be a good time to pick a franchise quarterback.

3) Lions 24, Bears 20-- Detroit won six of its last eight games and one of the losses was the Green Bay Hail Mary in that Thursday night game- the question is now, will they fire Jim Caldwell after almost everyone else got fired during the season?

2) Chiefs 23, Raiders 17-- KC started season 1-5, so just making playoffs is big deal; they head to Houston to face a team they're better than. Chiefs won 27-20 in season opener at Houston, then didn't win again for six weeks.

1) Panthers 38, Buccaneers 10-- Carolina is highly underrated; they're heading into playoffs at 15-1 and the #1 seed in the NFC. Last two Super Bowls were #1-seed vs #1-seed; in 20 years before that, it only happened once.
