January 15, 2019
Seton Hall at Providence 6:30 PM ET
Seton Hall has played one of the nation's most rugged schedules and will try to avoid a third loss in four games when it visits Providence on Tuesday night in a Big East matchup. Coming off a 70-66 loss at No. 13 Marquette on Saturday, the matchup against the Friars marks the fourth time in the last five games that the Pirates will be playing away from home.
West Virginia at Texas Christian 7:00 PM ET
TCU answered a nine-game winning streak by dropping back-to-back decisions against a pair of ranked adversaries to fall out of the Top 25 poll.

South Florida at Cincinnati 7:00 PM ET
Cincinnati wasn’t particularly pleased with its effort the last two games despite pulling out overtime wins and looks to put forth a better performance when vastly improved South Florida pays a visit for an American Athletic Conference matchup Tuesday. The Bearcats allowed 14 makes from 3-point range in a 70-65 win at Tulsa on Thursday and were outrebounded at home in the 74-72 triumph against Connecticut two days later.
Rutgers at Purdue 7:00 PM ET
Purdue looks to notch back-to-back wins in Big Ten play for the first time this season when it hosts Rutgers on Tuesday.

Arkansas at Tennessee 7:00 PM ET

Third-ranked Tennessee aims for its first 11-game winning streak in 11 seasons when it hosts Arkansas for an SEC matchup on Tuesday. The Volunteers have won 17 straight home games - their longest streak under coach Rick Barnes.

Florida at Mississippi State 7:00 PM ET
It's getting to be desperate times for Mississippi State and visiting Florida as both teams entered SEC play with high hopes yet they have combined for just one victory in five league games going into Tuesday's matchup. The Gators are in danger of going 1-3 in conference action for the first time since the 1996-97 season while Mississippi State is looking for its first SEC win after plummeting from No. 14 in the rankings to 23rd following an 81-77 loss to rival Ole Miss on Saturday.
Kentucky at Georgia 7:00 PM ET
No. 14 Kentucky has rebounded with back-to-back victories following a loss in its SEC opener, but visit Georgia on Tuesday seeking the type of performance at the beginning of games it has displayed in the second half. In both of the Wildcats' conference victories - home triumphs against Texas A&M and Vanderbilt - Kentucky found itself trailing by double digits in the first half before finding its stride after halftime.
Buffalo at Western Michigan 7:00 PM ET
Dontay Caruthers has long been a tone-setter on the defensive end for No. 17 Buffalo, which hits the road Tuesday for a Mid-American Conference game at Western Michigan. The services of Caruthers, a former two-time MAC Defensive Player of the Year, were needed Saturday to help the Bulls put away a pesky Miami (Ohio) squad en route to their 19th straight home victory.
NC State at Wake Forest 8:00 PM ET
North Carolina State second-year coach Kevin Keatts has put together a competitive team much faster than anybody expected, piecing together a team last season that made it to the NCAA Tournament before taking a squad that returned just three players this season and getting them ranked for the first time in six years. His 16th-ranked Wolfpack hope to continue surging when they visit a struggling Wake Forest team on Tuesday.
Virginia Tech at Virginia 8:00 PM ET
Virginia hasn't broken much of a sweat while beginning ACC play with three straight wins for the second straight season, using its trademark recipe of precision offense and suffocating defense.

Marquette at Georgetown 8:30 PM ET
Georgetown and its league-worst scoring defense will welcome one of the hottest scorers in the nation Tuesday when hosting No. 13 Marquette in a Big East game. The Hoyas, long known for their stingy defense, have been anything but heading into a matchup with Markus Howard and the Golden Eagles.
Louisiana State at Mississippi 9:00 PM ET

After knocking off two top-15 opponents last week, No. 20 Ole Miss looks to avoid a letdown when it hosts LSU on Tuesday. The contest is a matchup between two of the four remaining undefeated teams in the SEC standings. 

Notre Dame at North Carolina 9:00 PM ET
Notre Dame tries to build off its first ACC win of the season as it visits North Carolina on Tuesday evening. The 15th-ranked Tar Heels will be trying bounce back from an uncharacteristic performance where they got dominated at home on Saturday.
Nevada at Boise St. 9:00 PM ET
Nevada moved up a spot in the national rankings to No. 10 on Monday thanks to an impressive road win at Fresno State. But the Wolf Pack, trying to become the first team in Mountain West history to win three consecutive outright regular-season titles, still have some work to do in that regard, starting with Tuesday night's game at conference co-leader Boise State.
