College Basketball Big Monday is officially back, and both the Kansas Jayhawks and North Carolina Tar Heels took care of business against the Cincinnati Bearcats and Wake Forest Demon Deacons, respectively. Bill Self's shooting guard problem looks to finally be resolved after Johnny Furphy dropped 23 points and 11 rebounds, while the Jayhawks got just two points from their bench - a pair of free throws by Elmarko Jackson in the final seconds. RJ Davis solidified his spot as ACC Player of the Year frontrunner by dropping 36 points for the Tar Heels, who are now 8-0 in ACC play.
The Big Ten only has four teams over .500, and we discuss which other teams outside of Purdue, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Northwestern, are most likely to compete for a top-three spot in the Big Ten and a guaranteed at-large bid in the NCAA Tournament. Is it Tom Izzo and Michigan State, who have won eight of their last 10, or perhaps Nebraska who has a decently favorable schedule the rest of the way?
We close out the show previewing Tuesday's action, including Duke heading to Louisville, Kentucky at South Carolina, and four other marquee matchups!
