The dwindling list of undefeated teams could get even shorter before Christmas. I’m looking at you, Arkansas-Little Rock (bonus pick!), which will travel to face Texas Tech on Tuesday. And the Trojans may not be the only ones to get their first loss this week.
As for the weekday games before the college basketball schedule takes a holiday break on Thursday and Friday, it’s the last full week of nonconference matchups. Here are a few of the most intriguing:
No. 5 Iowa State at No. 23 Cincinnati (Cincinnati), 7 p.m., ESPN2, Tuesday: Offensively, the Cyclones won't be the same without Naz Mitrou-Long, who wasn't the same after offseason hip surgery and will sit out the rest of the season with lingering discomfort.
