WHO TO WATCH
Bates-Diop. If he doesn't miss Ohio State's last 18 games last season with a leg injury, Thad Matta might still be coaching the Buckeyes. A special player having an absolutely monster year. The Buckeyes have balance, but Bates-Diop leads the way.
Watson. In his last eight games, Watson's scoring has gone like this: 2, 1, 19, 7, 3, 21, 7, 8. If the pattern holds, he's in for a big night Monday. And if the junior guard gets going, Nebraska becomes a truly scary team on both ends of the court.
