Monday’s slate and what to watch

Mike Miller

Admit it. You probably watched college football games most of Monday. No worries. I got the Rose Bowl on in the background right now.

But if you can tear yourself away from the bowls, there is a handful of games you should pay attention to tonight. Normally I’d say “watch” but three of ‘em aren’t on TV. So hunt down a stream or two.

(All times ET; TV info from HDSportsGuide.com)

Virginia at LSU, 7 p.m. (SEC CSS; CSN California; Bright House Sports)
Tony Bennett’s team has won 10 straight games and closes its non-conference schedule with a trip to Baton Rouge. Mike Scott & Co. should be a factor in the ACC race and make it back to the Big Dance this season … but the Cavs are coming off a seven-point win against Towson, a team that has lost 32 straight games. Perfect chance for the Tigers to pull off a W.

Northeastern at Towson, 7 p.m.
Speaking of Towson! A home game against Northeastern is a great opportunity to break that losing streak. Two more losses would tie Sacramento State’s D-I record. (NJIT lost 51 straight, but was making the move to D-I, so it’s not on the books.)

VCU at Hofstra, 7 p.m. (FiOS1 Long Island)
The Rams (10-3) are coming off an OT win at Akron, the best win yet for Shaka Smart’s squad. Hitting the road to resume CAA play should make things interesting, though the real tests come after this when Georgia State and Drexel come around.

Drexel at Georgia State, 7 p.m.
Well lookee here. The Dragons were perhaps the CAA team to beat before the season began, but the Panthers are 9-3 and haven’t lost since Nov. 14. Do yourself a favor and read this to find out how this has happened.

Texas A&M at Baylor, 7 p.m. (ESPNU)
Big Monday is here and it features an unbeaten team in Baylor playing host to one of its biggest challengers in the Big 12. The Bears (13-0) have more NBA talent than anyone else in the conference, but don’t always play like it. Close wins against BYU, West Virginia and Miss State are an indication that Baylor will have issues against the Big 12’s best teams. Just not sure the Aggies are one of those teams.

Robert Morris at Ohio, 7 p.m.
Check it out. The Bobcats (12-1) didn’t lose in December and they get the NEC’s best team before MAC play begins. Go track down a stream for this one.
