Somebody is gonna win

This week’s Big Monday games have all four squads rallying after losses.

———————————————————————–

4pm PST — UCONN @ Louisville

Back-to-back losses for the Huskies means a big drop off the Top 25 board.  Coach Calhoun is still not gonna be on the sidelines for Connecticut for another week of action.  That could make this home game for Louisville a little easier since they just absorbed a tough loss in Morgantown.  Pitino will have his kids ready to kick a dog when it’s down.  A Monday win for Louisville could get them on a roll with beatable teams like Rutgers & St. Johns on the horizon.  And I just can’t see UCONN solving their turnover issues while visiting the press-happy Cardinals.

———————————————————————–

6pm PST — #10 Texas @ Oklahoma State

Longhorns are stumbling badly losing 3 outta their last 4 games.  Texas coach Barnes better rally the troops because Oklahoma & Kansas are coming up quickly on the sked.   The Cowboys have the opp to deliver a serious body blow to the Longhorns and send them down to BIG 12 mediocrity.  OSU is coming off a loss in Missouri, so this battle should come down to the last-scrappin-minute.  Because both squads really need this win to have any hope of pacing the Jayhawks in the conference standings.
