Notre Dame, Tenn., Texas & Baylor...on Monday 2 of them lose...:)

[DavidinNaples]

Monday is gonna be a good day..!! Oh yeah...!!
On Monday, assuming UConn takes care of business on Sunday, two of the four teams listed in the headline will lose. That is because #7 N.D. (16-2) is hosting #6 Tennessee (15-2) and #3 Baylor (15-1) is hosting #4 Texas (13-2). Two losers, guaranteed to drop in the polls...

Also on Monday, #13 Stanford (13-4) plays #14 Arizona (16-1) in California. I guess UConn would prefer Stanford to win, but Arizona is nobody's patsy. It feels so weird to wish the Cardinal luck...

Down in Florida, the Gators (9-9) are playing some school from S.C. (17-0). Florida led #10 Kentucky by 7 before falling apart and losing by 6 pts on Thursday. The Gators missed 9 of 14 three's and 6 of 9 free throws. Don't expect much, but....

Go Huskies..!!

P.S. - My daughter goes to USF and the bet is I shave my head if UConn loses. I don't if they win.

I wish all 4 could lose Monday

We'll see you (and your full head of hair) at that game, David!

Any may they have ref crews that drive all their fans crazy as well....

Now that isn't nice, I thought you would at least be rooting for Notre Dame since they are an ACC member!

 

[sivad40]

I guess I'll be rooting for Tenn to beat ND and I don't care who wins between Baylor and Texas.

 

[HuskyFan1125]

ND and Baylor for the win!

 

[stwainfan]

Two big games.

 

[ed4ourgirls]

Stanford is playing ASU, not Arizona. Arizona is winless in the conference.

 

[Bayareahusky]

can't believe ND is #7,,,,, I have them in my top 3..... if ranking below tennessee isn't enough motivation for this game then nothing is!

Yes, you are correct. I will actually be pulling for them and the Ribeye Steaks on Monday.

When was the last time UCONN did not play on MLK day?............

 

[HoopsFan21]

When was the last time UCONN did not play on MLK day?..

Good question. It's a "Big Monday" as ESPN calls it, and UConn is a staple of those Big Monday games, but I guess not this Monday! The 2/9 Big Monday game against SCar is going to be the biggest one of the regular season I think.

 

[HGN]

I am pulling for the LadyVols and Texas....

When was the last time UCONN did not play on MLK day?..

I read an article that said last year was the first time they didn't play on MLK Jr. Day. I have not checked the accuracy of that claim myself

 

[CCinCT]

Go ND. Could care less Texas vs. Baylor although Mulkey's histrionics are amusing. The biggest benefit of a Vol loss is reading their message board afterwards !

 

[01Neaggrad02]

Any time Mulkey loses is a good time for me... So I have to root for Texas... as for Tennessee and Notre Dame... I am really torn. I really dislike Notre Dame as of late... and would love for them to have another beat down.... but I do not want Tennessee to win. If I have to.... I would go with the two T's. begrudgingly

 

[j66kicker]

I can't stand ND or TN. I think my distaste for TN is more intense, but not certain - my dislike of ND came from other sports, way before the WCBB rivalry, so it has seniority. I'm just going to watch the game and root whichever way my heart leads me at the time.
