On Monday Teddy Allen (Nebraska) did not play for not meeting program expectations, Matt Mitchell (San Diego State) was out with a minor ankle injury, and Yor Anei (SMU) did not play for personal reasons. The UNC-Miami game was likely postponed because of a video that showed UNC players Armando Bacot & Day’Ron Sharpe celebrating with others after the Duke game this past weekend without masks. Evan Battey (Colorado) started after an ankle injury at the very end of his last game but Richard Washington (San Jose State) remained out.

Returning to action on Monday were Darius McNeill (SMU), Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe (Oklahoma State), Tyon Grant-Foster (Kansas), Aguek Arop (San Diego State) Oumar Ballo (Gonzaga) and Michael Ofoegbu (San Jose State).

In injury updates, Ian DuBose (Wake Forest) is expected to play Wednesday, Herb Jones (Alabama) may sit on Tuesday, Thomas Kithier (Michigan State) is expected to be back at practice on Monday, while Terrence Clarke (Kentucky) may miss the rest of the season.

For UCLA Cody Riley is hopeful to play this week but Jalen Hill‘s status is uncertain, for Virginia Tech Jalen Cone is day to day while Tyrece Radford continues working his way back to the team after legal issues, and for Louisville Aidan Igiehon and Josh Nickelberry are expected to be back at practice this week.
