College basketball's early-November schedule is stacked with teams chasing momentum behind breakout scoring nights.
No. 4 UConn (2-0) hosts winless Wagner in Storrs on Monday at 7 p.m., fresh off an 85-77 win over Michigan in which Braylon Mullins poured in 23 points. Also Monday, Jackson State (1-1) visits Mississippi State (2-0) in Starkville after Dorian McMillian scored 23, while Minnesota (2-0) heads to Cincinnati (2-0) behind Isaac Asuma, who had 20 points in a 76-62 win. Out west, Washington (1-0) welcomes Mississippi Valley State (0-1) to Seattle at 10 p.m. after Nikola Dzepina dropped 27.
Tuesday brings two more. Siena (1-1) visits Dayton (1-1) after Tim Ibukunoluwa erupted for 30 points in an 82-68 win over Princeton — the biggest individual line of the group. And Georgia Southern (1-1) hosts Mercer (1-2) in Statesboro after Truman Claytor IV scored 24.
The common thread: every team in action has a scorer coming off at least 20 points, making this stretch an early test of which breakout performances are repeatable and which were one-night flashes.
