Monday's Pregame Beat: Not a whole lot...

For weary college basketball fans struggling to make it through leftover tryptophan induced slumbers, tonight is your (brief) respite as there is barely a watchable game on TV.

7:00 pm: Virginia @ Minnesota: The Gophers and the 'Hoos kick off the ACC/Big Ten Challenge tonight. With Minnesota's resurgence and Virginia's, well, tendency to be Virginia, this game doesn't have much intrigue on the surface. But with Al Nolen's injury and Devoe Joseph's status still unclear, there is a chance that this could be semi-interesting.
