Women's college basketball: ESPN2 has two top 25 matchups that will take your breath away tonight as part of February Frenzy.

• No. 12 Oklahoma at No. 2 UConn (7 p.m. ET). The Sooners head to Hartford looking to break the hearts of the Huskies, who are 8-0 all-time against Oklahoma and have won an NCAA-record 74 straight home games. Already the all-time leading scorer in UConn history, Maya Moore needs just 11 points to pass Louisville's Angel McCoughtry (2,779) for the Big East career lead.

• No. 5 Texas A&M at No. 1 Baylor (9 p.m. ET). If this game doesn't get your heart racing, I don't know what will. It's a Big 12 battle that features two of college basketball's brightest stars: Baylor's Brittney Griner and A&M's Danielle Adams. Griner's Lady Bears have won 20 straight games, the longest active streak in the nation. Adams is coming off a school-record 40-point performance at Kansas. Baylor defeated Texas A&M 63-60 in their meeting earlier this season, the only win this season that has come by fewer than 11 points for the Lady Bears.

Men's college basketball: ESPN has a sweet Big Monday treat tonight with No. 20 Syracuse hosting West Virginia at 7 p.m. and No. 1 Kansas taking on in-state rival Kansas State at 9 p.m. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim needs one win to become the fifth Division I coach to record 850 career victories.

2011 Beanpot championship: Boston College takes on Northeastern at 8 p.m. Northeastern looks to win its first Beanpot title since 1988. Boston College is in its fifth Beanpot final in six years and goes for its second straight championship.

135th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show: If you've got a case of puppy love, then you'll want to check out the first day of the two-day annual Westminster Dog Show at Madison Square Garden. The Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding groups are on Monday's schedule.
