There are 10 ranked teams in action on national television on this fine Saturday of college basketball. EIGHT of them are either on the road or playing on a neutral floor.
That’s pretty weird!
Some of the matchups aren’t weird. The annual Crossroads Classic in Indianapolis is today, so there’s how you get Purdue and Notre Dame at a neutral site. Michigan has stolen the idea of that event and is running a doubleheader in Detroit, so that’s how you get Michigan State on a neutral floor against Oakland.
Some of the road games are pretty odd, but they’re all the back ends of home-and-homes.
