One of the best regular season Saturdays of the year in men’s college basketball is Big 12/SEC Challenge Day. Sure, regular Saturdays in conference season are fun, but getting a full day devoted to two conferences squaring off and throwing down? That’s pretty great.
The headliner in the inter-conference series this year is #15 Kansas taking their whole deal to Knoxville to tangle with #18 Tennessee. It’s probably the best game of the day, as the other two contests with two ranked teams squaring off on national television have the two teams a little further apart in the rankings.
