It’s a relatively light week in the weekend preview, the calm before the storm of the holidays and conference play. Still, there’s wall-to-wall action on Saturday, bookended by a couple of top-25 showdowns in which two of the top-four teams in the country will take the court. Plus, we get a matchup between mid-major powerhouse Nevada and a team that scored 139 points—139 points!—in its last game. Sure, it’s a relatively light week in this space, but there’s never a dull weekend in the college hoops world.
Saturday, noon, ESPN
The weekend kicks off with a marquee matchup, though it’s fair to question if this game has lost some of its luster since the schedules were revealed.
