Picks: Villanova-Kansas, Gonzaga-UNC Highlight Weekend's Marquee Matchups
Several teams will have the opportunity to boost their resumés in a weekend slate that features a matchup between No. 4 Gonzaga and No. 12 North Carolina.
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
