As the Christmas break approaches, there won't be a huge slate of college basketball games this Saturday, but there are a few matchups likely to be an early Christmas gift for fans.

(No. 19 Kentucky vs. No. 9 North Carolina, 5:15 p.m. ET at the United Center in Chicago on CBS)
If you ask Kentucky fans about the Wisconsin squad that ended their team's 38-game winning streak in the 2015 Final Four, they'll probably mention Alex Poythress' injury. Poythress, a former Kentucky standout and now a 6-foot-8 forward for the Atlanta Hawks, suffered a season-ending knee injury eight games into that season.
