The number three rated Tigers will be taking on the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday afternoon. Making them the best team in the conference, the missouri tigers have a 24-2 record and an 11-2 Major 12 record. The Aggies are in eighth place in the Big 12 with a 13-12 record and a 4-9 conference record.

This Saturday at the John Paul Jones Arena, the Terrapins will be traveling to Charlottesville to take on the Virginia Cavaliers. This match pits the Terrapins, who are 8th in the ACC with a 14-10 record and 4-6 conference record, with the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are currently 5th in the ACC and have a 19-6 record and 6-5 conference record. They’re at #22 on the Associated Press poll.

The Tigers and Gamecocks, 2 of the bottom-ranked squads in the SEC, will be playing at the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia on Saturday. LSU is 7th in the SEC with a 5-6 conference record and a 15-10 total record. With a 10-15 record and a 2-9 conference record, South Carolina is at the bottom.

The Baylor Bears will host a big 12 match with the Wildcats this Saturday at Waco’s Ferrell Center. They’re currently rated #9 on the Associated Press poll. The Bears are 22-4 with a 9-4 Big 12 record while the Wildcats are 6-7 in the conference but have a 17-8 record.

The Florida State Seminoles and Wolfpack will be fighting at Raleigh’s RBC Center this Saturday in an ACC match. With a 17-7 record with an 8-2 conference record, the Florida State Seminoles are third in the ACC. The Wolfpack is fourth at 18-7 with a 7-3 conference record.

Number one rated Kentucky versus the NCAA championship hopefuls Georgia? Sounds like a recipe for a blowout, particularly as Kentucky barely regained that desired No. 1 spot on the standings for the first time in the previous two months. While the Wildcats are on top of the standings and relishing an eleven game win streak, the Bulldogs can best be termed inconsistent so far in the season.

These two teams have been doing relatively well this year. This should not be an unanticipated to any person as these two colleges are well known for their share of victories in basketball for several years. When Western Virginia visits Connecticut these two teams will be at it out on the court on January 9.

While this particular game may not have the same depth that its football version does, the Jan 9 – Oklahoma at Oklahoma State game still has its own kind of exhilaration. With the conference basketball year just arrived, both the Oklahoma Sooners and Cowboys will make an effort to set the tone for the remainder of their year with this game. In Oklahoma’s case, they will be trying to continue what has been a solid start as they finished the non-conference slate with a 10-2 record.
