Let’s start here: Your eyes are deceiving you when you read the schedule chart below. Yes, you’re seeing Army at Navy on their twice. CBS Sports Network is airing a women’s then men’s hoops doubleheader from Annapolis. That’s neat.
That one gives us 33 college basketball games on national broadcast television on Saturday, and that’s a bunch of fun. Nine of the games feature at least one ranked team. The game of the day is clearly #12 Kentucky Wildcats going into the home of #2 Auburn Tigers at noon Central today. There’s a real argument to be made that a #1 ranking in Monday’s AP poll is on the line for the Tigers as beating a top 15 Wildcats squad might just be enough to get the Tigers to jump past Gonzaga and into the top spot in the poll.
