Your guide to men's college basketball Feast Week: The 9 best games to watch

Another Feast Week, another buffet of elite nonconference matchups that offers college basketball teams the chance to pad their NCAA tournament résumés with high-quality wins.

The best action will come out of Las Vegas, where 18 of the nation's top teams -- including nine of the AP Top 25 -- will play in the Players Era Festival, which guarantees each participating program $1 million. The marquee matchups include Alabama vs. Gonzaga on Monday and Houston vs. Tennessee on Tuesday, culminating in a championship game on Wednesday.

While the talent is concentrated in the desert, there are still notable matchups elsewhere this Thanksgiving week.
