Feast Week Madness: Top-25 Shakeups and Must-Watch Games Ahead
The 2024 edition of Feast Week delivered a November to remember for men’s college basketball fans. It was a week packed with upsets, buzzer-beaters, and high-stakes matchups that left the AP men’s top 25 poll in complete disarray. If you thought the drama was over, think again. The next 36 hours are set to bring even more fireworks, with a slate of games that could shape the season and still be talked about come March Madness.
Hope you’ve caught your breath because the action is about to heat up again.
Tuesday and Wednesday are loaded with can’t-miss games, including four matchups featuring top-25 teams and two showdowns between top-10 squads. The SEC/ACC Men’s Challenge and the Big 12-Big East Battle headline the schedule, but that’s not all. With conference realignment shaking things up, the Big Ten is already diving into league play, adding even more intrigue to an already jam-packed week.
Let’s break down the must-watch games over the next two nights, with insights from ESPN’s Myron Medcalf and Jeff Borzello.
No. 4 Kentucky Wildcats at Clemson Tigers
SEC/ACC Men’s Challenge
Originally Written by: ESPN
Kentucky is off to a blazing 7-0 start under new head coach Mark Pope, a run that has catapulted the Wildcats into the AP Poll’s top five. But now comes their first true test on the road. They’ll face a Clemson team that hasn’t lost at home since mid-February of last season. The key to this game? Clemson’s ability to defend the 3-point line and the perimeter battle between Chase Hunter and Kentucky’s wings. Can the Wildcats keep their perfect record intact? — Borzello
No. 15 Baylor Bears at No. 25 UConn Huskies
Big 12-Big East Battle
