Key games this weekend (Rankings based off of AP Poll)
Oklahoma at. 1.Auburn (Saturday, 2 PM ET, ESPN)
Auburn needs Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler to continue playing well to continue being ranked number one. Both of them should play well and Auburn should be challenged, at least a little bit by Porter Moser’s team. Projected Score: Auburn 82, Oklahoma 70
4.Baylor at. Alabama (Saturday, 4 PM ET, ESPN)
While Alabama has been inconsistent, including a loss to SEC bottom-feeder Georgia on Tuesday, but they have beaten top ten teams Gonzaga and Houston. To stay in line with Kansas at the top of the Big 12, Baylor needs to win this game. Projected Score: Baylor 81, Alabama 78
12.Kentucky at.5.Kansas (Saturday, 6 PM ET, ESPN)
ESPN’s College GameDay crew heads out to Lawrence for its first road show of the season. Kentucky and Kansas are yet again contenders for the top of their respective conferences and the winner will come out with a resume-defining win. Projected Score: Kansas 81, Kentucky 80
16.Ohio State at. 6.Purdue (Sunday, 12 PM ET, CBS)
A huge Big Ten battle takes center stage on Sunday. Ohio State (5-2) and Purdue (5-3) in the conference could use a huge win like this to propel themselves into the one seed conversation. Projected Score: Purdue 75, Ohio State 70
