Get ready for the best Saturday we’ve had so far and likely will have the rest of this college basketball season.  That’s right, with five games with both teams ranked in the AP Top 25, we’ll have have December Madness as teams get ready for a break over the holidays.

Put on your best Jesse Katsopolis voice and say those two magical words with me: Haaaave mercy. Because Saturday’s college basketball slate absolutely deserves it.

We have No. 8 Kansas welcoming in No. 14 Indiana to Allen Fieldhouse early in the day. We have No. 2 Virginia welcoming No. 5 Houston smack in the middle of the afternoon. And oh, by the way, the CBS Sports Classic doubleheader between No. 23 Ohio State and North Carolina first followed by No. 13 Kentucky and No. 16 UCLA all inside Madison Square Garden, too. For the night owls there’s also a real late-night treat with No. 6 Tennessee — armed with the No. 1 defense in America — taking on No. 9 Arizona — armed with the No. 1 offense in America — inside the McKale Center.

So, yeah, have mercy indeed.
