College basketball blue bloods No. 12 Kentucky and No. 5 Kansas meet in the biggest matchup involving a Southeastern Conference team this weekend. Most of the weekend’s action is part of the Big 12/SEC Challenge. That includes No. 1 Auburn hosting Oklahoma and fourth-ranked Baylor visiting slumping Alabama. The Kansas-Kentucky game features Jayhawks guard Ochai Agbaji and Wildcats rebounding machine Oscar Tshiebwe. Auburn rides a 16-game winning streak into its game at Auburn Arena. Alabama is trying to rebound from a loss to Georgia and has dropped four of its last six.
