12.29 Saturday College Hoops Open Thread

We've got 102 games on the schedule today, and 13 games of those involve a top 25 team. The only game between ranked teams is a doozy, though, as it's the yearly matchup between Louisville and Kentucky.

As I was assembling the list of national broadcasted games, I was struck by the lack of games on CBS Sports Network or NBC Sports Network. There's 55 games that aren't on an ESPN channel, Fox Sports Network, Big Ten Network, Pac 12 Networks or whatever Root Sports is, and CBS & NBC are just broadcasting a bunch of hunting and motorsports programming. In fact, CBSSN's programming is encore presentations of motorsports. Seems to be quite the misstep, considering that ESPN is broadcasting pointless bowl games on their main channel all day.

As always, the times listed are Central time. If you've got a game on a local broadcast, pass it along in the comments section so everyone can enjoy! On to the list!
