Previewing the weekend’s top 25 men’s basketball matchups

The GIST: The weekend is chock-full of top-25 men’s basketball action, including a top-10 SEC showdown. Here are the key games to add to your calendar:

No. 21 Michigan vs. No. 11 Purdue — Tonight at 8 p.m. ET — Fox Sports: Purdue was on a seven-game win streak before falling to unranked Ohio State on Tuesday. With the Boilermakers looking vulnerable, Michigan and 7’1” grad student center Vladislav Goldin, who’s averaging 16.4 points per game, will aim to make it two upsets in a row.

No. 16 Ole Miss vs. No. 22 Missouri — Tomorrow at 6 p.m. ET — SEC Network: Missouri is no stranger to beating top teams — the Tigers already have wins over then-No. 2 Auburn and then-No. 5 Florida this season. On the flip side, Ole Miss will rely on its balanced attack, with six players averaging nine points or more per game. Teamwork makes the dream work.

No. 7 Houston vs. No. 12 Kansas — Tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. ET — ESPN: The Cougars are red-hot and looking to extend their win streak to 12. Meanwhile, Kansas’ leading scorer, fifth-year senior Hunter Dickinson, is coming off a 16-point performance that led his Jayhawks to a Wednesday comeback win over TCU.

No. 6 Tennessee vs. No. 1 Auburn — Tomorrow at 8:30 p.m. ET — ESPN: Auburn’s top scorer, fifth-year senior Johni Broome, has been out since January 11th with an injury, but HC Bruce Pearl says “there’s a possibility” he plays against Tennessee.

• Either way, the Vols will be led by fifth-year senior transfer Chaz Lanier and his 18.4 points per game on average.
