The SEC rivals meet for the first time this season: Tennessee's coming off a nine-point win over Georgia while Kentucky is dancing after a 10-point win over Vandy. Tyler Smith, pictured, is averaging 17.7 ppg for the Vols.

Jonny Flynn and the Orange may all be back together and healthy, but will they have enough to top a Georgetown team with a looming inside presence? They'll certainly try. Flynn, pictured, is putting up 16.4 ppg for the Orange.

No. 21 Baylor at Texas A&M, 9:30 PM, Wednesday

AP

Sure Baylor's put itself in contention to be a big factor in the Big 12 this season, but Chinemelu Elonu and the Aggies have some pretty big wins to their name too. Curtis Jerrells, pictured, is averaging six assists per game.

No. 9 Georgetown at No. 2 Duke, 1:30 PM, Saturday

UCLA barely squeaked by crosstown rival USC to earn another tough weekend game against Arizona State. Jrue Holiday had 14 points in the win over USC.

No. 2 Wake Forest at No. 10 Clemson, 3:30 PM, Saturday

AP

That win over North Carolina sure felt good for the Demon Deacons, but another tough ACC test awaits: both teams are undefeated so far this season.
