CBB: Week 7 Predictions

Chas Post

Week 6 had arguably the best game of the season as No. 5 Kentucky staved off No. 8 North Carolina, 103-100, as freshman Malik Monk went off for 47 points, but No. 15 Purdue vs. No. 16 Notre Dame and No. 17 Butler vs. No. 10 Indiana also did not disappoint.

Week 7 is, at first glance; kind of depressing. There is only one ranked-vs.-ranked matchup, which takes place on Wednesday between the Bluegrass State rivals, No. 5 Kentucky and No. 9 Louisville. Blake Stoll and I will do our best job of predicting our 10-best games, as we offer our composite rankings, updated No. 1 seeds, and our Wooden Award watch.
