Despite being a light week in college basketball due to the holidays, a lot of big wins and key suspensions took place.

With NBA Christmas games on, college basketball had a light week, with only three ranked teams playing on Dec. 23 and none over the holiday weekend. The lack of games last weekend sums up the week as a whole.

Clemson beating South Carolina was the only upset of the week and West Virginia was the only team in last week’s College Basketball Power 10 to play multiple games.

The college basketball schedule will pick back up Wednesday with the start of conference play. The blowouts against poor mid-majors have come to an end for most teams this year and we’ll finally get to learn more about the top teams in the nation.

The six remaining undefeated teams in the nation will be tested every night against teams and coaches who know them extremely well. It’s especially true in the Big East since Villanova and Creighton are both undefeated and Butler is 11-1.
