Though Ohio State played on Friday, there will be three Big Ten matchups to watch and track on Saturday. The college basketball season is well underway, and the second team in the nation, Kentucky, will be taking on Penn State at 12:00 p.m. eastern. Kentucky is 2-0 on the season and looking to stay perfect against a Penn State team that is also undefeated, with a 3-0 mark overall, with all games at home. It's part of the Hall Of Fame Tip Off Tournament, and is certainly a game to watch this weekend.
In more Big 10 action, Wisconsin is taking on Wofford at 8:00 p.m. eastern for the Chicago Invitational Challenge. Wisconsin, the thirteenth-ranked team in the nation, is 2-0, both games played at home. Wofford is 1-1 on the season and 0-1 as the visitor. Lastly, the Indiana Hoosiers will take on Savannah State also at 8:00 p.m. eastern. Indiana is perfect in three games, while Savannah St is 1-2 overall.
