Just a note that the only games eligible for this list were ones guaranteed to take place. Like the double play, potential preseason tournament semifinal and championship games can never be assumed.
Anyone who watches all 50 gets a Red Lobster/The Expendables dinner/movie date with yours truly. The Expendables is still playing, right? It's not? That's still the deal.
Kentucky involved in 3 of the top 5.
5. Kansas vs. Kentucky (Nov. 15)The second Legends Classic game will provide the finale for ESPN’s 24-hour college hoops marathon.4. North Carolina vs. Michigan State (Nov. 11)If the likely No. 1 team in the nation taking on one of the sport’s top programs wasn’t enough to pique your interest, then maybe the fact that the game will be played on the deck of the aircraft carrier where Osama Bin Laden was buried at sea is. Oh yeah, and the President will be there watching.3. Duke at Ohio State (Nov. 29)Easily the best matchup of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. The big question for the Blue Devils is whether or not they have enough of an inside presence to compete for the national title. It’s a question that will be asked early and often in a game featuring Jared Sullinger.2. Louisville at Kentucky (Dec. 31)The rivalry was already college basketball’s most contentious before Rick Pitino and John Calipari decided to spend a significant chunk of the offseason lobbing shots at one another. Rupp Arena may spontaneously combust from hate a half hour before tip.1. North Carolina at Kentucky (Dec. 3)Arguably the sport’s two biggest names and the two runaway preseason favorites to cut down the nets in 2012. As far as non-conference games in recent memory are concerned, I can’t think of one bigger.
