There are very few events during the college basketball season that give us a better idea of how teams stack up in March than the SEC/Big 12 Challenge.
This Saturday marks the ninth year of the challenge, with the Big 12 leading the all-time series, 48-41.
This season’s slate includes 10 total games stretching from Noon to 8 p.m. ET on Saturday.
So far this season, the Big 12 has been superior, which is reflected by seven of its 10 teams being projected to make the NCAA tournament. The other three remaining — West Virginia, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State — are all currently listed in Joe Lunardi’s “First Four Out” category.
