Friday's college basketball action was filled with numerous top-25 upsets, setting up can't-miss action for the rest of the weekend. We have highlighted the odds, movements, and our college basketball best bets for Saturday.
Three of the country's top-six teams were defeated Friday, as No. 1 North Carolina and No. 3 Kansas suffered their first losses of the season, and No. 6 Gonzaga was dominated by 18 points by Purdue. However, oddsmakers felt the Tar Heels and Jayhawks were vulnerab le, as North Carolina tipped off as just five-point favorites, while Kansas was a two-point underdog to Tennessee.
