Week 7 is a short one for college basketball fans but here are predictions for all of the Top 25 action currently on the schedule.

College basketball is approaching Christmas, which means the season is just under two months old. The non-conference portion of the schedule had been sailing smoothly until the resurgence of COVID-19, which has led to a slew of cancellations over the past two weeks.

This week’s schedule has already taken a few hits, including the loss of Louisville-Kentucky due to COVID issues within the Cardinals’ program, but there is still plenty of Top 25 action to watch. Let’s make some predictions for all games involving a Top 25 program that are currently on the schedule as of post time.
