The holidays mean a shorter week of action in college basketball. Here’s who will win each Top 25 game in Week 7 of the season.

Week 6 was a heavyweight one in terms of college basketball action as many of the top non-conference games left on the schedule took place, with many coming on Saturday afternoon. The Saturday before Christmas is usually a high point of the college basketball season, which makes sense since the week prior to the holiday is usually a slower one in the sport.

The action from the weekend did lead to a bit of a shakeup in the AP Top 25 poll as two new teams leaped into the Top 5 while Marquette and Arizona State entered the poll for the first time this season. Let’s take a look at how each Top 25 game scheduled for this week will play out.
