College basketball games to watch on Thanksgiving 2023
On the men's side, the best game will be the clash between the No. 3 Arizona Wildcats and the No. 21 Michigan State Spartans. The Spartans are looking to recover after falling several spots in this week's AP Poll, while Arizona is on the rise and chasing No. 1 Kansas. A potential upset could be the Memphis Tigers over the No. 20 Arkansas Razorbacks.
The best game on the women's side will be the clash between the No. 19 Tennessee Volunteers and the No. 21 Indiana Hoosiers. While it's not a clash between highly-ranked teams, it will surely be interesting.
