Week seven of the college basketball season is highlighted with a top 25 matchup between old Big 12 foes, Iowa State beginning their holiday tournament in Hawai’i, another Big 12/SEC showdown, and Texas’ matchups against top 20 opponents.

The best game on the slate is arguably at the MGM Grand Showcase in Las Vegas, with the second part of a doubleheader features Oklahoma State taking on Colorado. The Cowboys are now the highest-ranked team in the Big 12 on both Associated Press and Coaches polls. The Buffaloes break into the top 25 after their big win over Kansas a few weeks ago and continuing their surprise start to the season.

There’s another chapter in the Big 12/SEC Challenge, and this week it features Oklahoma taking on Texas A&M and a neutral site. Also, Texas will take on 18th-ranked North Carolina and 5th-ranked Michigan State in a span of four days.

Last but not least, the Cyclones will open up against George Mason, kicking off the quarterfinals of the 2013 Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic.
