Georgia enters this week battling through five straight games against AP Top 25 opponents in the SEC.

The 18-year-old made Atlantic Coast Conference history with third-ranked Duke to win the AP's top weekly honor for the second time this season. The 6-foot-9 freshman forward scored 42 points in Saturday's victory over Notre Dame to set an ACC freshman single-game record. It was the best scoring output by a Blue Devils player since Danny Ferry had a program-record 58 points at Miami in December 1988, and it was the most by a Duke player at Cameron Indoor Stadium since 1976.

Texas and Oklahoma thought they were leaving the toughest basketball league in the country, only to land right in the middle of this season's version. The Longhorns and Sooners both left the Big 12 after last season when that league had a reputation as the roughest, toughest conference out there. The Longhorns (11-5) and Sooners (13-3) are both 0-3 in league play heading into their rivalry matchup Wednesday night, and the Sooners dropped out of the rankings this week from No. 17.

The No. 19 Illinois Fighting Illini go head-to-head with the Indiana Hoosiers at 7 PM ET tonight on Peacock.

The Badgers are on a five-game win streak entering tonight's matchup, which is part of a busy night on Peacock.
