The list of undefeated college basketball teams is getting smaller every night. This Wednesday, three of the remaining perfect teams are facing very difficult challenges. Iowa State, Arizona, and Vanderbilt are all playing important games that will test if they can stay undefeated. Currently, there are only six teams left in the entire country that have not lost a single game this season. Michigan and Miami of Ohio already played this week and managed to keep their winning streaks alive.
Iowa State faces one of the toughest tests tonight as they travel to play against Baylor. Playing on the road in the Big 12 conference is always hard because the crowds are loud and the teams are very talented. Iowa State has won 14 games in a row by playing great defense and sharing the ball well. If they can win in such a hostile environment, it will prove to everyone that they are one of the best teams in the nation. Baylor is known for playing fast and having many players who can score, so the Cyclones will have to be at their best.
Arizona is also 14-0 and is heading back home to play against Kansas State. Arizona has been one of the most exciting teams to watch because they score a lot of points and have many athletic players. They rarely seem to struggle, even when other teams play them closely. Their home arena is a very difficult place for visiting teams to win. A victory tonight would keep Arizona at the top of the national rankings and show they are a serious contender for the championship.
Vanderbilt is the third unbeaten team in the spotlight tonight as they host Alabama. This is a huge game for Vanderbilt because Alabama has a very powerful offense with many great shooters. The Vanderbilt fans are expected to make a lot of noise to help their team stay perfect. If the Commodores can win this game, it will show that their hot start to the season is not a fluke. By the end of the night, we will see if these three teams can keep their perfect records or if the pressure finally becomes too much.
