#3 Kentucky (7-1) at #4 Baylor (7-1) headlines tonight's college basketball games that also feature #9 Oklahoma State versus South Carolina and #12 Connecticut versus Maine. The 'Cats and Bears tip off around 10:00 p.m. EST. Live radio broadcast here.

They'll play in Baylor's home state and in one of the biggest arenas in the world, AT&T Stadium, or the home field of the Dallas Cowboys. The stadium will also host this year's Final Four, a fact of which both coaches are aware.

"We aren't going to have 80,000 (fans) there but my hope is that because of the games that are being played there, everybody is ranked, it's going to be a terrific environment," Kentucky head coach John Calipari said.

Workers can only do so much to convert the enormous football stadium and its famously suspended television monitor into something resembling a basketball court.

 "I haven't been in the building but everybody tells me it's just ridiculous," Calipari said. "They are moving the court to one side, but the court will be raised, so it will be like that kind of environment. I am excited."

Once the sight of a basketball court within a football field loses its magic, there should still be a pretty good game on display. Baylor's only loss this year came against #4 Syracuse, though they've had some close calls with unheralded programs like Dayton (67-66), South Carolina (66-64), and Charl Southern (69-64). But early season, non-conference can be pesky; the Bears will get a free pass for those near losses if they at least put up another good fight against a top five team in Kentucky.

Kentucky's record has been mostly spot-free (Calipari "predicted" the loss to Michigan State), though they haven't yet looked like a team with the top ranked high school player at three positions.

Before the season, Calipari complained about his team's tough pre-conference schedule. It's hard to sympathize, but it's also hard to fault him. After the Bears, the Wildcats will play North Carolina (fresh off an upset of #1 Michigan State) and #7 Louiseville before starting SEC play, which, fortunately for Calipari, is one of the weakest major conferences in college basketball.
