Nov. 27: Nevada at Loyola-Chicago

Location: Gentile Arena in Chicago (Mountain West/Missouri Valley Challenge)

Speaking of rousing rematches from last season, does a Sweet 16 do-over sound intriguing? How about one that featured 137 total points, a go-ahead bucket in the final seconds, and a roller coaster of a ride that included a nearly-epic comeback? We're running that one back on Nov. 27 when Loyola-Chicago -- the Cinderella of the 2018 NCAA Tournament -- rematches with Nevada. This time around, Nevada may be in for some payback. The Wolf Pack are loaded with talent, and come in at No. 6 in the CBS Sports Top 25 (and one). Loyola isn't far off though. It could be a preseason top 25 squad.
