Another Feast Week, another buffet of elite nonconference matchups that offers college basketball teams the chance to pad their NCAA tournament résumés with high-quality wins.

The best action will come out of Las Vegas, where 18 of the nation's top teams -- including eight of the AP Top 25 -- will play in the Players Era Festival, which guarantees each participating program $1 million . The marquee matchups include Alabama vs. Gonzaga on Monday and Houston vs. Tennessee on Tuesday, culminating in a championship game on Wednesday.

While the talent is concentrated in the desert, there are still notable matchups elsewhere this Thanksgiving week. ESPN's Myron Medcalf, Jeff Borzello and Joe Lunardi preview nine of the must-watch contests below.

All times in Eastern.
