Take a breather, Chicago sports fans. All our teams are off today. You'll need the rest come Sunday, when the Bears and Blackhawks both play during the day (and yes, the Blackhawks game, which starts at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, should be just about over by the time the Bears and Packers kick off). In the meantime, college hoops heads today's schedule; all the games listed here feature at least one Top 25 team.
