We look at and discuss all the teams in the Pac 12.  UCLA had a tremendous end to a decent season where they made it all the way to the Final Four after being one of the last teams selected for the NCAA Tournament.  All five starters are back, and they appear to be a national title contender this year.  Oregon is another team that appears to be very strong.  Arizona has a new coach, but still has some strong pieces.  Colorado also has a lot of potential this year.  Oregon State had an amazing run to the Elite Eight, and we discuss whether or not we think they can build on that.  All that, and much more!

Happy College Basketball Season!! (sort of)

Posted on October 20, 2021 by David Griggs

The first open exhibition game of the 2021-2022 season takes place tonight between the Miami Hurricanes and Nova Southeastern.  It a game that will likely be a huge mismatch, and it’s a game that technically doesn’t mean anything, but it is the first college basketball game of any kind involving a div1 team that has been played since last year’s championship game between Gonzaga and Baylor.  It also marks a stretch where there is at least one college basketball game every day until the Monday after Selection Sunday, which means are currently at the moment where we have the longest expanse of college basketball ahead of us!  So, on that note, HAPPY COLLEGE BASKETBALL SEASON!!!

CLICK HERE for a list of all open exhibition games.  Links are provided for live streams, live stats, or radio streams if there are any available.  Tonight’s game will actually air on ACCN Plus, so if you’re a subscriber you can watch it!

We discuss all 11 schools in the Big East, and talk about how Villanova once again appears to be the clear favorite and looks to be a top ten caliber team.  UConn is another top 25 team to keep an eye on, and may have one of their better teams in years.  From there, it is a bit of a toss up and there isn’t much consensus.  Saint John’s looks like they may have a strong team, Providence has some good pieces as well, Xavier has started strong the past few seasons but tapered off down the stretch and may end up doing the same thing again, Seton Hall has a team that could end up in the field, and much more!
