2025-2026 NCAA College Basketball Thread (1 Viewer)

As requested, a new thread for a new season.

Who will knock off the Florida Gators as the new National Champs, or will history repeat itself with Florida going back-to-back!

I posted about Bruce Pearl in the old one, and will move it over here. Surprised about him making the decision to retire this close to the season. Looks like Auburn hiring his son to replace on a permanent basis (and not just interim).

Hopefully he has a farewell BBQ.

Boiler Up!

Super high expectations....let's see.

Cautiously optimistic about the post-Woodson era at Indiana. New coach at least seems to like players who can shoot.

Can't wait for another chalky tournament because all the talent follows the NIL to the top teams. My interest in NCAA hoops has really come down to our annual quarters game here.

Tennessee vs Duke exhibition game in October will be very interesting

Since football season is over....
I'm in.

Michigan opens with Oakland University tonight. I just happened to look at Oakland's schedule. Their first three games are:

at #7 Michigan
at #1 Purdue
at #2 Houston

Holy moly.

I'm looking forward to seeing my vaunted alma mater, the Purple Aces of the University of Evansville, take on the #1 Purdue Boilermakers tonight.

I'm not sure +34.5 is enough.

Yeah your Purple Aces are out gunned so far in the first half.

#1 Boilers looking very good. Braden Smith is picking up where he left off with the passing and the scoring off the dribble, Fletcher Loyer still deadly from behind the 3 point line.
So many very good players on Painter’s team that I think a team made up of Boiler bench players would be a Top 25 team.

Please forgive my early season cockiness .

This Alabama vs St. John's game is wild. Early contender for game of the year if it goes down to the wire.

Labaron Philon is pretty good.

Nice win for Purdue over #8 Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
