It’s September and that means it’s time for the 2024-25 Locked On College Basketball Team Previews. We kick it off with Bill Self’s Kansas Jayhawks who are looking for a big bounceback after going 10-8 in the Big 12 last year.

A survey of 100+ college basketball coaches resulted in 65% in favor of expanding the NCAA Tournament, splitting the vote between a 72 and 76 team field, with 35% in favor of things staying as they are. We discuss the merits of all three options and the varying opinions of the coaches surveyed, including some who wanted to do away with play-in games, some who wanted to make space for more mid-majors, and more!Last year college basketball had one ranked matchup in Week 1, between Duke and Arizona,

The inaugural Players Era Festival (the NIL-backed MTE which will take place during Thanksgiving week in Las Vegas) has finally released all the details.

The event will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday of Thanksgiving week with eight teams playing a round-robin format against the other three teams in their pod.

The Big 12 conference met with Big 12 presidents on Monday to share UConn’s presentation as part of considering inclusion into the conference. According to reports from CBS’ Dennis Dodd, had a vote occurred on Monday, six would have said yes, two would have said “no”, and we don’t know about the other eight. However, we do know that for acceptance, UConn needs 12 of the 16 to say “yes”.Tennessee released their non-con on Friday and includes true road games at Louisville and at Illinois. Rick Barnes

2024/08/26

Talks have ramped up again between UConn and the Big 12 or at least specifically UConn and Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark. Will we see the train get further down the tracks than we did between the Big 12 and Gonzaga last summer? The Huskies leaving the Big East would be brutal for the conference. Creighton has added 6’6 wing Fedor Zugic from Montenegro. Zugic *should* contend for a starting role for the Blue Jays, who had one of the lowest bench usage rates in the nation last season.Villanova

Isaac Schade takes you through three schedules he thinks are the toughest (We see you Florida Gators) and which are the easiest (what’s up Vols?).Speaking of Tennessee, the 2024 Jimmy V Classic details were revealed on Wednesday.

2024/08/19

Class of 2025 center Malachi Moreno announced his commitment to the University of Kentucky. Retaining Moreno’s services, keeping an in-state player, is a big step for Coach Mark Pope as he and his staff works to establish themselves. What will Moreno’s commitment signify about UK’s 2025 class? AJ Dybantsa is the number one high school player in America, regardless of class. He recently cut his schools to a top seven of Auburn, Alabama, Baylor, BYU, Kansas, Kansas St, and UNC. Check out the article

The North Carolina Tar Heels made a late addition in the transfer portal in Tyzhaun Claude, a 6'8 forward from Georgia Tech who recently had his waiver approved from the NCAA for a final season of eligibility. Claude joins Ven-Allen Lubin (Vanderbilt) as newcomers in Hubert Davis' frontcourt, and we wonder if the loss of Armando Bacot will force the Tar Heels to play a faster, smaller play style in the ACC this season.Next we discuss the CBS candid coaches segment, where 100 plus Division 1 coaches

Houston’s 11-game non-conference schedule for 2024-25 is out and it includes games against Auburn (neutral) and Alabama (Player’s Era Festival) and not much else. There are no true road games. A year after the Big 12 came under fire for their weak non-conference scheduling, it would have been nice to see Houston’s improve. That said, Kelvin Sampson, LJ Cryer, and company should come into Big 12 play with a strong record. By comparison to Indiana’s non-con slate, however, Houston’s looks downright

Coach Mike Krzyzewski was on Rich Eisen’s show earlier this week and said he thinks UConn head coach Dan Hurley is maybe the top leader in college basketball right now. Is that true?
