Throughout the season, we will be posting our College Basketball Seed List to keep you up to date on the teams projected to make it to the big dance and what seed they would be.

A unique thing we’re doing with our Bubble this season is giving a list of potential bid stealers.…

Below are college basketball power rankings of the major conferences, along with some notes. A10 1 Davidson 2 St. Joes 3 Duquesne 4 St. Louis 5 Dayton 6 URI 7 VCU 8 Umass 9 St Bon 10 George Mason 11 La Salle 12 Richmond 13 GW 14 Fordham I still believe Davidson is on top of the A10 after the first week of play strictly because of their experience, but this league may only have one team punch a ticket to the big dance. St. Joes and Duquesne were the only teams that showed at least some promise in the…

Today is a massive opening day for college basketball, and it’s going to be well worth the wait. Obviously, the highlight is the Champions Classic, where Kansas faces Michigan State and Duke faces Kentucky, but I want to dive into a few other games that are intriguing. North Carolina at Wofford Wofford was granted another opportunity for an upset over North Carolina, after they defeated the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill. This time, UNC will travel to Wofford to try and get revenge, but Wofford is strong once again with their star Fletcher Magee returning, who averaged 22.1 ppg…

We have just under one month until College Hoops and I cannot be more excited to get the 2018-19 college basketball season going. On November 6th, the season kicks off with two massive games in the Champions Classic, which will be played on the first day of season for the first time. Michigan State takes on Kansas and Duke faces Kentucky to start the year off with a bang. Throughout the year, I will once again be doing weekly posts covering the entire season.

The Sweet 16 is so insane that in the south region, this is the first time ever that the top four seeds were all out of the tournament this early (Virginia, Cincinnati, Tennessee, Arizona). Enjoy the rankings, but with the way this tournament is going, they will likely mean nothing! Sweet 16 Teams Ranked Villanova Kansas Duke Kentucky Gonzaga Michigan West Virginia Texas Tech Purdue Texas A&M Clemson Loyola Chciago  Nevada Florida State Kansas State Syracuse Sweet 16 Notes The Villanova Wildcats have dominated in the NCAA…
