The men's college basketball season is underway, with numerous storylines to follow as teams vie for a chance at the Final Four. Defending champions UConn aim for their own three-peat, albeit with a roster that has lost key players to the NBA, though they have bolstered their lineup with top recruits like Liam McNeely. Duke's freshman standout Cooper Flagg, a highly touted recruit, is anticipated to make a significant impact this season. Texas A&M opens their season against UCF, led by veterans Henry Coleman and Jace Carter, while Colorado faces Eastern Washington in their season opener. This season promises to be unpredictable, with potential for upsets and emerging contenders as teams begin their journeys toward March Madness.
