Makes sense given that it’s already August. Still assume the 72 or 76 move is inevitable, but for now - YAY!!.

Let us imagine a world where football is no longer the bullying juggernaut dictating every move in college sports.

CBB having balanced (and common sense/logical) conferences has been one of my biggest hills I'll die on - even if I know that $ will always prevent it. But for this project, I ignored the football $$ and reworked the entire 365-team D1 into rational conferences. A labor of love!.

Think this will be a fun one. Not the best teams or the worst teams - but 3-5 teams each that we find the most interesting / compelling for the upcoming season. Whether it be roster fit, coaching change (or hot seat), etc.

Surprised to see USC/Boise pitted in round 1. Maybe none of the top squads wanted the Chaminade game, and Wazzu said yes? Just a guess. I will 100% still enjoy watching any 8 teams play at the Lahaina Civic Center.

An incredible CBB resource. I am definitely among those still learning about new features, very excited to poke around more with this guide.

PSA I added a landing page to Hoop Explorer: it's more for newcomers, but worth a quick look in case there are features you would use if you knew they existed :)

The most important thing here is that Laurentian University is in Sudbury. So in my head canon, Ngala is boys with Shoresy and the Blueberry Bulldogs.

Laurentian University 5-foot- Point Guard Nginyu Ngala has commited to Kansas University, his agent @peteyannopoulos from @AthletesInPower Sports Management told @TheFieldOf68. Ngala will give the Jayhawks depth at the position. Older, strong, physical, quick point guard who.

With Buzz bringing Pharrel Payne and Solomon Washington with him, the Terps have a distinctly Texas A&M feel to them. That should lead to a high floor, but will the physical onslaught style hold up as well in the brutal Big Ten? Perhaps nomadic Buzz will shift his approach again.

The @3MW_CBB Top 50 team countdown continues with No. 47, Maryland. It’s year one of the Buzz Williams era in College Park and the Terps are well-positioned to be in the NCAAT picture again this season. Subscribe to read the full preview:

The ACC got rid of two conference games in a "bid to give teams two more spots for marquee nonconference games. ". Notre Dame and Miami told us today, No thanks! We will take a couple of more 275+ NET home opponents instead, thank you very much. #ACC
