Our thanks to our listeners for making this by far our biggest year yet of Shootarounds. Today’s finale focuses on a team that made last year’s NCAA tourney but should improve this year. Play along at the start of the show and try to guess the team alongside Norlander, who also went in blind and learned which team won after we hit record.

There's only one question swirling around the North Carolina Men's Basketball Program -- What will it take for Hubert Davis to keep his job? Surrounded by an 11-million-dollar roster and a mandate to win, or else. What will the Tarheels do this season with that much pressure on the head of the operation? Joe Ovies joins Gary Parrish to give a boots-on-the-ground perspective of the situation going on in Chapel Hill.

For the last two seasons, the Kansas Jayhawks have been just ... there. Not a team vying for a national championship, not even one of the 15 best teams in the sport. Just another team that drifted into the background — and was a letdown. For most schools, this would be understandable. Not in Lawrence. Enter Darryn Peterson and a crew of freshmen and transfer portal talent to revive the standard at Phog Allen. How will the Jayhawks fare this season? Norlander brings on C.J. Moore of The Athletic to get a deeper look at KU, including the latest on Bill Self's health.

02:52 - Status update on Bill Self

10:16 - Kansas won't start out 2025-2026 as a top-10 team (and that's a good thing)

36:21 - Regular Season Win Predictions!

44:54 - Will the Big 12 be better, worse, or the same this season?

Louisville ranks among the most interesting teams heading into the season; it's no surprise the Cards get back into the Summer Shootaround mix. Pat Kelsey's making good noise at a program that's returned to respectability. Norlander is joined on this episode by Mark Ennis, a local radio host in Louisville who knows the program inside and out. Mikel Brown Jr. is the guy who's got Cards fans amped, but there's enough here to believe U of L could be a top-10 team.

05:21 - Kelsey in Year 1

13:00 - Who's Gone, Who's Back, Who's New for the Cards
