What makes Purdue’s veteran core different this year?

Can Houston finally turn defense into a title?

Is Florida built to repeat?

Which freshmen — AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Nate Ament — will make the biggest impact?

Who’s the sleeper built to bust brackets before March?

From NIL chaos to the rise of new coaches, Dave, Seth, and Clark break down the Top 10, circle the early statement games, and is it too early to deliver their Final Four and Player of the Year picks.
