It’s our first Bracket Rundown of the year!!! Sort of. The bracket is a straight up media bracket. The seedlist was determined by the two main preseason polls, and the auto bids were determined by each conference’s Media Day picks to win the league. We reveal it line by line and show you what it looks like in a bracketed format, and we debate, discuss, and assess each team as we go. We also talk about who we think is overrated, who is underrated, and who missed the field that should have been included.

Below is a final copy of The Bracket, but don’t look at it until you’ve watched the show!!

Chad is joined by David Griggs and John Stalica for the Preseason Under the Radar Special! We run through all 22 UTR conferences and discuss who the preseason favorites are and which teams we feel are worth paying attention to. Miami OH once again looks really strong and we talk about whether or not they can make it back inside the bubble this year. High Point, UC San Diego, and UC Irvine are other teams that we feel could be dangerous. We discuss all that, and much more.

The SEC is perhaps the strongest conference in the nation, and it’s home to Florida, which is perhaps the strongest team in the nation. Chad and the panel look at what is a talent stacked conference with as many as 8 teams that we could see in the Top 25 and as many as 12 teams that could make the NCAA Tournament. Texas has a stacked roster. Tennessee has a very talented roster, but will it fit Rick Barnes’s style? Can Texas A&M surprise some people? Can Arkansas keep pace with the rest of the league with their youth? We run through and assess every team.

Duke is not only the favorites to win the league, but perhaps the favorites to win the national championship. Virginia and Louisville also have excellent teams and we take a close look at those two as well. North Carolina has a new coach and an overhauled roster, so we debate on what kind of a season they might have. Miami FL is a potential dark horse and should be a fun team to watch. We break down the entire conference and run through each team!

The Hoops HD Panel takes a look at a Big 12 Conference that looks to be extremely stacked this year. Arizona was in the Final Four a year ago and looks to be good enough to make a run at making it back this year. Texas Tech is also incredibly talented and is another Final Four contender. As is Houston. That’s three super heavyweights in this league. Other teams to watch are Kansas who has a some of the top freshmen in the country, Cincinnati who is much improved, BYU who once again is really solid, and Iowa State is another team to keep an eye on.

For the Big East Media Day Recap and Response – CLICK HERE

Last year was a bit of a down year for the Big East as a whole with only three teams making the NCAA Tournament, but one of those teams was Connecticut who almost won it all and another was Saint John’s who made a deep run. Both those teams will likely be at the top of the standings again this year, but the rest of the league also appears to be stronger. Teams like Xavier, Marquette, DePaul, Creighton, and Providence all had big offseasons and recruited the portal well. We discuss all 11 teams in the conference and talk about who we think will be dancing this March.

Chad is joined by a full panel for our first conference preview of the year! Michigan State and Illinois are likely Final Four contenders, and despite losing their head coach to the NBA and several key players, defending national champions Michigan also look to be very good. Ohio State and Indiana put together strong rosters out of the portal, Maryland is a potential dark horse, Purdue appears to be a little down, but should still be a strong tournament team, Iowa and Nebraska have good squads. We discuss all that, and more!

Chad is joined by a full panel of experts (and David Griggs) and they discuss what has been a very busy offseason so far. The NCAA Tournament field has expanded to 76 teams (much to our dismay). We also have two new conferences with the UAC and the return of the Pac 12, the Protect College Sports Act is working its way through congress and could go into law during this athletic year, there is a new five-year eligibility rule, and several schools are still uncertain as to what their final rosters will look like given all of the litigation that is going on. We discuss all that, and more!

We recap the regionals, and we start off in the East Region which gave us one of the most exciting finishes in the history of the NCAA Tournament as UConn hit a shot from the parking lot to knock out Duke and advance to the Final Four. Michigan blew past Tennessee in the Midwest, Arizona got past Arkansas and Purdue to win the West and get to their first Final Four since 2001, and Illinois won decisively against Houston and then held off Iowa to win the South. We discuss all that, hear first hand accounts from those who were there, and look ahead to the Final Four.

Chad and the panel review the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. We look at how dominant teams like Houston and Arizona were, Iowa’s big upset over Florida, High Point’s incredible effort in their upset against Wisconsin and near upset against Arkansas, and all of the other action. We also preview the upcoming Sweet Sixteen games and then take a quick look at the NIT.
