In this most festive of weeks, the Weavers gather 'round their table and dig into the cornucopia of hoops being sent our way. We give detailed thoughts on the Maui Invitational teams, hat tip the champions of Feast Week so far, and give some general musings on the week that has been - plus look ahead to the weekend briefly...

The Champions Classic cameth and wenteth and we were in the flesh (in the nosebleeds) for the all the action. However, every program is a champion in our hearts, and we touch on many in another electrifying 'sode.

Tip-off of the season is mere days away!! Thus, the Weavers donned Halloween costumes and gathered to do some forecasting: best odds to win the title & best conference champ odds, All-American teams, and of course: Final Four and national champion picks. Will all three fall prey to Duke brainwashing, or is there a Weave resistance? Is Zach Edey going to easily lumber to another Wooden Award? If not, who can stop him? And should all be betting on...Bellarmine (?!) to win the ASUN at 20/1?? Answers abound as we stare into our crystal ball...

The boys sit around the campfire and break down the Big Bad Big Ten. Will this be the season of NCAA Tournament success? Can Northwestern repeat a Tourney berth? Will Michigan get back on the horse? Can anyone stop Purdue? All these questions, and more, shall be answered.

This week, the Weave is talking Big East - aka the most fun power conference last year. Will the upper echelon (and Bill Raftery, and John Fanta, and Gus Johnson) continue to provide us with high-level, competitive games? We sure hope so! Will UConn continue to give wedgies to all nonconference foes? What's better: Rick Pitino with a mid-major all-star roster, or Kyle Neptune with a fully loaded one? What about Kim English with a high-upside group? How will Xavier handle all the injuries? And what about the likely bottom four...

A power conference by pedigree, the ACC has lost its bite recently, despite housing multiple blue bloods. The Weave's bearish undertones on the league are evident throughout but don't let that deter you from stopping by for an outrageously insightful roundtable discussion!

The SEC... it just means more! 

The boys take a stroll through the south and dive deep into all 14 teams. Will Kentucky be good? Will South Carolina climb out of the cellar? Will Mizzou win the whole dang thing? The answer could be "yes" to all...
