Pac-12's bold move: Adding four Mountain West schools, including San Diego State and Boise State, to revitalize the conference. Can this new lineup restore its power conference status?

Jon Scheyer moves into his third year as the head coach of the Duke Blue Devils and this is likely his most complete team, with strong capability on both the offensive and defensive side of the court.

Tyrese Proctor and Caleb Foster are back and joined by the talented freshman class along with multiple experienced transfer players coming in.

Duke’s non-conference schedule features five great games against high-major opponents – Kentucky, AT Arizona, Kansas, Illinois, and Auburn. Is this the year Jon Scheyer makes the Final 4 as a coach?

Baylor has had a wild string of sustained success in the Scott Drew era, unlike anything it had ever seen before. The Bears have 18 straight seasons of 15+ wins, with 20+ in 15 of those seasons. The problem is that Baylor loses their top three scorers and four starters. How will Scott Drew, who spurned Louisville and Kentucky to stay in Waco, replace all that production? Enter Jeremy Roach (Duke transfer) and Norchad Omier (Miami transfer) who both bring Final 4 experience to the team. Not to mention a wildly talented freshman class headlined by VJ Edgecombe. Baylor, the only team in America to have a top three NCAA Tournament seed each of the last four tournaments, should have no problem sticking around at the tip top of the sport!

The Creighton Bluejays eye Final Four glory with Ryan Kalkbrenner leading the charge. Can Greg McDermott's squad finally break through and make the Final Four of the 2025 NCAA Tournament?

The Iowa State Cyclones, under the leadership of TJ Otzelberger in his fourth year, are coming off one of the best seasons in program history. The Cyclones racked up 29 wins, finished second in the Big 12 behind Houston, won the Big 12 Tournament in convincing fashion, grabbed a two-seed in the NCAA Tournament, and made the Sweet 16 for the second time in the Otzelberger era. The Cyclones return their top four scorers – Tamin Lipsey, Keshon Gilbert, Milan Momcilovic, and Curtis Jones, all of whom averaged double-digits. Will the Cyclones be able to replicate, or even build on, last year’s success?

The ACC has two premier college basketball powerhouses in the Duke Blue Devils and North Carolina Tar Heels. In our conference preview, we discuss the identity of the conference now that programs like Florida State, Syracuse, and Louisville are coming off rough stretches, and whether Duke or UNC could bring a national championship back to the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Penny Hardaway fired three of his assistant coaches and one staff member for the Memphis Tigers, barely two months until the start of the 2024-25 college basketball season. With just two NCAA Tournament appearances in six years, and tons of roster turnover and off the court issues, it's fair to wonder if Hardaway's seat is warming at Memphis.

Alabama is fresh off its first-ever Final Four run in 2023-24. But Nate Oats’ team will be even better this year with the return of Mark Sears, Grant Nelson, Jarin Stevenson, and Latrell Wrightsell, plus the addition of transfers like Cliff Omoruyi (Rutgers), Chris Youngblood (South Florida), Houston Mallette (Pepperdine), and Aden Holloway (Auburn) and the influx of talented freshmen like Derrion Reid and Aiden Sherrell. The Crimson Tide have loaded up with a difficult non-conference schedule including games AT Purdue and North Carolina as well as games against Houston, Creighton, and Illinois. The SEC schedule will be challenging as well. How will Nate Oats manage his depth? Will he start a quintet entirely made up of 5th-year players? What will account for a successful postseason?

Mark Few and the Gonzaga Bulldogs have been to the Sweet 16 nine straight NCAA Tournaments, and have gone dancing every year since 199. Is this the year the Zags finally break through and win the National Championship? The team only lost one key contributor, Anton Watson, while returning Ryan Nembhard, Nolan Hickman, Graham Ike, Ben Gregg, Braden Huff, and Dusty Stromer - and adding Michael Ajayi and Khalif Battle via the transfer portal.

It’s September and that means it’s time for the 2024-25 Locked On College Basketball Team Previews. We kick it off with Bill Self’s Kansas Jayhawks who are looking for a big bounceback after going 10-8 in the Big 12 last year. Hunter Dickinson, DaJuan Harris, and KJ Adams are all returning plus a loaded incoming transfer class headlined by Wisconsin’s AJ Storr. That’s not to make any mention of incoming freshmen Rakease Passmore and Flory Bidunga. The Big 12 adds Arizona, Arizona St., Colorado, and Utah, but we fully expect Kansas to be right back at the top of the conference. The Jayhawks also have a loaded non-conference schedule that includes six high major opponents, including Duke, North Carolina, Michigan State, and Creighton.

A survey of 100+ college basketball coaches resulted in 65% in favor of expanding the NCAA Tournament, splitting the vote between a 72 and 76 team field, with 35% in favor of things staying as they are. We discuss the merits of all three options and the varying opinions of the coaches surveyed, including some who wanted to do away with play-in games, some who wanted to make space for more mid-majors, and more!

The inaugural Players Era Festival (the NIL-backed MTE which will take place during Thanksgiving week in Las Vegas) has finally released all the details. We already knew most things, but didn’t have specifics or concrete locked-in information on most things. The event will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday of Thanksgiving week with eight teams playing a round-robin format against the other three teams in their pod. The Impact MTE includes Alabama, Houston, Notre Dame, and Rutgers while the Power MTE has Creighton, Oregon, San Diego State, and Texas A&M. Gonzaga will be without Steele Venters due to injury…for the second straight season. On the other coast, North Carolina will be without reserve sophomore forward Zayden High this season.

Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats rebuilt an entire roster this offseason following John Calipari's departure to Arkansas, and now that the dust has settled we talk with Lance Dawe about how BBN is feeling about the hire and project the lineup and rotation in Lexington for the 2024-25 college basketball season.

The Big 12 conference met with Big 12 presidents on Monday to share UConn’s presentation as part of considering inclusion into the conference. According to reports from CBS’ Dennis Dodd, had a vote occurred on Monday, six would have said yes, two would have said “no”, and we don’t know about the other eight. However, we do know that for acceptance, UConn needs 12 of the 16 to say “yes”. Tennessee released their non-con on Friday and includes true road games at Louisville and at Illinois. Rick Barnes is once again going to be tested and ready come SEC play. The Players Era Festival is potentially in trouble with the NCAA…what a shock!

Talks have ramped up again between UConn and the Big 12 or at least specifically UConn and Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark. Will we see the train get further down the tracks than we did between the Big 12 and Gonzaga last summer? The Huskies leaving the Big East would be brutal for the conference. Creighton has added 6’6 wing Fedor Zugic from Montenegro. Zugic *should* contend for a starting role for the Blue Jays, who had one of the lowest bench usage rates in the nation last season. Villanova released their non-conference schedule over the weekend. There are games against Virginia, Maryland, and Cincinnati, but there’s really not much else. Is this a move to help save Kyle Neptune’s job?

ESPN revealed the matchups, dates, times, and TV schedule for nine different multi-team events taking place in the non-conference portion of the 2024-25 college basketball season, and we rank all nine events and predict winners for each.

The SEC revealed the 2024-25 conference schedule of games on Tuesday (minus tip times and TV and specification on most Tuesday/Wednesday assignments). As per usual, on paper, some teams have harder or easier schedules. Isaac Schade takes you through three schedules he thinks are the toughest (We see you Florida Gators) and which are the easiest (what’s up Vols?). Speaking of Tennessee, the 2024 Jimmy V Classic details were revealed on Wednesday. The first game on December 10 will feature Miami and Tennessee, followed by Michigan and Arkansas in the second game, all taking place inside Madison Square Garden and on ESPN. Arizona State is coming to Cameron Indoor Stadium for an exhibition game, meaning that Bobby Hurley is coming back!

John Calipari returns to Lexington on February 1 to face the Kentucky Wildcats as the new head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks in one of the most exciting conference matchups of the season. Who is feeling more pressure to win this season, Calipari or Mark Pope? And who is feeling more pressure to win this game?

The 2024 Maui Invitational matchups have been reported: UConn will take on Memphis, Michigan State will face Colorado, Johni Broome and Auburn will take on Iowa State's elite defense, and the North Carolina Tar Heels draw the Dayton Flyers.

Class of 2025 center Malachi Moreno announced his commitment to the University of Kentucky. Retaining Moreno’s services, keeping an in-state player, is a big step for Coach Mark Pope as he and his staff works to establish themselves. What will Moreno’s commitment signify about UK’s 2025 class? AJ Dybantsa is the number one high school player in America, regardless of class. He recently cut his schools to a top seven of Auburn, Alabama, Baylor, BYU, Kansas, Kansas St, and UNC. Check out the article from Adam Zagoria in which he interviews AJ’s dad Ace to get the skinny on all seven schools including NIL and shoe deal intel.

Jon Scheyer and the Duke Blue Devils proved they are willing to play anyone with a highly competitive non-conference schedule, which includes five programs inside Bart Torvik's top 25: Kansas, Kentucky, Auburn, Arizona, and Illinois at Madison Square Garden in February. Is this kind of slate good enough to prepare Cooper Flagg and the rest of Duke's young team for a deep run in March?

The North Carolina Tar Heels made a late addition in the transfer portal in Tyzhaun Claude, a 6'8 forward from Georgia Tech who recently had his waiver approved from the NCAA for a final season of eligibility. Claude joins Ven-Allen Lubin (Vanderbilt) as newcomers in Hubert Davis' frontcourt, and we wonder if the loss of Armando Bacot will force the Tar Heels to play a faster, smaller play style in the ACC this season.

Houston’s 11-game non-conference schedule for 2024-25 is out and it includes games against Auburn (neutral) and Alabama (Player’s Era Festival) and not much else. There are no true road games. A year after the Big 12 came under fire for their  weak non-conference scheduling, it would have been nice to see Houston’s improve. That said, Kelvin Sampson, LJ Cryer, and company should come into Big 12 play with a strong record. By comparison to Indiana’s non-con slate, however, Houston’s looks downright difficult. The Hoosiers host South Carolina and will play in the Battle 4 Atlantis (Bracket not yet revealed), but outside of that hos seven buy games. Given that Mike Woodson’s club projects to be a strong club, we would love to see a more challenging schedule. The Baha Mar Bahamas event has their best field to date – Baylor, St. John’s, Tennessee, and Virginia. Not to mention what a loaded quarter of coaches that includes: Scott Drew, Rick Pitino, Rick Barnes, and Tony Bennett.

UNC-Asheville Head Coach Mike Morrell joins the show to discuss the upcoming season and how the Bulldogs are preparing, particularly after losing best-player-in-program history Drew Pember. What is Pember’s legacy at UNC-A? How will Coach Morrell and staff maintain success in this era where continuity is more difficult than ever? Why exactly has UNC-A been so consistently good and improving year-over-year under Coach Morrell? What impact did Coach Shaka Smart have on Coach Morrell?

Kansas got good news on Friday evening when Northern Illinois transfer David (Diggy) Coit committed to the Jayhawks. Coit brings his 20 points a game to an already deep backcourt – working to make up for last year’s lack of production at the shooting guard position. It’s the second offseason in a row that Bill Self has added a player later in the summer (Johnny Furphy in 2023). The Olympics are over and Team USA won gold on the men’s and women’s side by sneaking by the homestanding French team. Three different Kentucky Wildcats bring home golds (Anthony Davis, Bam Adebayo, and Devin Booker). What other teams and conferences won gold in Paris? What younger players might represent Team USA in Los Angeles in 2028? Andy Patton and Isaac Schade look ahead.

14 power conference college basketball programs hired a new head coach this offseason, who among them are we most excited to watch this upcoming season? We pick one from each conference, starting with Kentucky's Mark Pope in the SEC, who narrowly edged out John Calipari at Arkansas. Staying in the same carousel we discuss Kevin Young replacing Pope at BYU in the Big 12.

Coach Mike Krzyzewski was on Rich Eisen’s show earlier this week and said he thinks UConn head coach Dan Hurley is maybe the top leader in college basketball right now. Is that true? We’ve lost several key leaders in recent years – Coach K, Roy Williams, Jay Wright to name a few. Has Coach Hurley ascended to that role or are others like Bill Self, Tom Izzo, Mark Few ahead of him? Texas A&M released their non-conference schedule and it’s a challenging slate for Buzz Williams’ club. Villanova got some more help this week in the form of Alabama transfer Kris Parker committing. Parker red-shirted last year in in Tuscaloosa and has four years of eligibility. Kyle Guy is retiring from professional basketball to come back to be part of the staff at Virginia. Can he help re-ignite the Wahoo offense?

AJ Dybantsa, the top high school recruit in the country, has a top seven that includes Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, BYU, Kansas, Kansas State, and North Carolina. BYU is the outlier, but with an unofficial visit already under his belt, an official expected to be set, and transferring to play his final high school season in Utah, it sure looks like Kevin Young's team is a legit player in the Dybantsa sweepstakes.

The college basketball transfer portal had thousands of players change teams this offseason, many who will make a huge impact at their next program. Who are the best transfers joining a new program NOT among the Power-5 conferences? We discuss transfers coming into Gonzaga, Memphis, Saint Louis, Grand Canyon, and Temple.

It’s Transfer week at Locked On College Basketball! We’re looking at each of the Power 5 conferences as well as a “best of the rest”. Throughout the week we’ll look at the ACC (Monday), Big 12 (Tuesday), Big East (Wednesday), Big Ten (Thursday), and SEC (Friday). Don’t miss a second.

The North Carolina Tar Heels released their 2024-25 college basketball non-conference schedule, with matchups set against Kansas, Alabama, Florida, and UCLA in addition to the Maui Invitational. Seeing a prominent program be willing to go on the road to face the Jayhawks, and generally play a tough schedule, is a welcome sight in the modern era.

Ohio State released their non-conference schedule on Monday, which is mostly complete. The Buckeyes still have one more non-conference game to add which will be a neutral site contest. Coach Diebler’s first non-conference schedule has some nice high-level matchups, including the highest-profile opening day matchup we’ll get: Ohio State vs. Texas in Las Vegas. Colorado also released their non-con schedule this week and it’s decidedly less challenging. Of the 11 games, eight are at home, all of which are against mid- or low-major teams. The Buffs’ shift back into the Big 12 and the loss of a talented core are the likely reasons for the weak non-con slate. Oklahoma adds again (twice!) and Florida State gets a 2025 commit to re-class and come now.

The 2023 freshman class was considered among the weakest in recent memory, but plenty of rising sophomores could be in line for major breakouts this upcoming college basketball season. We discuss 10 of them on today's show, all who transferred to new schools and starting with three former Kentucky Wildcats in DJ Wagner, Zvonimir Ivisic, and Aaron Bradshaw.

The Peach Jam 2024 Championship game featured a host of ELITE high school talent, including 2025’s consensus No. 1 (AJ Dybantsa), 2 (Cameron Boozer), 4 (Caleb Wilson), and 17 (Cayden Boozer) plus 2026’s No. 2 (Tyran Stokes). The Boozer twins and Wilson captured the championship with Nightrydas Elite 71-62 over Dybantsa and Stokes’ Oakland Elite. Regardless the outcome of the game, it was a reminder of the sheer talent at the top of the 2025 and 2026 classes. Jeremiah Fears (younger brother of Michigan State’s Jeremy Fears), previously an Illinois commit, has decided to re-classify to 2024 and committed over the weekend to Porter Moser and Oklahoma. Fears will be easily the Sooners’ best incoming freshman. A huge get at this point in the recruiting cycle! How will OU fare as they shift into the SEC?

The college basketball coaching carousel was busy this offseason, with Louisville, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Washington, West Virginia, and DePaul among the many programs letting go of coaches who weren't meeting expectations. This upcoming season may not have quite as many obvious hot seat candidates, but there are still quite a few programs that could make a change if things don't go well in 2024-25.

Purdue released, this week, their non-conference schedule for the 2024-25 season. The year after Zach Edey leaves, you would expect Matt Painter to take his foot off the throttle. Instead, it’s pedal-to-the-metal. Of Purdue’s 11 non-conference games, six are against Power conference opponents. How will Fletcher Loyer and Braden Smith fare now that they don’t have the Big Man to draw all the attention? Kentucky also recently released their 13-game non-conference schedule (SEC only plays 18 conference games). How will Mark Pope’s crew do in Year 1? FSU continues to try and worm their way out of the ACC, but the problem is that they may not have a home if and when they do get out. Brett McMurphy is reporting that neither the SEC or Big Ten wants Florida State.

The NBA Summer League is about halfway done, and so far the 2024 NBA draft class has looked quite a bit better than initially advertised. Top 5 guards Reed Sheppard and Stephon Castle each look excellent in Houston and San Antonio, respectively, while No. 14 overall pick Bub Carrington out of Pitt has been a big time player already.

The ACC is adding three new member institutions in conference realignment for the 2024-25 college basketball season: Stanford and Cal from the former Pac-12 as well as SMU from the AAC.

College basketball rosters are mostly set for the 2024-25 season, including the transfers. As things have settled, who has the best transfer class in each of the five power conferences (ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, SEC)? Which mid-major has the best transfer class? Does John Calipari have a better group of transfers at Arkansas than what Mark Pope has at Coach Cal’s previous school? Has Coach Bill Self put together a group for Kansas that will help him turn around what was his worst Big 12 conference record? Or will someone else in the Big 12 take that mantle – Kansas State, Baylor, Texas Tech perhaps?

The NCAA committee made a few small changes for college basketball heading into next season, notably not coming to any agreement on expanding the NCAA Tournament. However, a pair of new metrics will be used to determine seeding and at-large selections for the Big Dance, including Torvik's predictive data and WAB, or wins above bubble.

The NCAA College Basketball Committee met this week and per CBS’ reporting still has yet to come to a decision on NCAA Tournament expansion. However there is info that will be released on Thursday concerning the NCAA Tournament. We’re beginning to see Olympic basketball rosters be pared down to their finalized 12-player form. As expected, Kentucky has a ton of representation, including Bam Adebayo, Anthony Davis, and Devin Booker playing for USA. The fields for the Paradise Jam and the Diamond Head Classic have been released. In fact, we already have the matchups for the first round of the Paradise Jam (Nov. 22-25): Longwood vs. UAB, Illinois St. vs. McNeese, Louisiana vs. Liberty, and George Washington vs. Kansas St. The field for the Diamond Head Classic (Dec. 22, 23, 25) is Charlotte, Charleston, Hawai’i, Loyola Chicago, Murray St, Nebraska, Oakland, and Oregon St. Join the Locked On College Basketball Discord: https://discord.gg/bsKxDp8Qqb Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-college-basketball/ Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Alabama released their 2024-25 non-conference schedule on Tuesday. With the SEC staying at 18 conference games, the Tide have a 13-game non-con schedule. Head Coach Nate Oats has an incredibly talented squad including Mark Sears, Jarin Stevenson, and Grant Nelson all returning. And it’s a good thing the Tide have that much talent because it’s a really difficult schedule, particularly the middle nine games. Host Isaac Schade provides his predictions for Bama’s regular season record. UConn announced a new contract for head coach Dan Hurley on Monday, which will take the reigning back-to-back national champion coach through the 2029-30 season (six years).

Bart Torvik's updated 2024-25 college basketball projections are out, and we discuss the top 25 programs and a few who just missed the cut. Three Big 12 schools cracked the top four, with Houston at the top followed by Duke, Iowa State, and Kansas.

Incoming Baylor freshman VJ Edgecombe is going to turn a lot of heads this season…not just in Waco…and not just in the Big 12, but at the national level. His performances for the Bahamas in the Olympic qualifiers against grown men and NBA talent (including playing with Buddy Hield and DeAndre Ayton) proves as much. It also helps that Scott Drew is used to handling elite one-and-done-type guards, as does the fact that Jeremy Roach comes in having helped mentor and play alongside that same type of talent the last several years at Duke. Add in Miami’s Norchad Omier and a couple other strong freshmen (Rob Wright, Jason Asemota) and Coach Drew has some great players to complement his returners. Just how will the Bears fare this year? Andy Patton and Isaac Schade discuss!

Conference realignment became official on July 1, and we take a look at which college basketball programs in new conferences have the best chance of succeeding in their first season. Is Tommy Lloyd's Arizona Wildcats team the likeliest bet, even in the crowded Big 12? What about Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks, or even Rodney Terry's new look Texas Longhorns?

The 2025 NBA draft is nearly one full year away, but it's never too early to look at which college basketball stars could be NBA bound at that time. We start with incoming freshman who are expected to be lottery picks, including Duke forward Cooper Flagg, Baylor guard VJ Edgecombe, Tre Johnson from Texas and the pair of Rutgers standouts Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper.

The Big Ten conference officially welcomed four new member institutions this week: the UCLA Bruins, USC Trojans, Oregon Ducks, and Washington Huskies. Can any of those four programs compete to win the league during the 2024-25 college basketball season?

Dalton Knecht burst onto the college basketball scene in 2023-24 and carried Rick Barnes’ Tennessee team at times. Knecht’s rapid ascension to stardom was a blast to watch – from JUCO to Northern Colorado to Tennessee to the Lakers. The question now – who will follow the same path next season? Who are the Knecht Candidates in 2024-25 – players going from a mid-major to power conference team that will blow and potentially even land in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft? Host Isaac Schade gives nine candidates including Chaz Lanier (North Florida to Tennessee), Tucker DeVries (Drake to West Virginia), and Zeke Mayo (South Dakota State to Kansas). With the calendar turning to July, the new conference realignment has taken hold, with the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, and SEC all affected in some way. Learn about the new landscape, plus what the conference schedules and tournaments will look like in the upcoming season. NC State has lost both MJ Rice and Ernest Ross (again) in the past week. The Wolfpack have also added Ismael Diouf.

Arthur Kaluma committed to Texas late last week and likely slots right in as the starting power forward for Rodney Terry’s Longhorns after two years at Creighton and last year at Kansas State. Does his commitment make the conference-changers a contender in the SEC in year 1? The Big 12 announced their conference opponents matrix late last week and there is a good balance of matchups between the presumptive top five teams in Arizona, Baylor, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas. The Big East has announced a new media rights deal that will start in the 2025-26 season, following the expiration of the current deal after 2024-25. This shorter and more-lucrative six-year deal should put the Big East in great shape going forward.
