2025-2026 college basketball

I haven't heard much complaining nationally over what the committee did this year, which is hugely different than with the football committee. Probably what helped is that they did pretty much nothing unexpected. The bracket matrix got the seeds almost exactly the same this year as the actual. I think there were less than five teams that they had off by just one seed, which is practically nothing.

AJ's the Big 12 Freshman of the Year so no surprise he's on the All-Freshman Team, and it's a great one:

All-Freshman Team
Brayden Burries, Arizona*
Koa Peat, Arizona
AJ Dybantsa, BYU*
Kingston Flemings, Houston*
Darryn Peterson, Kansas*
'
That team would probably win the Big 12 and go deep in the tournament. Reminds me ("Gather round yung uns!") of the UCLA freshman team in 65-66 that consisted of Lew Alcindor (pre-name change), Lucius Allen, Lynn Shackleford, Kenny Heitz, and Kent Taylor. Freshmen couldn't play varsity back then, but they did okay as freshmen, winning all of their 21 games by an average of 50+ points and defeating the UCLA Varsity, which had won the previous two NCAA titles, by 25 to start the season.

DePaul the only one from a high major conference. I wonder what that means. Maybe they were avoiding higher profile teams and games.

Way fewer eyes on those teams. No one is TRYING to get caught.

I noticed that, too. Maybe one effect of NIL/revenue sharing is that high major players have more to lose than to gain now.

Authorities say gamblers recruited 39 players on more than 17 Division 1 teams to underperform, placing bets worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and wagering millions across at least 29 games.
