2019 Gonzaga Basketball Predictions: Zags Once Again Title Contender
by Trevor Whenham - 11/4/2019

Gonzaga has been so good for so long now that we just take it for granted. Of course, they are ranked in the Top 10. But when you take a step back and really look at what is going on, it actually becomes very striking. The team had two players taken in the first 21 picks of the NBA Draft and has only one starter from last year back.

2019 Maryland Basketball Predictions: Terps will be in Big Ten Mix
by Trevor Whenham - 11/4/2019

Maryland went into the offseason last year looking like a team that could potentially make things at least a little interesting. But they inexplicably lost their Big Ten Tournament opener against a terrible Nebraska team. And then they narrowly beat Belmont in the NCAA Tournament opener, before falling just short of an upset against No. 3 LSU when the Tigers sunk a last-second shot to win. Opportunities were missed.

2019 Big 12 Predictions: Kansas Should Regain Control of League
by Robert Ferringo - 10/30/2019

The Big 12 is the best college basketball conference in the country. Period. That's not just my opinion. According to advanced metrics, the league has rated as No. 1 in the sport for six years running. The Big 12 has put seven teams into the Big Dance four of the past six seasons and last year produced the preseason No. 1 (Kansas) and the national runner-up (Texas Tech).

2019 Big East Predictions: League Should be All-Out War
by Robert Ferringo - 10/30/2019

Last year may have been the proverbial step back before a step forward. And this season the Big East is loaded. I can see as many as seven of the league's 10 teams competing for an NCAA Tournament bid, and everyone in the league, except for St. John's, comes into the season with a realistic chance of going to a postseason tournament.

2019 AAC Predictions: Memphis Leads the Way in Search of National Championship
by Robert Ferringo - 10/30/2019

The American Athletic Conference still sits in limbo between power conferences and mid-major leagues, and the AAC is still trying to find its place in college basketball's national hierarchy. Well, if this league is ever going to seize national respect, this is the year to do it.

2020 Florida Gators NCAA Basketball National Championship Odds with Predictions
by Trevor Whenham - 10/29/2019

The Florida Gators didn't exactly fall off a cliff after their last Final Four appearance in 2014, but they haven't been living up to the expectations of a program that is only a dozen years removed from consecutive national titles, either. They missed the tournament entirely in 2015 and 2106, made the Elite Eight in 2017, and then fell in the second round the last two years.

2020 Michigan State Championship Odds: Spartans Take Traditional Approach in Pursuit of Title
by Trevor Whenham - 10/28/2019

The Michigan State Spartans are easy for some people to root for because they represent an almost old-fashioned approach to team building. They don't chase five-star one-and-done players - likely because they wouldn't land them if they did chase them. Instead, they recruit smart players and let them develop at their own pace.

2020 Kentucky Championship Odds: Wildcats Bring in Another Top Recruiting Class
by Trevor Whenham - 10/28/2019

Stop me if you have heard this before - a ridiculously deep recruiting class is added to some returning talent to give the Kentucky Wildcats a highly-regarded team that is expected to do big things. It should sound familiar, because it's what happens every year. This year John Calipari has brought in the second-ranked recruiting class, and now his team is ranked second in the preseason poll.

2020 Kansas Championship Odds: Returning Players Have Jayhawks Aimed at Title
by Trevor Whenham - 10/26/2019

For most teams, the season the Kansas Jayhawks last year would have been deemed successful. They went 26-10, and they won a tournament game. Not too bad. But they also finished third in the Big 12, and for a Kansas team that's not just unexpected - it hasn't seemed possible for so long now.

2020 Duke Championship Odds: Reloaded and Chasing Another Title
by Trevor Whenham - 10/25/2019

Everything was set up for it to be a dream season last year for Duke. They had a ridiculously good recruiting class, they won the ACC, and it seemed like they were very serious NCAA Tournament contenders. But things rarely work out quite like they are supposed to, and Duke was upset by Michigan State in what was one heck of an Elite Eight game.

2020 Louisville Championship Odds: Legit Final Four Contender
by Trevor Whenham - 10/25/2019

The best thing that happened to the Cardinals this year was a leg injury. Or at least you can spin it that way. Jordan Nwora had a major breakout season as a sophomore, and the forward was sure to go to the NBA. But a leg injury meant he couldn't work out for NBA teams, so he withdrew from the draft and came back for another year.

Should I Bet on Virginia in the College Basketball National Championship Game?
by Trevor Whenham - 4/8/2019

We are down to the final two. On Saturday, Virginia beat Auburn to make the Final Four. Or, depending on your perspective, you might believe that the referees decided that their selective blindness would benefit the Cavaliers in this case. Either way, they are in the promised land, and that it has happened just a year after the most historically-humiliating loss in tournament history is even more amazing.

Should I Bet on Texas Tech in the College Basketball National Championship Game?
by Trevor Whenham - 4/8/2019

People have looked for all sorts of different ways to express how unique and surprising it is that Texas Tech is in the Championship Game against Virginia on Monday night. My personal favorite is that there were 49 teams that received at least one vote in the preseason AP poll last fall, and Texas Tech was not one of them.
