College Basketball Season 2024-2025

The Big12 is a buzzsaw. It could be the toughest league in the country this season. They could look very good and still finish 6-9.

My guess (and I'm not always the best guesser) is that they'll be a home court hero. They'll beat a couple of highly ranked teams at home, but then lose road games to people in the bottom 3rd of the league. If they can't win at Villanova tonight, it's probably a sign that they'll win almost no road games in conference.

I dont know how you're very good and finish under .500 in your league. Yes, a tough league no doubt but with agood coach and roster you should be able to win 11 or 12 games

Over half the league finished .500 or better last year

I suppose it's all relative. If DePaul were to go 8-12 in the Big East, I would call that "very good" for Chris Holtmann. If Xavier does that, we'll all say it was terrible, and rightfully so.

Considering the shape UC was in when Miller got there, and considering how strong the Big 12 was last year, I at least think they did okay. They definitely showed signs of progress.

8 (73%) of 11 Big East teams finished above .500 overall last year, and 7 (64%) finished at .500 or better in Conference. 3 bids.

Our Challenge games against the B12 this year will be HUGE. We need to win more than half.

Looking at the matchups, i think we are going to do well to win 4. Hope I'm wrong.

Looking at the match-ups, the Big East may fail to win even that many. I think there is a better chance of the Big East winning zero than there is of them winning half. I hope I'm wrong too. I'm wrong a lot, but rarely am I wrong when I want to be.

Yeah, I agree....there are 11 games so they won't win half :) . In all seriousness though, I think there is about 1% chance they will win more than 5.

I can see a path to 6 but it's tough. Go 1-1 tonight.

UCONN, Marquette, X, SJU and Seton Hall.

I feel good saying that uc is way overrated at this point.
