College Basketball Season 2024-2025

One could make a pretty compelling case that Kenny Payne wasn't very good at his job.

Was not sure where to put this. South Florida HC Amir Rahim has passed away from an illness. He was in his early 40’s. X fans remember him from when he coached Kennesaw State in the tournament. Very sad.

I cannot believe it. He was a rock star as a coach, he was an awesome human being, and it’s just unbelievably sad. He apparently told very few people he was even sick. He was a rising star that had already risen pretty high. I’m just completely stunned.

He turned a 1-win Kennesaw State team into an NCAA Tournament team in 3 years; he was also getting ready to build South Florida into an NCAA Tournament program. Very sad story here.

I hate that the season now starts on a Monday, and will soon start even earlier. The Second Friday in November seemed like a good day to start. I know it hadn't been set on that date for THAT long, but once they did set it, it just kind of felt right. The CBB season will now begin with over 200 games, most of which are complete crap, and at the same time as MNF. That just seems less than ideal, doesn't it??

It will be an excellent distraction from election madness, so I think it's a GREAT thing college basketball starts early this particular year.

This might be my favorite preview of the upcoming season:

The Mack attack begins his new campaign today at noon. Jumped on the -2.5 line

That's actually one of the few games that looks like it will be halfway decent today.

There are 199 games being played today, which is by far the most of any day of the season. A friend of mine somehow figured that at 8:30pm tonight, there will be over 140 games going on at the same time.

And most of that will be complete and total crap.

Wichita State at Western Kentucky should be one of the good matchups. I expect both of those teams to be pretty decent, but I'd expect WKU to prevail at home.
