In his opening statement, UConn head coach Dan Hurley noted that DePaul’s culture is changing and that there is a real atmosphere building at Wintrust Arena. I followed up and asked what surprised him most about this DePaul team in year one under Chris Holtmann:

Any expansion of the NCAA tournaments for this season is growing more unlikely, per comments from executives, including Charlie Baker, who appeared here in DC on Thursday. “Logistics” are likely to push expansion, if adopted, to 2026-27. bit.ly/4macum2

The ACC got rid of two conference games in a "bid to give teams two more spots for marquee nonconference games...." Notre Dame and Miami told us today, No thanks! We will take a couple of more 275+ NET home opponents instead, thank you very much. #ACC
Conversations need to start happening around how the Chicago Sky roster is constructed @KarliBell33 breaks it all down in this week’s episode: youtu.be/Iq0R5nyHIXs?si…
DePaul is listed as one of 22 power conference programs who return both a lead guard (Layden Blocker) and big man (NJ Benson) for 2025-26. The UConn Huskies are the only other Big East program to do so, with Trotter noting this as the most effective form of retention of late.
In each of the last three seasons, at least 20 of the top-30 teams had continuity at lead guard and big man. Basketball is starting to emulate football with certain positions mattering more than others. Digging into this trend and which duos are up next. cbssports.com/college-basket…
