2025-26 CBB Season

[Memnon]

With the start of the CBB season last night & the rest of the week, I figured I'd start the general CBB thread since there isn't one yet.

Already a big upset in the season opener with Arizona beating the defending Champs UF.







Auburn also had a near scare, going to OT with Bethune Cookman.




UCF, Milwaukee, Colorado, Oregon ST, UCLA, Ohio ST, Xavier & Georgia Tech, all had close near upset games in their openers.




New Orleans actually did manage to pull off the upset on TCU.

Hawaii Pacific also upset Boise ST.

Idaho also was able to beat Wash ST

Duke vs Texas set to tip off in minutes in the ****ie V classic.

Get to see the first look at the Boozer twins.

Oregon should have lost to Hawaii

GT looked awful on offense against Maryland-Eastern Shore. Only shot 35% for the game and 5-26 (19%) on their threes.

Good think I didn’t have Fresno State as my last leg on a 3 team parlay last night or anything smh

UF looking to bounce back tonight vs North FL.

Also get another look at Louisville, who appears primed to go on a deep tourney run in Pat Kelsey's 2nd season.

Other than Duke, they might be the toughest out in the ACC.

I think this is the 2nd D2 win vs D1 school this season

UNC with a big early season upset victory over Kansas.

It appears UNC may be back this year.

Commentary made a point that UNC is a much bigger team this year, last season 4 guys under 6’2 and no one taller than 6’10.

This season 2 guys 6’2 or shorter and 5 guys 6’10 or taller, not that height equals skill but a top program like UNC should be a bigger team

It’s very early and most of the games have been nobodies, but the ACC looks better than I expected.

FSU, Clemson, Pitt, Notre Dame & UVA all played well today.

NC ST's Guard play looks like it's going to be a nightmare to contend with Defensively.

Caleb Wilson & Veesaar are going to be tough matchups.

On the bright side, UNC doesn't appear to have much depth.

Will Wade always has good teams, if he can keep his hands clean NC State will be humming
