Year Of The Freshmen
As practices begin to open in college basketball, the curtain lifts on perhaps the best -- and certainly one of the most talked about -- freshmen classes ever.

Northwestern has never played in the NCAA tournament, and the gallows humor of its fans reflects that fact. But then Chris Collins showed up. And now everything just feels different. Will it be?
Top-25 teams with PG concerns
It's difficult to win a national title without a quality point guard. Let's take a look at the top-25 teams that have legit concerns at the position.
Would a big-boy breakaway affect tourney?
The basketball tournament is the financial crown jewel of the NCAA. But could a possible schism in college sports affect the beloved March institution?

His son is a head coach for the first time. His career has been long and successful. Why not just retire? Tubby Smith -- re-energized and ready to make Texas Tech a winner again -- scoffs at the notion.

SUMMER SHOOTAROUND
As we take a conference tour, check out the players, teams and games to watch -- and predictions, too.
