College basketball is back! And there’s no consensus favorite:
Houston (+325): Guard Marcus Sasser returns to a rugged crew that reached the Elite 8.
North Carolina (+325): ACC Preseason POY Armando Bacot is pushing (and shoving) for UNC’s all-time rebounding record.
Kentucky (+325): Wooden Award winner/elite rebounder Oscar Tshiebwe returns. John Calipari hasn’t reached a F4 since 2015.
Gonzaga (+325): At age 22, Drew Timme will AGAIN try to get the Zags over the hump.
Tennessee (+750): The Vols landed 5-star forward Julian Phillips and Tyreke Key, an ace scorer from Indiana State.
Michigan (+1000): Hunter Dickinson is the BIG’s preseason POY, and we know Juwan Howard’s crew won’t go down without a fight.
Indiana (+1100): Skilled, athletic big Trayce Jackson-Davis returns to the consensus league favorite.
Alabama (+1400): The Tide could surge once Jahvon Quinerly fully recovers from torn ACL.
Florida (+1400): New coach Todd Golden, the former Saint Mary’s player, has a star in Michigan transfer Colin Castleton.
