After 24 hours, it’s clear that this season is up for grabs

True, it’s just November but if you can read anything from the first 24 hours of the NCAA basketball season it would be that it’s even more up for grabs than usual. What makes college hoops so great is that even a powerhouse is not a sure thing to win the tournament (top seeds have won 58% of the time since 85’). Even though North Carolina was a consensus pick last year, there aren’t any Florida Gators (unanimous pick to win NCG at the beginning of the year) in hoop this year. Kansas is a solid number one to start the year, and not just because they were a rim away from losing to an unranked Memphis team, but many writers see four or five schools just as talented and just as worthy to wear the crown. With the mass talent depletion the NBA draft had on the conferences last year one could arguer that the talent is down, but I disagree. What you do have is more parity and rest assured there won’t be any teams rolling into the dance 32-3 this year. All in all it’s good for the game and emphasizes what makes the game great and their ‘playoff system’ (please take notes football) the greatest even in sports.
