Almost that time brehs....Midnight Madness is only a couple weeks away for some programs, and the rest will follow early-mid October. UConn captured its 5th national title last season. I didnt hear many people predict them to win it all, but they steamrolled through the tournament to cut the nets down.

some other notable coaching changes are Ed Cooley taking over Georgetown after Patrick Ewing was fired, Damon Stoudamire taking over at Georgia Tech, Rick Pitino is at St. Johns, former LSU coach Will Wade is now at McNeese, Chris Beard at Ole Miss, and Josh Eilert taking over at West Virginia after legendary coach Bob Huggins let the flutes fly on Xavier fans.

Should be a fun season with all of the good teams this year. Bama got a whole new team pretty much, will be exciting to see how we play and who steps up. Could win it all if Grant Nelson is the real deal
