Coach Drew and Baylor, complete college basketball's greatest rebound and rebuild with a championship.

Gonzaga puddles together one last time as a team.

The heartbreak they must feel ran into a buzz salt.

So much has happened since the Baylor Bears became the best men's team in college basketball

that you would be forgiven if it feels like the tournament happened eight years ago.

Not eight months.

So today, with the new season tipping off tonight, Myron Medcaf catches you up on everything

you need to know from why Gonzaga is back on top to why the sport itself will never be the

same.

I'm Pablo Torre. It's Tuesday, November 9th.

This is ESPN Daily.

Meyer Medcalf, it has been far too long since we've talked. Are you on the road already? Are you headed out? What's your

life like at this point? I'm home for now, but only briefly. But I love it. A year ago this time,

we didn't know if we'd have a season. So it is kind of exciting that we're back on the road again.

Yeah, tonight we get Kentucky and Duke. We get Kansas and Michigan State, both on ESPN, happening in Madison Square Garden.

All of that is going on.

But I'm just curious, the energy that you spoke to just now, Myron, how does it feel right now,

especially in contrast to obviously the chaos that we've last talked about?

I mean, honestly, this feels like my first college basketball season in two years, you know?

Like, I'm making travel plans.

It's weird.

Like, I forgot how to do that or something, you know, because we just haven't really done that.
