The SEC's football dominance has been kneecapped by in-conference parity, but the league has an ace up its sleeve: an excellent collection of basketball squads. Texas and Oklahoma join, but its the incumbents - Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee - that are in the national title picture, and the league has wild depth (only #96 Vandy is outside the KenPom top 70).  Per usual, the Weavers dig into each SEC squad and try to figure out what makes it tick. What has to go right? What could potentially hold them back? How #IN are Ky and Jim on their Missouri Tigers? Three new board bets originated in this one - one that isn't even SEC-related!

It's big bad Big Ten time! The newly coast-to-coast league is packed with parity, and we've convinced ourselves that any of the 18 teams could theoretically earn at at-large bid this season. But is there a true national title contender lurking among all that balance? Will the massive variance of teams like Illinois, Rutgers and Indiana result in huge years, or scuffling disappointments? And how does the addition of the Big Ten's West Wing (UCLA, USC, Oregon, Washington) impact the overall landscape of the league in hoops?   The Rundown (0:10) - Intro (5:40) - Root's Roundup (17:02) - Big Ten Overview (Standings, All-Conf, Storylines) (25:46) - Purdue (30:01) - Indiana (33:53) - Oregon (37:25) - Michigan (41:31) - Rutgers (45:50) - UCLA (49:29) - Illinois (53:34) - Michigan St. (56:40) - Ohio St. (1:01:16) - Washington (1:04:32) - Maryland (1:10:28) - Iowa (1:13:33) - Nebraska (1:17:02) - USC (1:20:42) - Wisconsin (1:23:35) - Northwestern (1:26:40) - Penn St. (1:30:02) - Minnesota

The Weave triumphantly returns from our two-week hiatus to formally convene a crucial meeting of our very own Rules and Oversight committee. After a quick Root's Roundup (Wins Above Bubble on the team sheets!!), we dive into a roundtable about rule changes to college basketball. What do we want changed? Are we afraid of change? Topics include contracts for transfers, endless end of game reviews, non-conference scheduling, 24-second shot clock, four quarters vs. two halves, and a whole lot more. Enjoy!

Take a tailgate break, college baseball maniacs! Our season recap series wraps up with the conference where it simply means more. Before Oklahoma and Texas join the fold, we took a look back on the year that was in the SEC. Though football still reigns supreme, the hoops programs have come a long way - this league has great coaches galore and NIL money to burn. What is the state of each squad going forward?  We also look back on our preseason preview podcast, taking stock of both our great and terrible takes. South Carolina = way way better than expected, and Mizzou and Arkansas = way way worse! The Rundown: (0:10) - Intro (5:09) - Root's Roundup (News & Notes - Dan Hurley is staying!)

The Big-12's conglomerate tentacles now spread to the rockies and beyond, as one of college basketball's flagship power leagues grows to 16 squadrons.

Our postseason conference postmortems continue with the home of the back-to-back national champions: the Big East! We go through the highs (the top 3), the lows (good god, DePaul and Georgetown), and everything in between for the league that is the pride of John Fanta. Plus, we discuss the state of each program and whether each fanbase should feel encouraged going forward. Will the BEast see a resurgence in NCAA appearances in 2025? We certainly think so...
