College Basketball 2025-26 Season Thread

Bruce Pearl retired today. This late into the off season his retirement is clearly done to hand the job to his son. Looks like he will be running for the US senate as a Republican from Alabama.

I wasn’t sure if I should start a new thread for this year’s basketball season or post this in the 2026 election thread.

Should Dems running nonstop clips of Bruce Pearl at Tennessee be enough to sink him?

He’ll be replacing Tuberville. A mild upgrade?

oh great another sweaty orange deplorable

So, Purdue at UK is easily the most hyped exhibition game UK has ever had in my lifetime, and not even close.

good god, look at these tickets for an exhibition

this is the first time I can remember UK having an exhibition game against a legit opponent, and it is the preseason #1

Trying not to overreact for an exhibition. But Mark Pope should be the Pope. Already in love with this team.

College football no longer exists.

UF has to be the overwhelming real favourite to repeat with that frontcourt.

I think UT could be good again with Jakobe Gillespie coming in from Maryland.
