In what could be a season full of mystery, the 2023-24 men's college basketball season tips off Monday.

Zach Edey, the reigning Wooden Award winner, returns for Purdue, which hopes to duplicate Virginia's feat and put last year's first-round loss to Fairleigh Dickinson behind it with a national title run. The sport also hasn't had a back-to-back Wooden Award winner since former Virginia star Ralph Sampson Jr. 40 years ago. Could Edey follow Sampson?

Kansas big man Hunter Dickinson and Duke star Kyle Filipowski appear to be Edey's top competition in that race.
