With all of the monumental changes across men's college basketball, this season's theme can probably be captured in one word: mileage.

It begins in Durham, North Carolina, where fans from all around the country will travel for a glimpse of Duke's Cooper Flagg, the 6-foot-9 freshman phenom and projected No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA draft. Expect to see celebrities hop on private jets to Cameron Indoor Stadium to join the kind of buzz that this sport has not witnessed since Zion Williamson's lone season with the Blue Devils in 2018-19.
