We're almost there. Exhibitions are now over. Our freshman are eligible. Our tickets are purchased. The only thing left to do? Play the games. College basketball is back, and there's only a few days left. What better way to spend them than to throw out some predictions?
A disclaimer: Sure, this is a prediction post, and I do think there's a case to be made for all these predictions, but by no means do I think they're all going to come true. Think of them as guidelines, themes to look for as the season progresses. I tried to hedge the line between crazy and crazy obvious.
