The 2022–23 men’s college basketball season started off with 363 undefeated Division I teams. But now, a little over 40 days into the schedule, there are only five unbeaten squads remaining: No. 1 Purdue, No. 2 UConn, No. 15 Mississippi State, Utah State and New Mexico. Below, we predict when each team will spoil their perfect record and suffer their first loss of the year. (Spoiler alert: It’s happening sooner than you think.)
Mississippi State: Dec. 28, vs. Alabama
The Mississippi State undefeated ride has been a fun one, but the team isn’t getting any favors with the opening games on its SEC schedule.
