2022 NCAA Basketball Discussion Thread
NewYorkExpress:
This thread is the home of college basketball discussion.
The season starts Monday, November 7.
Among the great games kicking off the first week (and weekend) are BYU @ San Diego State, Michigan State/Gonzaga, Villanova @ Temple, SMU @ Dayton, Florida State @ UCF, Clemson @ South Carolina, Stanford @ Wisconsin, Georgia @ Wake Forest (all on Friday, November 11), Saint Peter's @ Seton Hall (on Saturday, November 12) and Colorado @ Tennessee (on Sunday, November 13).
As much as I would love to do a pick'em, the last two years have taught me that the interest just isn't really here to do so, so there will be no pick'em this year (unless someone else wants to host it).

Gonzaga deep in discussions with the Big Twelve, also discussing heading to the PAC-12 and Big East.

Gonzaga's athletic director met in person with the Big 12 commissioner last week as part of broader discussions about the Zags joining the Big 12, sources told ESPN. The discussions are part of the possibility of a seismic move of the basketball powerhouse leaving the West Coast Conference for a power conference.
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark met with Gonzaga athletic director Chris Standiford at the Hyatt in Frisco, Texas, while the Zags were in the Dallas area to play Tennessee in a scrimmage, according to sources.
The move backs up Yormark's promises of the Big 12 to be aggressive and "open for business," and it could end up shifting the landscape of college basketball.
Sources indicate that Gonzaga has been exploring its conference options, as it has emerged as one of the premier basketball programs in the country. Both the Pac-12 and the Big East have been engaged with Gonzaga, according to sources, but the extent of those conversations is uncertain.
Gonzaga plays in the West Coast Conference, a mid-major conference it has consistently dominated as it has grown into one of the top programs in the sport. The school has been transparent with the WCC about its conversations.
