 The college basketball landscape has been buzzing with excitement and change over the past few days, as rosters are reshaped and rule changes loom on the horizon. There’s a sense of anticipation in the air, especially as teams and fans start turning their focus toward the 2025-26 season. Texas Tech’s meteoric rise up the preseason rankings has been one of the most talked-about storylines. Just a few weeks ago, the Red Raiders looked thin, barely able to fill out a starting five on paper. But now, they find themselves ranked behind only Houston and Purdue in the way-too-early top 25. The key reason? JT Toppin’s decision to forgo the NBA draft and come back to Lubbock. Toppin’s return instantly gives Tech a legitimate preseason All-American and the type of anchor around which you can build a contender. Add to that some impressive moves in the transfer portal—like bringing in LeJuan Watts from Washington State, Donovan Atwell from UNC Greensboro, and Tyeree Bryan from Santa Clara—and suddenly, Texas Tech looks like they have the depth, talent, and experience to challenge for a national title.

Not to be outdone, BYU has made waves of its own. The Cougars vaulted up 10 spots thanks to the addition of Robert Wright III, a former Baylor standout and one of last season’s most dynamic freshmen. Wright, paired with A.J. Dybantsa and Richie Saunders, gives BYU one of the most intriguing backcourts in the nation. Opposing defenses are already bracing for the headaches this trio could cause.

Off the court, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee is considering some significant changes that could reshape the flow of the game. Among the proposals are introducing a coach’s challenge system and shifting from two halves to four quarters. These discussions also focus on curbing delay-of-game tactics and reducing the time spent on replay reviews, all aimed at making games smoother and more fan-friendly.

Meanwhile, the transfer portal remains a hive of activity as teams look to finalize their rosters. From high-profile commitments to under-the-radar pickups, coaches are busy retooling and reloading for the season ahead. Every move adds another layer of intrigue to a sport where momentum can shift in an instant.

As we look ahead, it feels like college basketball is gearing up for a season defined by both high-end talent and bold new direction. Fans are already counting down the days, eager to see how these changes and new faces will shape the stories of tomorrow.
