I posted a link to it below so you can take a look/ bookmark it and follow along throughout the basketball season. This prediction is based on absolutely nothing, just the ol' algorithm making some kind of "educated" guess. These update after every game just like the football picks. We have absolutely NO idea how good or bad our men's basketball team will be this season, can't wait! But first, let's finish out football season and bring home our first conference title! https://masseyratings.com/cb2024/7278 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
