Immediate impact 💥 Reax to Cam Boozer, Koa Peat, Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa + everything else from first two days of the season

This Sunday night mega preview show is 105+ minutes. Here's why: We are SO eager for the return of this great sport. This season feels like it will be special. And big. And maybe the last of its kind. And that excitement manifested with what should be our longest pod of the season. Parrish and Norlander tip off with their annual prediction special — Final Fours, awards, storylines, and a few takes that’ll age beautifully (or horribly) by March. 

The guys preview also the opening week’s best matchups: No. 3 Florida vs. No. 13 Arizona and No. 8 BYU vs. Villanova in Vegas, plus Lehigh–Houston on CBSSN and the big Texas–Duke game in Charlotte on Tuesday.

Then it’s time for the bold stuff: which single-digit seedsmiss the 2026 Tournament, which new coaches make it, who stays undefeated the longest, and whether Jon Scheyer and Braden Smith chase down records. 

2:00 Overall season storylines
9:45 Final Four picks
14:00 Awards picks
19:15 Conference winner predictions
23:00 Monday & Tuesday notable games
28:00 Florida-Arizona
38:45 Houston-Lehigh
42:00 BYU-Villanova
