Well, we hope they officially get underway.

With a number of top ranked teams in action, including Number three Villanova taking on Boston College, you'll see it on ESPN.

And if college basketball is back, that means it is time for my uncle Seth Greenberg.

No relation.

Who joins us here?

Getting ready to go.

All right, Seth, Here we go.

As fans get ready for this and you know, it sort of comes up on us every single year.

Give the fans three players they need to be keeping an eye on as the season begins.

First.

Kate Cunningham, Kate Cunningham, Oklahoma State.

66 point guard sees over the defense.

Beat you off the bounce shoots the three.

Reads all five defenders.

He instantly makes Oklahoma State must see TV.

He's a dynamic guard with size and length.

You will be the number one pick in the NBA draft, and he gets others involved.

He's a facilitator.

He is a special player and of Oklahoma State's eligible for the tournament.

He'll be fun to watch Luka Garza To me, my man Ghar Zilla.

He plays harder than any player in college basketball.

He's relentless.

Reminds me a little bit of Tyler hands Borough.

He gets to the foul line because he plays to contact.

He can knock down the three.

You can put him in a ball screen and in short role, and he is relentless, absolutely relentless on the glass.

Then we got my man Scotty Barn.

Scotty Barnes at Florida State.

People say Wait a second.

Scotty Barnes, Florida State Leonard Hamilton said.

He's a mix between Magic Johnson and Scottie Pippen.

Yes, I said that right?

Magic Johnson.

Scottie Pippen, 69 point forward, can initiate the fast break.

He's a relentless defender as great energy that he plays with, Leonard says.

He has a voice, and what I mean by that is he is totally engaged in the game with his teams, and he's connected.

Those three guys are gonna be a blast to watch those two freshmen.

A little Zion esque all right, And he looks so We got Zion.

We got Scottie Pippen.

We've got Magic Johnson.

We're doing pretty good.

And, you know, what's basketball season?

If Seth Greenberg is using the term off the bounce, then you know college basketball is back.

Give us the teams, then.

So who are we watching for?

Everybody, is that there?

But look, this is gonna be a crazy season, of course, with all kinds of other considerations.

But if everybody is at their best, who were the best teams in the country?

I think Gonzaga Corey, Kiss Bird is back through.

Tim is going to give him a terrific inside scoring threat.

They've got experience.

I've got toughness, love Gonzaga.

Then right from there, you're gonna go to Villanova.

You know you're talking about Villanova team four returning starters.

Colin Gillespie makes big shots.

Jeremy Robinson all gives him an inside scorer.

Then on top of that, you got Virginia.

You say Yes, there, Virginia.

Embrace the pace there for real.

And then my outside the box screen is Illinois.

I would assume you my play as hard as any player in the country.

The dude's a winning player and makes big shots.

And then one very quick thought you were telling me the impact that cove it could have.

The one thing you said to me is we're getting said that I hadn't heard anybody else say, What's the one thing no.

One is talking about that could wind up being a big impact this year.

Real quick can't play.

The game is about the officials.

What happens if an official in the crew test positive that whole crew is done for 14 days?

You multiply that by a couple of different officiating crews that gets impacted.

You're gonna run out of officials.

You're gonna play games with only two officials.

So we're talking about the games.

The games can be played without the officials.

That's gonna be a factor throughout the course of the season.
