College Basketball season will start November 25
That's maybe 2-3 weeks after when it usually starts. Honestly it should start at the time every year.
It would serve CBB well for it to not be played when everyone's brains are occupied by November college football coming down to the wire.
Source: The official start date of the 20-21 college basketball season will be November 25h.

Agreed. Thanksgiving break is the earliest I’m capable of thinking about basketball
September 16th, 2020 at 5:59 PM ^
comment does check out as apparently your not even capable of spelling basketball until then
September 16th, 2020 at 6:09 PM ^

Ummm, "you're" not "your". Simply too delicious to pass up....

For us college basketball fans it can start sooner on a normal year and we would be fine with it! I’m hoping football doesn’t fuck up basketball this year
September 16th, 2020 at 6:22 PM ^
This. God forbid covid overwhelms football. God forbid basketball is impacted.

I feel overall College basketball has a legit plan nationwide the exact opposite of football. I feel B1G football came up with a very good structure but the SEC and Big 12 not so much
September 16th, 2020 at 6:05 PM ^
Can’t wait to see what the team looks like this season. Some great talent coming back and really great talent coming in. Wish we got to have some of those big OOC matchups but I’m just happy getting basketball of any kind.
They should make a push to be one of the top two or three teams in the conference.
September 16th, 2020 at 6:11 PM ^
Something else to look forward to.

I thought it was Sam Rothstein

After all today's mixed news about Michigan Football, I think I'm more excited about the basketball season than I am about football.
September 16th, 2020 at 7:05 PM ^
For about a decade plus, I have ALWAYS been more excited for the basketball team.
Typically little hype and a ton of results.
(the opposite of the football team)
September 16th, 2020 at 7:35 PM ^
100% correct statement! Football continues to disappoint basketball continues to rise
September 16th, 2020 at 7:10 PM ^
I'm down for some Black Friday Basketball!

I’m assuming (1) season will start without fans, and (2) they’ll compress schedule or cut games to keep FF timing in Indy. Any news on either of those? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
EDIT:
found an article on espn with some substance. It looks like Tourney & FF dates are staying the same (March/April). They lowered the max number of games and min number to get into the tourney. It also looks like non-con will get trimmed and scheduling might be a bit of a free-for-all.

I love how we still haven't heard anything on Chaundee Brown and his eligibility even though numerous others have already been granted eligibility by transfer. It must be a Michigan thing in every sport to be one of the last to get an eligibility answer from the NCAA
September 16th, 2020 at 10:31 PM ^
I am cautiously optimistic. And it would be awesome if the reward for not getting to use this year's FF tickets are seeing Juwan and friends in Indy next March.
September 16th, 2020 at 10:34 PM ^
This makes a lot of sense, though I'm interested to see how the schedules look. I assume it'll mostly be conference matchups but I guess you could still have your ACC-Big 10 challenge type games if conferences feel comfortable about the overall testing.

More hyped for this than football for sure. In Juwan We Trust.
