5 Storylines 10 Days Out From College Basketball
It is that time of year again. The weather is starting to turn a little more crisp, football is in full swing, and the holidays are quickly approaching. However, that also means that college basketball season is right around the corner. Kentucky played their Blue-White Scrimmage last Friday and have their Pro Day and Big Blue Madness in the rearview mirror. Next up is an exhibition contest against #1 Purdue on Friday, October 24th at Rupp Arena. It is hard to believe we are just 10 days away from the 2025-2026 college basketball season.
In honor of hitting the 10-day-out mark, let’s take a look at five more of the biggest storylines entering the 2025-2026 season. Every five days we will release five more headlines and ultimately reach a total of 25 when the season begins on the 3rd of November. As Kentucky Sports Radio’s resident college basketball junkie, I will have plenty of other preview content, including my annual College Basketball Manifesto, over the next few weeks. It is almost here, folks!

College Basketball Futures Betting Picks for 2025-26
With the 2025-26 college basketball set to tip off two weeks from the time of posting, the RotoWire college hoops staff got together to narrow down our favorite futures picks for the year. Check out our college basketball betting futures page for a full list of championship, conference title and Wooden Award odds.
Kevin Young moved from the NBA to taking BYU to the Sweet 16 in his first year at the helm, and now he's used one of the nation's largest NIL budgets to build an even better roster, including projected No. 1 overall NBA pick A.J. Dybantsa. The 6-9 forward may be a little raw, but he gets help from leading returning scorer Richie Saunders (16.5 ppg), center Keba Keita (7.9 rpg) and sixth year senior Dawson Baker. Young also worked the portal to bring in Baylor transfer Rob Wright – who would have been a first-round pick had he declared – to run the offense, as well as three-point sharpshooters Kennard Davis and Nate Pickens. Houston, the odds-on favorite, may be better suited for a postseason run due to its defensive capabilities, but the Cougars may need some time to find their identity after losing leading scorer LJ Cryer (15.7 ppg) and emotional leader J'Wan Roberts (10.6 ppg, 6.5 rpg). Plus, Joseph Tugler managed a foot injury for much of the offseason.
