The countdown until the 2026-27 college basketball season continues to roll on. As it stands now, we are just under 100 days until tipoff for the new campaign.
UNC is entering the first year of the Michael Malone era as he replaces Hubert Davis. Now, Malone has the task of turning this program around and getting it to where it needs to be. Malone and his staff have built the roster using returning players, the 2026 recruiting class, and a good transfer portal class.
UNC's backcourt should be strong, but there are some concerns regarding their height. The Tar Heels were able to add some frontcourt players, but it likely won't be a strength for them. CBS Sports **** yst Isaac Trotter wrote on the Tar Heels, and he has some concerns about their post depth:
I'm getting nervous about UNC's big man situation. 7-footer Sayon Keita is still not on campus as he wades through all the eligibility red tape. I'm in on Matt Able and freshman Maximo Adams, but UNC could have some hairy moments with this frontcourt. I think UNC is more of a top-30ish team than a top-15 unit nationally.
Trotter wrote that in the section of "teams he will be lower on than the consensus," and he mentions that he will have them as a top 30 team. Keita should be on campus soon as **** ysts have said they are not worried about his absence so far.

Despite playing under a minutes restriction as she continues to work her way back into her typical workload within Indiana's (14-9) lineup, Caitlin Clark set another WNBA record on Sunday night in the Fever's 109-75 rout of the Las Vegas Aces (17-7) at Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas, Nev.
As the third quarter neared its conclusion, the former Hawkeye made a nifty pass to teammate Monique Billings, who converted at the basket while being fouled and later completed the three-point play. The helper from Clark was her 600th career **** ist, making her the fastest player in WNBA history to reach that milestone, accomplishing the feat in just 72 games.
The three-time WNBA All-Star would go on to finish with 12 points on 5 for 11 shooting, 1 for 5 from 3-point land, and 1 for 2 at the free-throw line, to go along with seven **** ists and six rebounds in 24 minutes of play.
While it didn't take Clark long to reach 600, the 6-foot guard still has quite a long way to go to even come close to the league's all-time regular-season career **** ist leader, Hall of Famer Sue Bird, who has 3,234 **** ists.
Having won five of their last seven games and leaped into fifth place in the league standings, Clark and Fever will return to play on Wednesday, July 15, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against Golden State Valkyries (17-7). That game between the Fever and Valkyries is scheduled for a 7 p.m. CT tipoff and will be broadcast on USA Network.

LAS VEGAS — When the No. 1 pick goes up against the No. 2 pick, the stars come out.
The AJ Dybantsa vs. Darryn Peterson game was heavily attended at Las Vegas Summer League, with the lower bowl at Thomas & Mack center absolutely packed and NBA stars lining the court on all sides.
But the crowd was left a little underwhelmed, with the game not really reaching the level of hype it had garnered prior to tipoff.
“Look, they’re two of the best young players on the planet, and people are excited about them, and rightly so,” Jazz ******* istant coach Steve Wojciechowski said of Peterson and Dybantsa. “Those guys, from a very early age, have had to learn to handle the spotlight. And I’m not sure any games they’ve played in has been as big a spotlight as this one. ... And I thought both of them handled it really well.”
While both Peterson, the No. 2 overall pick by the Utah Jazz, and Dybantsa, the No. 1 overall pick by the Washington Wizards, were able to showcase a number of reasons that they are going to be centerpieces for their respective teams, this was not the Summer League classic that everyone was hoping for.

While Wednesday night featured the return of Caitlin Clark after the former Hawkeye missed two games with a back injury, the three-time WNBA All-Star played under a minutes restriction, scoring 9 points on 4-of-12 shooting to go with 4 rebounds, 3 **** ists, and 1 steal in 16 minutes.
Despite her return to the lineup on Thursday, the Fever's gameday injury report ruled Clark out of tonight's game to give the star point guard a rest in the latter half of the team's back-to-back.

NEW YORK (AP) — The **** ociated Press honored Breanna Stewart before the New York Liberty's game Tuesday night for being one of the greatest women's college basketball players during the Top 25 poll era.
The AP celebrated the 50th anniversary of the women's basketball poll last season. As part of it, a 13-member panel voted for the greatest college players of the past five decades. Stewart and Cheryl Miller were selected as the top players over the past 50 years.
The UConn great won four straight national championships and was selected as the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four each time. She was presented with her trophy at center court by AP Global Sports Editor Josh Hoffner a few minutes before tipoff of the Liberty's game against the Dallas Wings.
Miller accepted her trophy at the Final Four in Phoenix last April at the "The AP Top 25 Fan Poll Experience," which was held at Arizona State's First Amendment Forum in the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Stewart couldn't make that ceremony.

Michigan State basketball will officially be returning to your Thanksgiving menu this year.
Earlier reports from this offseason were confirmed on Wednesday when Michigan State formally announced an upcoming Thanksgiving Day matchup with Arkansas this season. The game will be played at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Mich., with tipoff scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET on November 26.
The game will be televised on CBS and follow the Detroit Lions' annual Thanksgiving matchup that kicks off earlier in the day.
In early April, both Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo and Arkansas head coach John Calipari stated this game would be happening -- which was a notable twist from the original agreement. Michigan State hosted Arkansas in a ranked matchup last year at the Breslin Center, and was originally scheduled to head to Fayetteville, Ark. this upcoming season as a the second-leg of a home-and-home series. That return game by the Spartans has now been postponed for at least one season now that the two will meet in the Motor City this year.
This is a super fun matchup between two teams that will start next season near the top of the rankings. This is one of many tough non-conference games for the Spartans this upcoming season, and will be a treat on Thanksgiving for Spartans to watch on the national stage.

“I love any time we get a chance to play in Detroit and at Little Caesars Arena,” Tom Izzo, Michigan State men's basketball coach, said in a statement. “When you have a chance to play a game that will be a memory-maker for your players and your program, you take advantage of that opportunity. This is the second straight year we’ll play a very talented Arkansas team, and it gives me another chance to match up with one of my great friends in college basketball, John Calipari. These are the types of games that will help both teams down the road. To play a team like Arkansas in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day, right after the Lions, will make for a great day for sports fans in our state and for college basketball.”

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas basketball will play on Thanksgiving in 2026. It will be the third consecutive year John Calipari and the Razorbacks fill Turkey Day television screens across the country.
Arkansas officially announced a primetime matchup with Michigan State on Wednesday, July 8. Tipoff between the Hogs and Spartans is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. CT on CBS. The game will be played at Little Caesars Arena, home of the Detroit Pistons.
"We are grateful for the opportunity CBS is affording us by playing on Thanksgiving Day for a third straight year,” Calipari said. “Our program has benefited from playing in this game both on the court and from the national exposure. Last year, our Thanksgiving Day game on CBS was the most viewed college basketball game of the season, and one of the most-watched regular-season games in over 30 years."
According to Nielsen, the Thanksgving game between Arkansas and Duke in Chicago last year averaged 6.813 million viewers, marking the largest regular-season college basketball audience on any network in more than three decades. The previous high came on Feb. 21, 1993, when Purdue faced Indiana on CBS (7.225 million).
It won't be a true road game, but Arkansas will be playing in Michigan State's backyard. The two teams were originally supposed to play in Fayetteville this winter after the Razorbacks made a trip to Michigan State for a nonconference game in the first week of the 2025-26 season. The Spartans won 69-66.

NEW YORK (AP) — The ****** ociated Press honored Breanna Stewart before the New York Liberty's game Tuesday night for being one of the greatest women's college basketball players during the Top 25 poll era.
The AP celebrated the 50th anniversary of the women's basketball poll last season. As part of it, a 13-member panel voted for the greatest college players of the past five decades. Stewart and Cheryl Miller were selected as the top players over the past 50 years.
The UConn great won four straight national championships and was selected as the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four each time. She was presented with her trophy at center court by AP Global Sports Editor Josh Hoffner a few minutes before tipoff of the Liberty’s game against the Dallas Wings.
Miller accepted her trophy at the Final Four in Phoenix last April at the “The AP Top 25 Fan Poll Experience,” which was held at Arizona State’s First Amendment Forum in the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Stewart couldn't make that ceremony.

Year six of the Kim Mulkey era at LSU won't officially begin until November, but the Mulkey Tigers now know at least where they'll play their fellow SEC opponents once conference play begins.
The league office announced that conference play will begin on Thursday, December 31, 2026. Dates, tipoff times, and TV schedules will be announced at a later date.
For the 18th season in a row, teams will play a 16-game conference schedule. All teams will have eight games at home and eight games on the road, with a single round robin format (14 games) and one rotating home-and-home opponent that changes annually.
This year, LSU draws Auburn as its rotating opponent. Aside from Auburn, LSU will host Georgia, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma to the PMAC. That also means LSU will travel to Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
Postseason play officially begins on Wednesday, March 3 with round one of the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament. The tournament will once again be held at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina and conclude with the championship game on Sunday, March 7.
