Seth Greenberg & Clark Kellogg: NCAA Basketball Tipoff

The new college basketball season is here and it’s already loaded with storylines. Purdue opens at No. 1 for the first time ever. Florida’s chasing a repeat. Houston looks built for March and Duke’s Cameron Boozer might be the most NBA-ready freshman since Zion. Seth Greenberg and Clark Kellogg join Dave to tip off the 2025-26 season with a full-court conversation on the sport’s biggest questions: What makes Purdue’s veteran core different this year? Can Houston finally turn defense into a title? Is Florida built to repeat? Which freshmen — AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Nate Ament — will make the biggest impact? Who’s the sleeper built to bust brackets before March? From NIL chaos to the rise of new coaches, Dave, Seth, and Clark break down the Top 10, circle the early statement games, and is it too early to deliver their Final Four and Player of the Year picks.
