The first weekend of the college basketball season is done. So, what did we learn? Well, Gonzaga can win on an aircraft carrier, for one. (Michigan State is now 0-2 on huge ships.) Parrish and Norlander open on Friday night's big game, then turn their attention to Emoni Bates' huge game and near-win against Michigan. Three ranked teams were unseated over the weekend, too. Which was the most concerning: Nova falling to Temple, Oregon losing to UC Irvine or Tennessee getting run by Colorado? Norlander also has a whiparound of notable results, including some love for the SWAC. The guys close with a preview of Tuesday's slate, led by the Champions Classic.»Eye on College Basketball is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts.  »Follow our team: @EyeonCBBPodcast @GaryParrishCBS @MattNorlander @Kyle_Boone @DavidWCobb @NataTheScribe »You can listen to us on your smart speakers!

Let's talk about the first two days of the season. Largely duds, right? What's that about? Norlander has some more background to know, while Parrish lays out the practical items that have to be prioritized in seasons moving forward. Beyond that, the guys get into the teams that did face embarrassing upsets and the ones who narrowly escaped.

We finally made it. The season is here! Thank you, as always, for listening. We've got a treat for you on this season-opening show: the one and only Leaky Black is here. From taking us inside the UNC locker room, to the Duke shade he tosses, to reflections on last year's run, we think you'll enjoy this rare EOCBB interview.

The college basketball news machine is working fast and furious ahead of Monday's season-openers. First, Louisville's IARP case is in — and there's nothing much to the punishment. Should that give schools like Kansas, Arizona and LSU hope in their IARP cases? Matt Norlander and Gary Parrish discuss. Additionally, Kansas announced a four-game suspension to start the season for Bill Self (and other punishments). Where does this put KU going into 2023? And another big headline: Gonzaga's AD recently met with the Big 12 commissioner. But Norlander explains why that doesn't mean a merger is imminent. The guys lay out Gonzaga's case for being in the Big 12, Pac-12, Big East ... and maybe just staying put in the WCC. »Eye on College Basketball is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts. »Follow our team: @EyeonCBBPodcast @GaryParrishCBS @MattNorlander @Kyle_Boone @DavidWCobb @NataTheScribe»You can listen to us on your smart speakers!

We're wrapping our conference-preview portion of the preseason with a wide scan of all the best teams from outside the seven major conferences. Obviously, Gonzaga is the big (bull)dog, but there are two other preseason top 25-level teams worth knowing about: San Diego State and Dayton. Norlander and Parrish go well beyond those three, though, highlighting the teams with viable at-large hopes and laying out nearly 20 other mid-majors poised to have good seasons in '22-23. The bonus: we've got a this-or-that Halloween candy-themed segment to wrap today's episode.Read Norlander's Best of the Rest preview here.This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp, for more information click here»Eye on College Basketball is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts. »Follow our team: @EyeonCBBPodcast @GaryParrishCBS @MattNorlander @Kyle_Boone @DavidWCobb @NataTheScribe»You can listen to us on your smart speakers!

Shake Shack or Chick-Fil-A? Of course it's our SEC preview. And you need to answer that question. The favorites reside in Lexington but will have a multitude of challengers coming for the throne.

The Pac-12 will be won by UCLA, or so say Parrish and Norlander. Arizona is a clear No. 2, followed by Oregon and then USC. After that ... it's a foggy mess. Our dive into what to expect out West is here.
