There is plenty of sports going on right now. The NFL is nearing, the MLB regular season is in full swing and both the NHL and NBA are in the final stages of their entire year. But there is something just beyond the horizon, so close, yet so far away. You guessed it, another season of College Basketball is closer than you think. So, obviously, you need a college basketball prep guide.
If you’re a college basketball die-hard, however, chances are the time is going by very slowly. It’s like the night before Christmas as a child. You know that plenty of toys will be under the Christmas tree in the morning and the excitement just won’t let you sleep. You toss, you turn, you count sheep, but nothing helps you fall into a slumber so you can awake to find all the goodies you asked Santa for.
For me at least, the same logic is applied to basketball season. I’m like most of you out there. I love me some football, whether it be the NFL or NCAA. But you see, my heart belongs to another. My heart only has irregular heartbeats for one sport. I only shed a tear for one shining

sport (get it, get it?!).
Time can’t go by quick enough. Sure, the weekends are fine and go by fairly quick with my ability to get plastered. Yet, on the weekdays my soul is as empty as John L. Smith’s bank account. Monday Night Raw, fine that gets me by for a few hours. Some forced family time on a Thursday, well…Okay I guess. But nothing, AND I MEAN NOTHING, fills up my picture-box viewing time like some college basketball.
A man must find his way to bide his time until opening tip comes though. Simply staring blankly into the television won’t make the games start any sooner. So, not only am I going to help you make the time go by quicker until the start of the regular college basketball season, but I am going to help you properly prep for it as well. The following is our first (and likely only) college basketball prep guide.
You’re welcome, friend.
