The return of men's college basketball is just around the corner, with a smorgasbord of 100 games on Monday that range from "Is that really a school?" to "Is this a Final Four preview?"

Mississippi State’s Ally Perry had a top-corner finish in the 59th minute to give the Bulldogs their winning strike for a 2-1 victory over Arkansas on Tuesday at the SEC Tournament in Pensacola, Fla.

Who's winning the 2026 national title (UConn? UCLA? South Carolina? LSU?) and other preseason picks, predictions.
