College Basketball is back, but where are all the marquee matchups?

The 2022-23 college basketball season is officially back, with every team in the AP Top 25 playing on Monday. However, none of these programs are playing each other, and in fact there are no particularly marquee matchups taking place on the first official day of the season. What gives? Here to break down the lack of big games on opening day is Andy Patton and Isaac Schade. The guys discuss why Monday's slate is so bland, and what the NCAA can/should do to try to bring eyeballs onto the sport's first night. Then, in the second segment, Andy and Isaac look at which games we are most interested in, with analysis on Auburn vs. George Mason, Alabama vs. Longwood, Oral Roberts vs. Saint Mary's, and Memphis vs. Vanderbilt. Finally, the episode ends with a discussion about secret scrimmages and exhibition games, including Gonzaga's bout with Tennessee on PPV as well as the game between Duke and Houston and what can be done to convince teams to play these games on record.
