Bluenotes NCAA Basketball Previews

…on Youtube

2024 NCAA Basketball preview show. The season is drawing close and our guest, Tristan Freeman of Busting Brackets gives us his take on the upcoming NCAA college basketball campaigns. Get a headstart on the most exciting college basketball ever with this college basketball pro and his seasoned perspective.

We take a look at the upcoming season, bubbles in their various forms, picks for best conference, recent team realignments, and of course the Dance. Join in and listen as Tristan makes sense of it all. – This video was orignally shot in late September.

There are a few corrections since the initial recording.

  • – 4 Mountain West teams will join the Pac-12 in 2026. Boise St, Colorado St, Fresno St, & San Diego St.
  • – Gonzaga will join the Pac-12 in 2026.
  • – The Players Era Festival in LV, Nov 26-30 has changed format. Teams in both brackets will play 2 in-bracket games, then get re-seeded based on the results. The teams will play a 3rd game vs teams in the opposite bracket, based on seeding. Thus the “championship game” will be the top seed from each bracket.

There was a recording glitch on Zoom. I therefore patched in slides for the missed information. Unfortunately YT didn’t recognize the patch. Here are the missing slides.
