The calendar has turned to December and College Basketball is in full swing! A wild start to the season provides many surprising results. We dive into the early season slate and the ending of the Big Ten / ACC challenge (4:00-17:00). With a month of a season completed, we try to determine which highly rank teams are the contenders and the pretenders (17:00-28:10). The Buckeyes navigated a tough opening schedule with successes in Maui and a disappointing performance at Duke, and we share our thoughts on their start to the season (28:10-38:20). And we wrap up this week’s show with our Mid-Major teams to watch: New Mexico and College of Charleston (38:35-48:34). Catch our interviews with members of the Ohio State squad in our podcast feed coming soon!
