Preseason KenPom rankings are live. Here's the top 60.
Duke is No. 1—not Florida.
Iowa State is 6!
TTU is 12, presumably under the notion all the 5-for-5 guys are eligible.
Reigning champs Michigan at 28.
Highest-ranked mid-majors: Grand Canyon (44), Utah St (51), SLU (54).
With heavy hearts this morning, we mourn the passing of Army Basketball alum Chris Spatola ‘02.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Be Thou at Peace.
This is how I will choose to remember @Chris_Spatola.
Called countless games with him. Bonded over Stern and Sopranos and old school rap.
Tough-minded. Honest. Loved his wife and kids. My thoughts and prayers to his family.
@kevconnorsespn Such sad news. Chris was truly the best. Always looked forward to visiting with him. Praying for his family, you and everyone else who called him a friend.
31 seasons behind the mic. Numerous radio and broadcast awards. Legendary voice for Baylor fans.
And now, a 2026 Baylor Athletics Hall of Famer alongside his mentor Frank Fallon.
Congrats, @VoiceofBears! 🎉

A doorbell camera captures two Soldiers—one a battle-hardened Sergeant Major, the other an officer—standing at a family’s door in full dress uniform. They wait with quiet dignity, heads up, eyes steady. The weight of what they’re there to do is written on their faces.
They’re not delivering good news.
As we approach Memorial Day, it’s easy to post flags and barbecues. But this is the real cost. Since our nation’s founding, as many as 1.4 million American service members have made the ultimate sacrifice—fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters—who never came home.
Every Gold Star family knows that knock. Every folded flag, every name on a wall, every empty seat at the table carries a story of love, duty, and unbearable loss.
Tonight I’m praying for every family who’s ever answered that door. For every name we must never forget. And for the brave men and women in uniform who still carry the hardest mission of all: telling a family their hero is gone.
We owe them everything.
Freedom isn’t free. It’s given by the blood of patriotic heroes.
