College basketball is back—at least enough for us to start learning something.

Vince Wolfram breaks down Louisville’s 101–52 exhibition victory and the impressive first appearances from De’Shayne Montgomery, Flory Bidunga, London Johnson and the Cardinals’ completely rebuilt rotation.

Then, it’s time to preview the biggest questions surrounding Arkansas, Texas A&M, Cincinnati, South Carolina and Valpo as they prepare for the Baha Mar Hoops Summer League.

Can John Calipari turn Arkansas’ enormous and incredibly young roster into a connected team? How quickly can PJ Haggerty lead a Texas A&M squad featuring 10 newcomers? What will the beginning of the Jerrod Calhoun era look like at Cincinnati? Can South Carolina return to its winning form? And will Valpo’s experienced returning core give the Beacons an early advantage?

The final scores will not define anyone’s season—but the rotations, chemistry, confidence and emerging identities could tell us much more than expected.

Which team are you most excited to watch this summer? Sound off in the comments.
