The good thing about basketball is that it’s still just 5 on 5. Overall, the power conference rosters are the deepest they’ve ever been because of the portal and NIL, but I don’t think we’ve hit a crisis where the starters at a good mid-major are far worse.

Annnnnnd we're back! Tipping off the 2025-26 season with Unc Bill Jones + Teacher Bracket to drop a few nuggets we've heard from preseason practice + what we're looking forward to on Saturday afternoon in Trask: soundcloud.com/perchcast/pres…

Told the new lights will be incredibly cool. Will definitely add to the Trask ambiance.

Mentioned it on the podcast last night, but Harlan Obioha is looking great. Apparently down in the 265 range.

UNCW MENTIONED

Sounds like we'll be getting the #caahoops CBS Sports Network schedule later today. Tell your cousins in Wyoming they'll be seeing a lot of the Seahawks this season!

Here's a Saturday preview from the High Point side:

The Seahawk Perch Join us on ProwledPanthersPodcast after the game Saturday. LIVE Spaces to discuss & would love UNCW fans perspectives

UNCW gets six guaranteed games on CBS Sports Network this season. 12/29 @ NC A&T 1/29 @ Towson 2/5 vs. William & Mary 2/9 @ Charleston 2/14 vs. Hofstra 3/1 vs. Charleston CBSSN still has CAA semis/final, too.

We're obviously a little biased, but glad the league is making sure its best teams + matchups get on national TV. The consistency of the top three is helping build a nice little brand for casual fans.

Updated schedule with conference game times and 6 CBSSN games announced during conference play. I also added the kenpom win% for each game and at the bottom expected win totals based on that percentage. I will update this the day following each game this season

And a very happy Blue Ribbon Yearbook Day to all who celebrate. The PDF version is wonderful, but having it in your hands feels like hoops season has truly arrived.
