There’s some about November college basketball. It’s been so long and any game excites you. Thanksgiving tournaments is when you really start to feel out teams, their identity, and how they stack up. You get the point. Was bored and decided I’ll take a stab at predicting some of the tournaments. I’ll keep it brief.
