Many players can make as much, if not more in college than in trying their luck in the pros. It all means that college basketball in 2022 looks at once very new...but also, a little old...as star players like Gonzaga’s Drew Timme and Kentucky’s Oscar Tshiebwe have returned for their senior seasons and brought back the notion of “college basketball veteran.” So Myron Medcalf gets us ready for the 2022-23 men’s college basketball season...and he takes us on a campus tour unlike any we’ve ever seen.
