All four programs -- Cincinnati, Miami, Northern Kentucky University and Xavier -- have started practicing in the last week, and exhibition games are just around the corner.
Questions galore accompany the new season. Will each team’s veterans live up to expectations? Will the newcomers make significant impacts? Come March, will there be two Elite Eight teams in this city?
Xavier and UC have are expected to be preseason Top 25 teams when the major polls are released. NKU is coming off a program-first DI NCAA tournament berth and Miami has a new coach in Jack Owens.

What does NKU do for an encore?
To recap the Norse’s last campaign: Head coach John Brannen led the team out of rebuilding mode and into the Horizon League championship, where it defeated Milwaukee for an NCAA tournament automatic bid. It was among the best stories of the tournament, as NKU was in its first year of eligibility for the Division I postseason after reclassifying from Division II.
The buck stopped against second-seeded Kentucky in the NCAA tourney -- UK won 79-70 -- but NKU acquitted itself nicely and drew nationwide attention.
This year the Norse return 77 percent of their offense and 76 percent of their minutes played, and their top three scorers -- Horizon League Tournament MVP Lavone Holland II, All-Tournament team member Drew McDonald and Carson Williams -- are back.
Although there’s a larger target on the program now, the pieces are in place for another successful season.

Who could have a breakout season?

NKU’s Carson Williams isn’t exactly a secret, but the 6-5 forward scored 21 points against Kentucky in the NCAA tournament and doesn’t back down from challenges.
