College basketball starts in 50 days, so here are 50 things to know about the 2021-22 season--CBS Sports
49. The Champions Classic doubleheader offers the only appealing inter-conference game between power-league teams on opening night. But for the counterculture diehards (who are reading college hoops content like this in the middle of September; I see you and I love you), here are five other tasty opening-night games worth following.
• Cleveland State at BYU: A pair of 2021 NCAA Tournament teams. BYU should win, but CSU coach Dennis Gates has done as good of a a job as any man who was hired in 2019.
14. I love when a lottery pick talent chooses the road less traveled and goes to an atypical school. That's most definitely the case for Patrick Baldwin Jr., who is playing for his dad at Milwaukee. Frustratingly, Milwaukee only has two games vs. high-major opponents this season: at Florida (Nov. 18), at Colorado (Dec. 10).

Cleveland State: What can Dennis Gates do for an encore? Repeat as champions of the Horizon League, but this time it will come as a league favorite. One year removed from an incredible turnaround that saw Cleveland State go from 11-21 in Gates’ first season to the NCAA Tournament in his second, the Vikings now enter 21-22 as the team to beat in their conference. It says here that they’ll be up to the challenge. Torrey Patton (14.7 points, eight rebounds) — who led Cleveland State in both scoring and rebounding last season — is returning to use his additional year of eligibility along with fellow seniors Craig Beaudion and Algevon Eichelberger. Veterans D’Moi Hodge and Tre Gomillion also return which means that Gates will have his top five scorers back from a year ago. Florida State transfer Nathaniel Jack and Pacific transfer Broc Finstuen should add perimeter depth and shooting. This will be one of the oldest teams in college basketball.
