When is college basketball rankings updated

Emoni Bates finished with 17 points, four assists and four rebounds in Tuesday's win over Tennessee Tech. Paolo Banchero finished with 22 points and seven rebounds in Tuesday's victory over Kentucky. The Blue Devils' next game is Friday against Army. The Bears lost four starters from their team that won the national championship but should remain near the top of the Big 12 thanks to the return of Adam Flagler, Matthew Mayer and Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua, and the enrollment of five-star wing Kendall Brown and Arizona transfer James Akinjo.

Baylor opens the season Friday against Incarnate Word. Chris Lykes got 16 points off the bench in Tuesday's win over Mercer. The Razorbacks' next game is Saturday against Gardner Webb. Zach Edey finished with 16 points and nine rebounds in Tuesday's win over Bellarmine. The Boilermakers' next game is Friday against Indiana State. Keon Ellis finished with 18 points and nine rebounds in Tuesday's win over Louisiana Tech.

Marcus Sasser finished with 25 points and four rebounds in Tuesday's overtime victory over Hofstra. The Cougars' next game is Friday against Rice. UK allowed Duke to shoot The Wildcats' next game is Friday against Robert Morris.

The Tar Heels' next game is Friday against Brown. Will Richardson finished with 20 points and four assists in Tuesday's win over Texas Southern. Jacob Grandison went 7-of from the field and finished with 20 points and five rebounds in Tuesday's victory over Jackson State. Adding another ballhandler to play with Jahvon Quinerly will allow Oats to continue to play fast and attack teams off the bounce, and the return of Jaden Shackelford after briefly testing the transfer portal gives Bama one of the best backcourts in the country.

It all starts with E. A retooled backcourt thanks to graduations and pro departures will determine whether this team can compete for a Big Ten title: A pair of veterans in defensive-minded PG Jamari Wheeler Penn State and high-end shooter Cedric Russell Louisiana-Lafayette join the fray, as does highly-regarded freshman Malaki Branham.

This roster is deep, athletic and talented enough to push for an SEC title. The return of Kofi Cockburn jolts the Illini back into a clear top team. Cockburn will certainly receive more defensive attention with the departure of Ayo Dosunmu, but sophomore Andre Curbelo seems destined to make the leap into stardom and several other veterans in the backcourt should help as well.

Utah transfer Alfonso Plummer is an elite-level shooter, Trent Frazier is a great two-way guard, and both Da'Monte Williams and Jacob Grandison did a great job as role players last season.

FSU has finished No. Houston transfer Caleb Mills could blossom into one of the best scorers in the ACC, and this roster features a great combination of young talent like Jalen Warley and Matthew Cleveland along with experienced role players like Malik Osborne and Anthony Polite. The Hoosiers hiring former Knicks and Hawks head coach Mike Woodson was perhaps the biggest gamble of the offseason, and at a time when Indiana really needed to get it right. While his hoops and coaching acumen are hard to question, the NBA is a much different world from college basketball.

So far, Woodson has made the right moves, hiring a staff headlined by fellow Hoosier Dane Fife with tons of college experience and making some key additions on the recruiting trail. The return of star big man Trayce Jackson-Davis gives Indiana a real shot for a resurgent first year under Woodson, and the roster has been rounded out with experienced high-major veterans like Xavier Johnson Pittsburgh and Miller Kopp Northwestern.

The —21 season was a somewhat disappointing one in Knoxville considering how much talent the Vols had. Elite recruit Kennedy Chandler and top transfer Justin Powell Auburn headline a revamped backcourt loaded with talent and quality depth. Powell is a particularly intriguing piece—he flashed NBA upside early last year before a serious concussion ended his season.

Georgetown transfer Qudus Wahab has perhaps been overlooked as one of the best transfers of the offseason, but the junior made huge strides as a sophomore in the Big East and gives the Terrapins the strong interior presence they lacked last season. Shot blocker extraordinaire Osun Osunniyi anchors the defense, Jalen Adaway is one of the great glue guys in the country and the three-headed backcourt monster of Kyle Lofton, Jaren Holmes and Dominick Welch each bring something different to the table.

Maryland Terrapins The Terrapins have plenty of returning talent on the wings and went to the transfer portal to fill holes at point guard and center with Fatts Russell and Qudus Wahab, respectively.

There will also be several prominent coaches of perennial top 25 teams absent for games — most notably Gonzaga's Mark Few, who will miss his team's first game against Dixie State following a DUI arrest and Louisville's Chris Mack, who will miss six games amid myriad scandals, including ones stemming from Dino Gaudio's extorition conviction.
