College basketball is heating up, and this week on Inside College Hoops we’re breaking down the biggest storylines shaking up the season.

We react to Houston’s upset loss to Texas Tech and what it means moving forward, shine a light on a St. Louis team that deserves way more national attention, and talk about the recent surge of freshmen exploding for 40+ point performances across the country.

We also get into the growing discussion around G League players trying to make the jump back to college basketball — and what that could mean for the future of the sport.

If you love staying ahead of the curve with college basketball news, rising teams, breakout stars, and tournament storylines, this episode is for you.
