Twenty-two of Division I's 32 conferences have been receptive to an ambitious scheduling concept that would introduce back-to-back non-league games played just a few weeks prior to Selection Sunday, WAC commissioner Brian Thornton and WAC associate commissioner Drew Speraw told CBS Sports. The selling point of these out-of-conference matchups would be to pit projected NCAA Tournament candidates, in addition to bona fide bubble teams, against each other. What's more, there would be an array of games between schools fighting to improve their NCAA tourney résumés.

 

Here's how the first-of-its-kind concept would work: For one week in February, a slew of leagues would pause their conference schedules and instead have all their members play two nonconference opponents. The model would have every team involved play one home game and one away game, with the majority of those games happening three days apart — many on Wednesday and Saturday — with the window commencing after Valentine's Day. 

 

The matchups would be decided by an algorithm that would ensure the best teams play the best teams. The games wouldn't be determined until the end of January. Think of it like a mini-Selection Sunday within the regular season. You could even build a television show around it. How fun would that be?

Chucky Hepburn, 6-2, 205, PG, Soph., Wisconsin With Johnny Davis gone, everyone will need to do a little more, and Hepburn will have a ton of responsibility. He’s gotten stronger in the offseason so that he can assume a larger role for the Badgers. He should be a double-digit scorer along with one of the top assist men in the Big Ten.
2021-22 Stats: 7.9 ppg, 2.3 apg, 30.9 mpg

 

Saint Thomas, 6-7, 215, F, Soph., Loyola Chicago Drew Valentine lost a ton from last season, but Thomas is a guy who has the size and the ability to shoot it. Thomas has a high IQ and can also defend, so I’d expect him to be a starter and maybe even evolve into the team’s top scorer.
2021-22 Stats: 1.8 ppg, 6.3 mpg

 

Samari Curtis, 6-4, 190, G, Sr., Bowling Green He started his career at Nebraska, was solid in one season at Evansville and played a role for Michael Huger at Bowling Green last year. Now it’s finally his turn to be the go-to guy, and he’s someone who can pass, rebound and defend multiple positions.
2021-22 Stats: 9.3 ppg, 22.5 mpg
