Breakdown of the contenders for men’s college basketball awards

Mid-January is always a good time to reevaluate the landscape in men’s college basketball — which is why we’ve been revisiting our preseason predictions all week. At this point, we have enough data – we think – to feel more confident about which players, teams and coaches have been separated from the field.

And while everything we think now could change come March, there seems to be a group of talented individuals who have dominated the game so far.

From the elite rookies to the Player of the Year race to the All-America teams (all the new teams and all the transfer teams, too), Jeff Borzello and Myron Medcalf have you covered with a midseason check-in and a fresh look at the top talent worth watching in the coming months.
