It’s the official end of the 2023 calendar year and the end of a semester, so before we turn the page to a new year and look ahead to college basketball’s second and most important semester — replete with conference play, conference tournaments and March Madness — it’s time to first kick off our first official report card series of the season.
I’ll be the teacher now and moving forward, and each week, I will hand out grades for a number of teams based on performances, with the evaluation period running Monday-Sunday.
The first grades of the season are chock-full of both good and bad for some of the sport’s best and worst, highlighted by the highs of No. 1 Purdue and two undefeateds — Houston and James Madison — along with some struggling squads ranging from FAU (yikes!) to USC (yikes yikes!).
Let’s hop to it. Class is officially in session.
