It’s the first full weekend of college basketball and there have already been some…uh let’s say, eye-opening results from the first few nights.

Abilene Christian returns four of its top five scorers from a year ago, led by the Three J’s – Jalone Friday, Jaylen Franklin and Jaren Lewis – who combined to average nearly 37 points a game last season.

Gary Blair has something no other coach in the major sports at A&M owns: a national title won at A&M. The 2011 championship will always guarantee Blair a special place in Aggies’ fans hearts – but they also believe it’s high time for another Final Four showing.

Billy Kennedy is a man on a mission – a coach bent on proving Texas A&M won’t careen from the Sweet Sixteen to a trudging dozen.

No matter the court, no matter the game, South Garland guard Tyrese Maxey is bound to put on a show.
