Hoops Heads Up: Extra Game Coming to College Ball!

Get ready for more hardwood action! College basketball's regular season is poised for a shake-up, with teams likely getting an extra game starting in the 2026-27 season.

What's the Deal?

Word on the street is that the NCAA Division I Council is set to greenlight a move from 31 to 32 games. This means programs get another non-conference showdown!

More Marquee Matchups?

The 18-game conference schedule stays put, but imagine the possibilities! Could we see Auburn and Alabama loading up on even tougher non-conference foes? Maybe.

January Hoops Heat?

Intriguingly, there's talk of allowing non-conference games during the conference schedule. A mid-season break from SEC play? Yes, please!

Hold Your Horses!

This isn't a done deal just yet. It needs a formal thumbs-up and won't kick in until the 2026-27 season. But keep your eyes peeled, ChumCity fans – more hoops could be on the horizon!
