Michigan's Dominance Shocks College Hoops World

Michigan's men's basketball team delivered a stunning performance at the Player's Era Festival in Las Vegas, asserting themselves as national championship contenders. The Wolverines dominated opponents, including significant blowouts against San Diego State, No. 25 Auburn, and a resounding 40-point victory over No. 10 Gonzaga, marking the largest defeat in Mark Few's coaching tenure.

Conference play saw the Big 12 thrive during Thanksgiving week. Kansas secured a crucial win against No. 16 Tennessee, Iowa State remained undefeated despite key injuries, and TCU earned a notable victory over defending champion Florida. These successes underscore the Big 12's growing strength and depth early in the season.

Conversely, some highly-touted teams faced early challenges. Preseason favorite Florida struggled, particularly in their second-half offense against TCU, and St. John's saw its early hype diminish with a mixed record in Las Vegas. These teams are working through early-season adjustments as the college basketball landscape takes shape.
