College Basketball Bold Predictions – 01/09/26

College Basketball is the sport of chaos. Every week, something unpredictable and unprecedented happens. Case in point, take a look at what happened in the TCU/Kansas game Tuesday night. The Jayhawks trailed by 15 points with about 4 minutes to play, and proceeded to tie the game with three free throws from Darryn Peterson with a second left. Then, Darryn Peterson proceeds to not play the entire overtime period, which Kansas wins! Who would have thought? Not me. So let’s see if we can identify what other outrageous events will occur this week.

The breakout game is coming for James Nnaji, who is the first player to have played a college game after being drafted by the NBA. His size and athleticism are going to be needed against Houston’s frontcourt. Nnaji hasn’t topped 20 minutes in a game yet, but I think he’ll see additional run in this game and have his coming out party – which would make national headlines.
