And here it is! Yeah Google searches!

College basketball's breakout teams of 2025-26

Our writers pick college basketball's top surprise teams of 2025-26 -- Vanderbilt, Seton Hall, Nebraska and George Mason -- and what's fueling their rise.

George Mason​

Coach Tony Skinn -- who was a standout on George Mason's magical 2006 Final Four run -- lost all nine players who suited up for George Mason in the A-10 tournament championship game last year to the transfer portal, an injury or exhausted eligibility. And yet, the Patriots are 17-1 and 5-0 in the A-10?
This is remarkable work for one of the rising coaches in college basketball. Presbyterian transfer Kory Mincy has been a revelation, but Skinn's ability to scan the portal and find this many hits from places like Samford, Mount St. Mary's, Ball State and Northeastern is superb.

I knew Saint Louis would be one of the A-10's best teams. I didn't know that it would be George Mason who emerged as maybe the Billikens' biggest challenger. Skinn is well on his way to beating his preseason KenPom projection for the third year in a row. Absolute stud. Now can he guide the Patriots to their first NCAA Tournament since 2011? -- Isaac Trotter




You're welcome.
