Following the debuts of some of the biggest names in the 2025 NBA Draft, the first weekend of the college season brings a few big-time matchups that offer interesting looks at prospects.
The first week of college basketball is well underway, and as we approach the first weekend of the season, interest is building for big-time matchups. Saturday and Sunday offer a handful of competitive games, headlined by several intriguing prospects for the 2025 NBA Draft. Early-season matchups don’t always provide a clear view of what the entire season has in store for players, but seeing how players handle adversity is extremely important.
Terrence Edwards Jr. transferred to Louisville following a very productive senior year at James Madison. He has a very well-rounded game, which showed up in his Louisville debut against Morehead State, where he added 12 points, three rebounds and three assists on 5-of-7 shooting from the field and 2-of-4 from three. He still seems to be finding his place, but this matchup will surely challenge him to find ways to impact the game.
Boogie Fland had a stellar preseason and looks to carry this momentum into his first marquee matchup against another ranked opponent. He is an extremely quick and smooth guard who looks ready to run the show for the Razorbacks. Playing alongside proven upperclassmen could either help or hurt his productivity, but this first real test should give an idea of how he will be used as the season ramps up.
Hunter Sallis returned to Wake Forest after a remarkable junior season, and despite struggling in their first game against Coppin State, he seems poised to bounce back in this matchup. His scoring ability is proven, but he has appeared more focused on playmaking for others, as evidenced by his team-high five assists in their season opener. He has the potential to be one of the first upperclassmen selected in this draft and may look to prove why against a tougher opponent.
