What to watch: UConn-Indiana in the Empire Classic top a good weekend of games

There is this notion in college basketball that there is always time.

Teams can struggle in the nonconference season and bounce back in league play. And sometimes, the best teams don't even show their best stuff until March. Remember, UConn finished fourth in the Big East standings in 2022-23 and then won the national title.

College basketball loves second chances. Third and fourth chances, too.

But it's dangerous to get greedy and assume that time is always the remedy. And even though we're in just the second weekend of the 2023-24 season, the sense of urgency for a few teams (and coaches) is already rising.
