College basketball freshmen who are making a case to be lottery picks
Here are 3 freshmen who are playing their way into becoming lottery picks for the 2025 NBA Draft.
After dropping a winnable game at home on Friday, Liam McNeeley and UConn men’s basketball looks to get back on track Tuesday with the start of an important two-game road trip.
The Huskies (16-7 overall, 8-4 in Big East play) kick off their two-game slate with a flight out to Omaha, Nebraska and the CHI Health Center Omaha to face No. 21 Creighton (18-6, 11-2) at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday.
Dan Hurley’s squad fell out of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches and AP Top 25 polls this week following its 68-62 loss to No. 8 St. John’s last Friday at home.
The Huskies, who have lost three of their last six games, dropped to a No. 8 seed in ESPN bracketologist Joe Lundari’s latest NCAA Tournament projection. McNeeley finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds against St. John’s, his first game back after sustaining a high-ankle injury at the start of January.
Creighton looks to sweep the regular season series against UConn on Tuesday, after the Bluejays stole a 68-63 win against the then-14th ranked Huskies in the earlier season matchup. The Bluejays, led by three-time Big East defensive player of the year Ryan Kalkbrenner and Steven Ashworth, have won nine straight games.

Prediction: Creighton 70, UConn 65
When these two teams met earlier this season at Gampel Pavilion, UConn didn’t have Liam McNeeley due to injury. And though McNeeley will play on Tuesday, expect Creighton to pull out another close, single-digit game on Tuesday at home — where the Bluejays are 12-1 this season.
