The Regular Season
The regular season is the time when all the teams in the NBA compete against each other to see who will make it to the playoffs. Each team plays 82 games, which are evenly split between home and away games. The season starts in October and ends in April, with a break in December for the holidays.
During the regular season each team has the chance to play every other team in the league at least once. In a typical season, each team will play about 41 home games and 41 away games. However, this can vary slightly from year to year depending on the schedule.
The Regular Season is important because it determines seedings for the playoffs. The seedings are determined by each team’s win-loss record. The team with the best record in the league is said to have the best record overall, or the best winning percentage. The team with the second-best record is said to have the second-best overall record, and so on.
At the end of the regular season the top eight teams in each conference (the Eastern Conference and Western Conference) make it to the playoffs. These teams are seeded according to their records, with the team with the best overall record being seeded first, and so on.
The Conference Schedule
The conference schedule is always a rollercoaster ride. There are always a few teams that unexpectedly rise to the top and a few teams that fall back. This season is no different.
Here is a look at the conference schedule.
-Auburn: The Tigers have a tough road ahead of them if they want to make it back to the NCAA tournament They will have to battle it out with some tough opponents, including Alabama, Florida, and LSU.
– Baylor: The Bears had a record-breaking season last year and are looking to build on that success. They will have their work cut out for them, however, as they face off against some of the best teams in the country, including Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and West Virginia
– Duke: The Blue Devils are once again one of the top teams in the country and are favored to win the conference. They will have to face some tough competition from North Carolina Virginia, and Louisville though.

The Concluding Thoughts
As we come to the end of our 2019-20 Basketball season the question on all our minds is, “What will next season’s schedule look like?”
Of course, we don’t know for sure what the answer is, but we can take a look at the likelihoods and make some educated guesses.
The first thing to note is that the conference realignment that took place last year will have an impact on next season’s schedule. The most notable change is that the ACC will now have 20 teams instead of 15. This means that each team will play four games against each of their opponents, instead of two.
In addition, there are a few new teams joining the conference next season. These include Pittsburgh, Notre Dame and Syracuse. With these new additions, it is likely that the conference schedule will be expanded to accommodate these extra games.
Finally, it’s worth noting that there are a few teams who are leaving the ACC next season. These include Louisville, Pittsburgh, and Syracuse. While it’s possible that these teams could be replaced by other teams from different conferences (such as the Big Ten or the SEC), it’s also likely that the conference schedule will be smaller next year as a result.
So what does all this mean for next season’s schedule? It’s hard to say for sure, but one thing is certain: it’s going to be an exciting year for college basketball!
