The evaluation of men's college basketball teams during the 2024-25 season focuses primarily on the Big East conference and includes report cards for various teams over five weeks.

St. John's Red Storm earned an A grade after winning both the Big East regular-season and tournament championships, though they faced an early exit in the NCAA tournament.

The team's success was highlighted by RJ Luis Jr. being named Big East Player of the Year.

Creighton Bluejays also received an A grade, finishing second in the Big East with 25 wins despite losing key player Pop Isaacs to injury.

Memphis Tigers matched this performance with an A grade, achieving their best season under coach Penny Hardaway, winning 29 games and both the American Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament championships.

Xavier Musketeers earned an A grade as well, finishing tied for fourth in the Big East and performing strongly in the NCAA tournament.

DePaul Blue Demons showed significant improvement under new coach Chris Holtmann, earning a B grade with 14 wins, while Georgetown also received a B for their 18-win season despite injuries.

Villanova Wildcats, despite having the nation's leading scorer, received a C grade for missing the NCAA tournament for the third consecutive year.

Marquette Golden Eagles were similarly graded C after a disappointing finish, exiting in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Butler, Providence, and Seton Hall all received D grades, indicating underwhelming seasons marked by injuries and poor performance, particularly Seton Hall's drastic fall from NIT champions to a 2-18 conference record.

Gonzaga Bulldogs were also graded C after failing to meet expectations, finishing second in the WCC and suffering an early NCAA tournament exit.

UConn Huskies, aiming for a third consecutive national championship, struggled to meet expectations, receiving a C grade after finishing third in the Big East.
