 * Keep Seasons of major sports teams are notable, and NCAA Division I men's basketball gets plenty of significant coverage. In theory this article should be part of a series of season articles and also discuss the outcome of the season, though the other seasons still need articles and this season is only three games in; nonetheless, it's not just about the current lineup.

 * Keep. It is the standard to have college basketball and college football individual seasons as articles, as long as the teams in question are NCAA Division I programs. See Category:College men's basketball team seasons in the United States and Category:College football seasons by team. Jrcla2 (talk) 13:56, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - per above. The article is being updatedas well. Rikster2 (talk) 23:32, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is the first season that every team in Division I has a page on Wikipedia and it is important as part of the 2012–13 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. And, since every team has a page this season, it makes it a much better chance that every team with have a page every season from here on out. Bsuorangecrush (talk) 05:35, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
