Final Preseason Push for Roster Spots | College Basketball News

The Panthers’ final preseason game against the Texans is a make-or-break moment for dozens of players vying for the last roster spots.

Darren Waller’s status remains uncertain, but his potential playing time could signal his readiness. Up front, Chandler Zavala seeks redemption after injury struggles, while on defense, Aaron Hall, Jackson Kuwatch, Corey Thornton, and Isaiah Simmons are all battling to lock down their roles. This isn’t just a tune-up — it’s their final chance to make an impression before the regular season begins. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
