Another team atop the polls went down on Saturday, continuing the wild season we have had with conference play still mostly to come. Plus the Jayhawks lose more than a game and the Volunteers lose a key player who was no small part of their recent rise on a very busy Saturday.
Saturday was a big day with a lot of consequential matchups and results, and we take a look at notes from many of the games here.
Marquette got all they could handle for a while, before their best player took over and got some help along the way. Plus one guy comes through twice in a double overtime game, a few other results of note, and a program goes on probation.
A little surprisingly, a big man has decided to abruptly move on and prepare for his future outside of college, but there is likely to be a lasting impact of some sort. Plus a Spartan won’t play this year, a big win in Newark, and some Tigers continue lead the way in the SEC.
In our last podcast before Christmas, we talk about a blueblood falling on hard times, a conference that had a tough night and should be a wide-open race, and the leader dealing with potential compensation matters.
Let’s give Gonzaga credit while talking about North Carolina’s concerns, because the Tar Heels lost to a really good team. Plus a tough night for the SEC, another tripleheader of action, and the leader of the pack wonders why so few people trust his organization.
Two out of three wasn’t bad in Brooklyn, with a game that wasn’t competitive sandwiched between two good ones. Plus the Tar Heels face a major challenge due to a key injury and a Pirate may not return to action so fast this time.
The NET rankings are out for the first time this season, and there’s a lot that we digest for now with much more to come. Plus the only ranked team in action rallies to win, a light night of game action, and just as a Valley team was playing well with three big blowouts, a key injury hits.
There might not have been many games on the schedule for Sunday, but it was quite a day with some big results. Plus a second home loss for one team, a few other games stand out, and a coach wasn’t able to go on Saturday.
At long last, a Saturday without college football to compete with. We had a lot of good games to talk about from start to finish, and we do that right here.
