Michigan got the first big win under its new head coach, and now has a chance for another one right behind it. Plus the Orlando Invitational gets going, lots of drama in a tournament out west, and a cool story coming out of the big upset in Durham a couple of nights earlier.
Two Big 12 programs got big wins on Wednesday and hope each is a sign of better things to come. Plus more tournament action includes a few other championship games, a Tiger will be out as long as first thought, and wrist injuries sideline a couple of key veterans.
In our latest podcast, we have a lot to talk about from the tournament and showcase action going on, including how they have brought us some much-needed quality games. But one game outside of a tournament grabbed all the attention on Tuesday night.
Tournaments may be the talk of the town, but Stephen F. Austin took that over for one night at least. Plus a big tournament delivers, one tournament is getting smaller, and a new assistant is coming to Omaha.
The first day of action in the Maui Invitational didn’t quite start off as expected, but that might help in a year where it may be surpassed in terms of having the best field. Plus more tournament action includes one championship, a program first in Richmond, and a Hawkeye is done for the season.
As early season tournaments get going with a few finishing up, one champion shows us what college basketball is these days as they show some resilience. Plus a few more tournament results, and another showcase features a triple overtime game that flew under many radars.
On a day where tournament action slowed temporarily, a game outside of tournaments was as good as advertised featuring a young but very talented team. Plus the other results of the day include a couple of monster individual efforts and a big road win for an Ivy League team.
One of the last games of the night was all we could hope for and more, and also leaves one hopeful about future matchups between the two teams. Plus more tournaments get going, a straw breaks the camel’s back with transfer waivers, and a Wildcat is gone from the program.
Saint Mary’s continued to bounce back from a loss last week and push toward a second straight NCAA Tournament bid, something that once seemed unthinkable. Plus a Tiger will sit a few more games, while a new Mountaineer will get to play right away.
In our latest podcast, we look at a big shift in the polls early on and how what’s behind that might be another bad consequence of the early start to the season, as well as an unexpected performance last week. We close with a look ahead to some early tournaments that are just around the corner.
