Your Home For College Hoops

The Big 12 is ready to give us the great finish we have come to expect from it thus far this season, with history or an unlikely champion appearing to be the result. Plus home teams rule one conference, a road losing streak ends elsewhere, and some news in a big off-court story.
When Bryant University became a Division I program, they needed a coach to guide them through the transition. The right one came to Smithfield, and a decade later, Tim O’Shea is moving on from college coaching altogether.
In a week where it was tough for teams to remain undefeated in conference play, one team made sure that didn’t happen to them in impressive fashion. Plus an injured star’s absence doesn’t hurt one team, a long streak of dominance over one team continues, and a long-time coach will call it a career.
We had another wild Saturday with many important results, but let’s be honest: it’s been a wild season, and Saturdays have been one part of that.
A coach returns to a league where he once won big and is winning yet again. Plus one conference leader adds to its margin, a once-promising season continues to go downhill, and a team responds to an ugly incident on campus the best way it can.
In our latest podcast, we talk about a big sweep in the SEC, look back on the wild Saturday, then talk about a Big Ten showdown and some undefeated teams in conference play.
The Musketeers continue to win while being overshadowed by other stories. Plus a big season sweep in the SEC, a little of everything in the Big Ten, and a big health concern that goes beyond basketball in Virginia.
On a light day of action ahead of the Super Bowl, a Pac-12 team gets a key win that gives them a chance to gather some momentum. Plus a suspension in Columbus, Owls start to come around, and no real surprises among the few games on tap.
We were perhaps a bit due, but this was a pretty wild Saturday. A lot of it came in predictable places like the Big 12 and SEC, but a couple of mid-major leagues were part of it as well.
One preseason favorite is certainly living up to that billing and scored a convincing win to add to that on Friday night. Plus a first loss in the Ivy, some close ones in the MAAC, and a ho-hum game further west on a quiet night.
