The best month of the year is here, and already the madness has started in one conference tournament, while it feels weird with another one going on. Plus a regular season title is clinched, a key meeting is on tap, and one powerhouse program could be on the move.
One bubble team might have secured its spot in the NCAA Tournament, and all in a blur at the end of a road game. Plus an even wilder game up north, more early conference tournament action, and trial rule changes yet again in a postseason tournament.
On another wild Saturday, and the last one before conference tournament play begins, history was made – remarkable history, that is. We take a look at notes on many of the day’s big games from around the country.
On Senior Night at Felician, Bloomfield College traveled for a local Division II rivalry game at a gym that used to be home to a Division I school.
In our latest podcast, we start with floor issues in the Big East and an important NCAA ruling that was upheld. Then we go on to the Big 12, where Wednesday night had a new twist, as well as the ACC and how it shapes up along with no team going undefeated in conference play this year.
Louisville will have to vacate its 2013 national championship per an NCAA decision. It’s an incredible result, and as much as school officials would love to just move on, the reality is that doing so is not going to be as easy as they would like it to be.
Seton Hall needed a win to stop the bleeding, and DePaul came to town having won three road games in conference play. The Pirates did a lot of thins right to get the result they needed.
This Saturday didn’t disappoint with what we have come to expect. Here are notes from many of the day’s key games that took place.
Virginia is firmly in control of the ACC, and their defense is a big reason for that. The Cavaliers are relentless at that end of the floor and never stop working there.
Even when there was no reason to be outraged, people were about the results of the NCAA’s bracket preview. Their misplaced anger shows the continued need for discussion of metrics-on all sides.
