You may have forgotten about one of the modern day blueblood programs, and for somewhat understandable reason, but they reminded us that they are still around on Sunday. Plus the road is the great equalizer for one powerhouse program, a couple of mid-major races remain hotly contested, and a tie is broken in the Patriot League for now.
Another busy Saturday included many key results both on the bubble and among conference leaders, and we have a look at notes from many of those important games.
A brief look at some of Saturday’s stories, including Jim Boeheim returning to the bench, Wofford and Furman meeting in a big one that wrongly wasn’t on TV, and New Mexico State’s quiet roll.
Someone in Iowa City has quite the clutch gene, and he buried Indiana on Friday night the way he buried another team not long ago. Plus a bit of clarity emerges in one league race, very little in another, and suspensions are in the news that don’t just include a player.
A tense, terrific, every-possession-counts battle saw Cincinnati rally to edge UCF on Thursday. Plus, Chris Clemons & Mike Daum climb the scoring lists, San Francisco with a huge road comeback, Michigan makes it look easy & more.
In our latest podcast, the bizarre beginning to the big rivalry game gets us going, along with some analysis of the game. We then look at some of what’s happening in the SEC and Big East, the former of which saw a bizarre incident of its own.
The big rivalry game will be most remembered for a bizarre occurrence just seconds into the ballgame, and not at all for the final result. Plus another bizarre result is in the SEC, some head-scratchers in another conference, and a past champion wins a game that influences the current race in their league.
One team whose season looked like it could get derailed at several points has just continued to win after regrouping. Plus a damaging loss in the ACC, Big Ten slides continue, and one mid-major is as hotly contested as they come.
Virginia slowly pulled away from Virginia Tech in the second half on the road Monday night, doing so in a most Virginia-like way, slowly and in a most satisfying way for the winners. Also, Kansas State takes care of business on the road, and TCU’s NCAA tourney chances running into trouble.
A triple-overtime game between Quinnipiac and Siena in the MAAC between two of many teams battling for the top had a pair of individual offensive eruptions on Sunday. Also, Missouri State’s remarkable in-season improvement, St. John’s with a stunning rally and Michigan State dominates second half against Ohio State.
