But Wait - There's More!
Reports of BU’s Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
They say that death and taxes are the only certainties in life. There are other things that are so virtually certain they could almost be added to that list, like college football being a joke as long as the BCS is around or a pleasant driving experience in Boston being elusive. Another possibility in that category is that Boston University will win at home against New Hampshire, and the latest exhibit for it came at just the right time for the Terriers.
Colonial Notebook: A Senior Struggles in Atlanta
A key opening stretch of four games in eight days for each team has just concluded. While there are still 13 CAA games left to play for each team, how a team starts can influence how they finish, especially if they start strong or in the hole.
Horizon Notebook: Great Week Clarifies Horizon Race – or Does it?
By late Friday evening I was pretty sure what I was going to write in this space. With Wright State still playing without injured star Vaughn Duggins, 20th ranked Butler had no trouble dispatching the Raiders at home on Thursday night, 64-48. Remarkably (truly remarkably), Loyola-a team that I said elsewhere with some hyperbole does not have a true Division I player on its roster–removed Wisconsin-Green Bay from the ranks of conference undefeated, upsetting the Phoenix 62-60 on Monday night on Chicago’s north side.
BC Passes Up Its Chance at Local Relevance
That sound you just heard was Boston College’s chances at grabbing a little of the spotlight going right down the drain.
As is often the case, crowds at Conte Forum have been anemic all season. Boston is a notorious pro sports town, to the point where in January and February, sports fans would rather call talk radio and talk about hot stove baseball, who the Patriots might draft, or pitchers and catchers reporting than the college basketball games in town that actually count in the standings.

Wyoming: Coach Schroyer Earns Mountain West Reprimand
The Mountain West Conference publicly reprimanded Wyoming coach Heath Schroyer because he criticized the conference in the Casper Star-Tribune Jan. 3. Schroyer complained that the Cowboys play five road games during their first eight Mountain West games and have three back-to-back road trips. Three other Mountain West teams have similar […]
North Carolina: Ginyard Not Fully Recovered
North Carolina senior defensive specialist Marcus Ginyard has not fully recovered from a foot injury that has forced him to miss all but three games this season. Ginyard could receive a medical redshirt to preserve his final year of eligibility. However, he loses that option if he plays any games […]
NC State: Lowe Gets Guards Back
North Carolina State coach Sidney Lowe said guards Courtney Fells, Javier Gonzalez and Trevor Ferguson will be available tomorrow when the Wolfpack play at Clemson. Fells has played through an ankle injury, while Gonzalez missed four games after injuring his ankle. Ferguson has also been out after breaking his ring […]
Butler Fends Off Wright State
