If you had forgotten about Wichita State, Sunday should help change that. Plus the Blue Devils win again without an injured star, two long winning streaks end at once, a big mid-major showdown, and a coach decides to leave now instead of at the end of the season.

In recent years as the season has wound down and bubble talk has heated up, it’s seemed that many teams have all but felt a need to remind us why they were on the fence for selection to the NCAA Tournament. Squads stumbling and bumbling down the stretch, fanning on […]
Saturday Notes – February 17, 2018

The Friars bounce back in a big way in going from a bad loss to a high-quality win. Plus a notable losing streak continues, big road wins in the ACC and Mountain West, and one school’s dominance in an academic is continuing as expected.
