The Spartans got a big win with a dramatic finish, but let’s hope both their opponent and the sport didn’t lose a bright young star. Plus a team remains undefeated overall, another stays undefeated in conference, and a traditional power continues to struggle at home.
The team right behind Dayton in the Atlantic 10 is the Rams, as predicted, but not the Rams that were predicted to be there. Plus Ivy League play begins in earnest with a couple of streaks snapped in one game, a couple of league leaders win, and a Tar Heel may be set to return.
There’s little separation throughout the Big East, and Wednesday reminded us of that. Plus one team stays undefeated, a dubious record in the SEC, and twice the bad news in Madison.
Not many results were all that surprising on Wednesday night, but one in the American Athletic Conference was a big surprise. Plus little separation remains in a couple of conferences, suspensions are handed out, and a powerhouse in one conference takes a big injury hit.
It looks more and more like Dayton is having a special season, one that continued with a buzzer-beater on the road on Friday night. Plus a couple of different games in the Big Ten, a light night of game action, and a coach is fined for sharing something meant to be private.
In our latest podcast, we talk about a couple of road wins that had never happened before, plus an oddity in the ACC, how several conferences including the Atlantic 10 are shaping up after recent action, and a coach getting fired on Monday despite no big off-court issues.
It’s early yet, but on the first full day of Atlantic 10 play, things largely held to form and that also meant a few road wins. Plus the home team comes out on top in a rivalry game, and a stunner in the Pac-12 before a blowout later on.
Conference play is about to begin in earnest all around the country. How does every conference in Division I shape up after non-conference play has (mostly) completed? We take a look here.
The early efficiency numbers in the Atlantic 10, which are shared herem are both enlightening and misleading at the same time.
Another season is almost here, and while the season seems to start too early, it might be just right this time around. It’s high time we got to focus on the action on the hardwood instead of off it.
