Syracuse may be young, may have a paper-thin rotation and may have been coming into Monday night’s game at Louisville off consecutive unflattering losses to Georgia Tech and by 15 at home to Virginia, but one should know by now not to write off Jim Boeheim’s team just yet.
In our latest podcast, we talk about a lot of what has happened in the ACC and SEC, including the Big 12/SEC Challenge, whether or not Kentucky is turning a corner, as well as the story at Michigan State.
We wonder if Kentucky is turning a corner, and that’s not a trivial question for a couple of reasons. Plus a freshman to the rescue again, a surprise leader goes two games up, and a tough day in Chapel Hill.
There just might be a team finally ready to break free of the mass of sameness in the Missouri Valley, as Loyola Chicago took hold of first place at the halfway mark in resounding fashion Wednesday night in a battle for first at Drake.
In our latest podcast, we talk about big road wins for a few teams, including a couple of bluebloods that looked destined for losses, as well as an unsettled Big Ten beyond one team, an SEC where you shouldn’t pay attention to bracketologists, and the problems with a proposed earlier start to the college basketball season.

New Mexico State has been a quality program for a long time. But this year is different.
Can one player make this much difference? When it comes to Oklahoma, that answer seems increasingly more obvious by the minute, as Trae Young is the hottest player in the country.
