In our latest podcast, Kevin McNamara of the Providence Journal joins us to talk about the Big East, Providence, the brave new world that is coming in Division I, and some recent games. We also get into a former coach getting punished by the NCAA and raise the question of how the game is being called regarding freedom of movement.
There was no shortage of urgency heading into the home stretch for NC State, and they certainly showed it in taking advantage of a big quality win opportunity. Plus the Wildcats have a bigger lead, a dramatic home win on a night with road wins in the Big East, and two league leaders go on the road and win to stay tied at the top.
In our latest podcast, we start with some developing news off the court, then deal with matters on the court like Duke’s two big wins in three nights, Creighton getting a big win on the road, and much of the Atlantic 10 appearing to revert to the mean since conference play began.
In the Big East, one coach who just continues to win also continues to not get a lot of pub about the job he’s done. Plus a surprise in the ACC, more overtime success for an SEC school, and good news coming out of a scary moment from a night earlier.
In our latest podcast, we’re joined by Stadium insider Jeff Goodman and talk about a number of subjects, especially the state of the game. Later, we look at a long losing streak that came to a halt, a team that still has a chance to run the table, and what games to look forward to.
Another long losing streak has come to an end, and against an unlikely opponent as well. Plus a tale of two halves in the ACC, some big shooting in the Big East and one Big Ten game, and a Big 12 team is finally on the board as well.
Iowa got a nice win over Illinois on Sunday to get within a game of first, which was far from a given after roster changes and in-season adversity since the end of last year. Plus the Red Storm just can’t pull out wins in conference, one mid-major league race gets a little more interesting, and some clarity comes on a bizarre incident from a night earlier.
In our latest podcast, we start with the Big 12/SEC Challenge, then look at Baylor and how they stayed on top of a relatively stable poll, a few conference races, and how some national awards appear to shape up.
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.
Can the ACC picture for the NCAA Tournament get any more murky? Plus no surprises in the Big Ten despite one team without key players, rallies in the SEC and a health concern postpones a couple of games.
