On a light night of action, a Big East battle that tipped a little later was everything we could have hoped for, and a big win for a team that had lost three in a row. Plus there’s no doubt who’s on top in one league, two teams have a reversal of fortune in the Big Ten, and a Wildcat is moving on.
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.
Only one undefeated team remains as an arch rival knocks off the only one that was in action on Wednesday. Plus a Big East team plays like they were expected to, while the rest of the conference is simply unpredictable, and a buzzer-beater in Columbia.
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.
In a game that served as a real opportunity for the home team, Butler went on the road and took care of business in impressive fashion. Plus the Big Ten gets more interesting, an Ivy League rivalry has a similar result, and a few other results of note from a light night of action.
A Big Ten program that hasn’t been relevant in some time just might be moving back in that direction after all, despite a few earlier misses. Plus the two undefeated teams were both in action, a Big East team gets back on track, and one coach will get to stay in his current job a little longer.
2019 ended with a reminder of how conference play is different, especially having to go on the road. Plus a shocker in Ames, a near-shocker in the Big East, and a mix of conference and non-conference games closed out the year.
In a Big East opener, a team that was expected to be pretty good was just that down the stretch to get a key road win. Plus a tough team to figure out down south, road teams are winning early in one conference, and a few other notable results include a milestone win.
We look back at the Diamond Head Classic championship, with the winner clearly trending upward, and then back to a busy Saturday. Included in that Saturday was a blueblood losing two in a row through offensive struggles, and then we talk about a departed big man.
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.
