Clemson has a good coach in Brad Brownell, has had him for six years in fact. Brownell won big at previous jobs at UNC-Wilmington and Wright State and has won nearly 62% of games in his career. Still, the sad truth is many might consider Brownell lucky to still be the coach at Clemson.
It’s way, way too early in the season to be counting anyone out, and that lesson was given on more than a few occasions Tuesday night.
Going into the 2015-16 season, we wanted to highlight what we see as the best game of the day, for every day of the regular season. The games we would go to every day, if we could.
Boise State made the NCAA Tournament without a key player for much of last season. They lose the best player from that team, but should still have a shot at an NCAA Tournament bid.
Calm in the face of daunting situations. Both Robert Morris and Dayton had it Wednesday night, and as a result, both are moving on in the NCAA Tournament.
With so many years of “bracketology” and the resulting better understandings of the NCAA Tournament selection process that has come from it, there are many years where predicting the teams in the field is not that much of a mystery, sometimes almost easy even. This year is not one of those years.
Some college basketball thoughts from the end of February, just before we turn the calendar to the most exciting month on the sporting calendar:
In the wake of Monday night’s Kansas/Kansas State game, court-storming continued to be a big topic of discussion on Tuesday.
Passionate rivalries. Contrasts in styles. Outstanding players. Coaches with the freedom to coach teams the way they want to, and taking advantage of that in different ways. And, yes, very relevant regular season games. Wednesday night featured the very best of what college basketball has to offer, in so very many ways.
We lost another college basketball legend on Wednesday as Jerry Tarkanian passed away at the age of 84.
