Your Home For College Hoops

Even acknowledging that it took some time for the Badgers to find their way under him (remember, the team was 2-4 in his first six games), what Greg Gard has done righting a previously middling team at Wisconsin deserves serious notice, to the point where it’s hard to imagine many others could’ve done it better this year.
California caps off a big weekend in Washington in style. Plus a few bubble teams get wins, the first conference regular season titles are clinched, and one ACC game was never close.
Miami (Fla.) certainly appears to be well past its Dow Jones season of a year ago. This year, the Hurricanes have established themselves as a legitimate top 25 team, and quite likely will continue to be even more than that if they can continue results like their 80-69 win over Duke Monday night.
With the college football season finale taking place on approximately 17 different networks Monday night, most leagues chose to sit out the evening. For those looking for some college hoops, though, it offered the opportunity to sneak a glance at a pair of programs that have hidden gem written all over them, and have for some time.

The Patriot League remains in a good place, as it had a highly-competitive race as expected and should see more of the same next season as well.
We should know who the Pac-12 Coach of the Year will be after Sunday. Plus a team can’t go to their locker room, an expected showdown may have lost its luster, and a Cardinal is long gone with the regular season almost over.
The Pac-12 looks more and more like it will come down to a game at the end of the month. And it looks like that game will be well worth watching, with Sunday not changing any of this. Arizona and Utah have set the pace in the Pac-12 this season, […]
While Notre Dame and Duke were putting on a terrific game, one that should confirm both as deserving top 10 teams right now, Wednesday was not a good evening for a couple ACC teams at home, and it could be a night that comes back to haunt those teams on Selection Sunday in just under 6 1/2 weeks.
