It looks more and more like Dayton is having a special season, one that continued with a buzzer-beater on the road on Friday night. Plus a couple of different games in the Big Ten, a light night of game action, and a coach is fined for sharing something meant to be private.
A wild night in the Ivy League makes for an interesting final night of regular season play ahead. Plus conference tournaments move into high gear, a long-time coach is moving on, and developments in the FBI investigation take some attention away from what is happening on the court.
With a little still left to decide, the MAAC will end up with six teams very close to each other. Plus a little salvation for an Atlantic 10 team, little changes on Friday in an academic league, and a big Buckeye is suspended as a big game beckons.
You may have forgotten about one of the modern day blueblood programs, and for somewhat understandable reason, but they reminded us that they are still around on Sunday. Plus the road is the great equalizer for one powerhouse program, a couple of mid-major races remain hotly contested, and a tie is broken in the Patriot League for now.
Someone in Iowa City has quite the clutch gene, and he buried Indiana on Friday night the way he buried another team not long ago. Plus a bit of clarity emerges in one league race, very little in another, and suspensions are in the news that don’t just include a player.
St. Peter’s battled Canisius valiantly, but lost another tough one all the same, and it was a good road win for Canisius. Ray has notes from this one in Jersey City.
The big showdown of the day was one where the winning team kept a great story of unexpected success going. Plus last-second finishes in the Big Ten, a bigger lead in the Valley, and a very tight race in a conference known for its competitiveness.
An eventful night in the Ivy League included a game that took a good deal of extra time to decide. Plus a slump in the Atlantic 10, an even tighter race in the MAAC, and a Husky out for much of the remainder of the season.
Early on in the Ivy League, things look a bit different from what was expected before the season. Plus the Jayhawks get a bad call, a couple of home teams pull off big wins, and one team goes on the road to stay tied atop their conference.
It has not been the best of seasons for the Missouri Valley Conference so far, but a big midseason showdown is coming after Loyola and Illinois State won on Wednesday. Also, St. John’s bounces back in the Big East and a Maine native has a historic performance for his homestate Black Bears.
