In our latest podcast, we look at off-court matters like a new name, image and likeness law as well as the first school to be punished by the NCAA coming out of the FBI investigation. Also, we look at a big loss for the Gators and some questions about the future of mid-major conferences, especially if they have a big geographic footprint.
The 2019-20 season was as competitive as expected in the CAA both in the regular season and the conference tournament. In the end, the winner of both was a team that had been close before and finally broke through.
In our latest podcast, we talk about how uncertainty is all over the college basketball landscape, plus what we missed out on in not having a postseason this year.
On a day where five automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament went out, there was bigger news that was not as positive. Plus, yes, five bids did go out, another championship matchup is all set, and a few more tournaments get underway.
As the regular season finishes for all teams and only conference tournament games remain before the postseason, we look at how a number of conferences finished and some coaching news.
A light night of action starts the week with a champion crowned despite a prior champion’s best efforts. Plus a rematch in the nation’s capital is ahead, an in-state matchup will come in another final, and a couple of close ones out west close the night.
Three more automatic bids went out on Sunday, two of them to repeat champions, to set the stage for the week ahead. Plus lower seeds rule in the Colonial, three teams share the regular season title in two conferences, and a coaching change comes out west on a day off from tournament action.
Before the CAA Tournament gets going in the nation’s capital this weekend, the postseason awards will be handed out. Here is one voter’s take on the awards this season, with a few tough votes for the big awards as part of it.
Wisconsin is playing well at a good time, and the Badgers kept that up by winning on the road against another team playing well of late. Plus a couple of regular season titles are still to be decided, while a first-year Division I team claims at least a share of a conference title and overtime is needed in a key Conference USA game.
The Pac-12 has much to be settled, but two relative surprises among the top three after Thursday night. Plus a big rally shakes up the top in one mid-major, the Hawkeyes take care of business at home, and a coach gets a show-cause penalty.
