Turnovers have suddenly become a problem for College of Charleston and contributed to their first three-game losing streak of the season. There is time to correct that and make that just a short-term issue for a team that in the long-term appears to be in good shape.
It seems like so long ago that Memphis was thought to be a top 10 team and perhaps even a national title contender. Plus things are getting more interesting out west, a big win in the Big Ten for a team that has been up and down, and the challenges continue in Austin.
Cincinnati won a big road game that by all rights, they should have lost, including what happened before the game. Plus the tight race continues out west, a new leader in the CAA, and now there’s no mystery in a couple of recent Big Ten stories.
At first, the results were concerning, but the bottom is falling out of a Pac-12 favorite’s season. Plus home teams win again in the Big Ten, a very tight race in one mid-major almost got even tighter, and a Buckeye will be out to deal with an important matter off the court.
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.
Hofstra had a nice halftime lead, but almost let Thursday night’s game in Boston get away for another tough loss to Northeastern. That’s when Desure Buie and Eli Pemberton helped them pull one out with a lot of toughness when it counted.
Jordan Roland was in a slump for most of a month, but his big second half against Hofstra might be just what he – and Northeastern – needs for the remainder of the season, although getting more support will help.
In our latest podcast, we start with a double overtime thriller in the Big Ten, then talk about two long-time powerhouses who could be headed for the unthinkable, a few key results from Wednesday night, and a Big 12 school that hasn’t looked as good of late after a promising start to the season.
If good things come in threes, college basketball delivered good things in the form of three big overtime games on Thursday night. Plus an early showdown is ahead in one conference, a few other interesting results on the night, and a Husky must sit because of academics.
After a coaching change led to several key transfers, many felt William & Mary were destined to be closer to the bottom than the top of the CAA this season. By emphasizing relationships and chemistry, the Tribe has instead been a pleasant surprise through early CAA play.
