The Spartans got a big win with a dramatic finish, but let’s hope both their opponent and the sport didn’t lose a bright young star. Plus a team remains undefeated overall, another stays undefeated in conference, and a traditional power continues to struggle at home.
There’s little separation throughout the Big East, and Wednesday reminded us of that. Plus one team stays undefeated, a dubious record in the SEC, and twice the bad news in Madison.
Not many results were all that surprising on Wednesday night, but one in the American Athletic Conference was a big surprise. Plus little separation remains in a couple of conferences, suspensions are handed out, and a powerhouse in one conference takes a big injury hit.
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.
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.
In a short time, a lot changed at Clemson without even considering the football team’s tough night on Monday night. Plus a dramatic ending in the Big Ten seems par for the course, an injured star looks just fine in a big win, and the Buckeyes and Jayhawks win while short-handed.
A long-running streak of futility has finally come to an end, in what has looked like a rare opportunity for it to happen. Plus a Flyer is grounded for the moment, a Commodore is likely done for the year, and a long-time coach can’t stop competing or winning.
It’s early yet, but on the first full day of Atlantic 10 play, things largely held to form and that also meant a few road wins. Plus the home team comes out on top in a rivalry game, and a stunner in the Pac-12 before a blowout later on.
In a Big East opener, a team that was expected to be pretty good was just that down the stretch to get a key road win. Plus a tough team to figure out down south, road teams are winning early in one conference, and a few other notable results include a milestone win.
The Cougars are coming alive after a slow start, and they have been aided by a talented guard who is close to home and with a better fit. Plus a reprimand from a league office, a new Volunteer in town, and a Seahawk is going home.
