Your Home For College Hoops
Tuesday, November 5, 2024
Thanksgiving Day traditionally hasn’t been a hotbed for college basketball, but in recent years the sport has had an increasing presence on the day, with the continued proliferation of exempted tournaments. (And that’s not an all bad thing, considering the lackluster quality of the NFL games yesterday…)
You can go a long time in this college basketball season and not have a better day of games than Tuesday provided, as the day was loaded with power matchups, revivals of rivalries, and just plain good games that were worthy of the national platforms they were provided, even if played at times that were the furthest thing from prime time.
A bad day for No. 2 seeds tells us a lot about the winners, including one with a coach whose legend grows. Plus a near miss for one conference, other top seeds move on, and more coaching news emerges.
