Passionate rivalries. Contrasts in styles. Outstanding players. Coaches with the freedom to coach teams the way they want to, and taking advantage of that in different ways. And, yes, very relevant regular season games. Wednesday night featured the very best of what college basketball has to offer, in so very many ways.
We are still barely past the halfway mark of this college basketball season, but there’s a question that probably should start getting pondered a little bit: Is Utah a Final Four contender?
A coach is ready to call it a career at season’s end, and we look at the job he did. Plus an independent gets another nice win, more pieces for LSU, and a light night of game action.
The 9 p.m. EST block of games Wednesday night-many of them on TV-may go down as one of the uglier two-hour stretches in NCAA Division I college basketball history.

A busy day of tournament action included one championship game, while several others have their championship matchup set. Plus a couple of late surprises and a couple of key injuries in tournaments.
For all the of the bad TV ESPN has thrown at us in recent years (think ‘First Take’) it’s 24-hour college hoops marathon remains pure ESPN at its best.
There’s a lot of talk about Kentucky after they trailed at halftime, plus a tripleheader in Boston and some news with Florida ahead of some good matchups to start the week
