Your Home For College Hoops

Welcome to the latest edition of Talking Hoops With Ted Sarandis. It’s our first special podcast of the final days of Championship Week as we mainly look at tournaments Ted is covering in New York. The spotlight for the past couple of days, especially Wednesday, is on who won’t be […]
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.
Recapping the first full day of the 2019 NCAA Tournament, and a day light on major storylines had one above the rest: Murray State’s star sophomore guard Ja Morant, who dominated a game despite taking just nine shots.
In our latest podcast, we look at a few early games in the Big East and Atlantic 10 Tournaments, a few bubble teams in action, one more automatic bid that went out on Wednesday, and a shocking coaching move.
Two teams entered the day undefeated and remain that way, and both are led by great coaches and there is some irony in who they are. Plus a busy day for the Big Ten, another conference seems tough to figure out right now, and an important big man is done for the year.
The NCAA’s changes to allow time in June for players to be evaluated with their school teams was well-intentioned, but reality is a little more complicated. Plus a light night of game action, a heart procedure appears to have gone well, and a longer deal for a coach in North Carolina.
Notes on the opening night of college basketball, which was essentially for diehards only after being buried by poor decision-making that set the season’s start date on…Election Night? The night did include a few upsets and some individual standouts amidst a mass of buy games.
The Atlantic 10 went somewhat as expected this year in that the top three teams were expected to be there. Things will look a little different on the benches next year, and there may be other places where that is the case as well.
In our latest podcast, we talk about the great games Kentucky has been a part of lately. We go on to other ACC matters involving arch rivals, as well as some quick hits and a conference race that should be as good as expected.
With so many colleges in the midst of final exams and rightly keeping their schedules short, the highlights were limited in the sport Thursday night. Most of the action took place in the Atlantic and South regions of the country.
