Of the 68 teams that competed in the NCAA Tournament back in March, it’s possible none of them got off to a worse start this following season than Iowa State. With four starters to replace from last year’s 24-win, Big 12 tourney championship team, the Cyclones opened with a 0-2 […]
As bizarre and at times frustrating of a start to the season as it has been for the Big Ten, there shouldn’t be a lot of surprise that it’s taken only two games of conference basketball play for that weirdness to already start showing through in league contests.
Heading into the first full week of action, we had no major surprises, but a few close calls on Sunday that might not portend the best of things for a few teams.
The season is almost here, and we take a look at some of what to expect this coming season. We have preseason polls, conference changes, a look at some conferences and some matchups to start the season.
The Big East had another good season in terms of NCAA Tournament bids, but looks top-heavy in more ways than one. Can anyone challenge Villanova? Can old powers St. John’s and Georgetown get going again?
In our first off-season edition, we look back on the season that just ended, including redemption for one team and a big development for a conference that has had more questions than success on the hardwood. We also look at players coming and going, as well as big coaching news on a day where there was a lot of it.
North Carolina was dominant at times in the 2016-17 season, maybe more so than any other team in the country. That was not the case in the NCAA Tournament, but it was still good enough for the Tar Heels to complete what they couldn’t the year before.
It’s all come down to one game. 351 teams in Division I began practice in the fall with the ultimate goal to be playing on this Monday night in April. One team had the chance to do this just last year, and lost a heart-breaker. The other team is here […]
It can be argued rather easily that no two programs in college basketball have been so consistently good for the last 30 years while still being kept from making a Final Four appearance as Gonzaga and Xavier. In that regard, it’s only fitting that both will now square off on Saturday, with one guaranteed to make its first-ever national semifinals appearance.
Wednesday meant a day on the subway between two tournaments in the New York area, first at the Barclays Center and then Madison Square Garden.
