After higher seeds routinely won the first couple of days, the Missouri Valley Conference highlighted a day where several lower seeds won. Plus one more regular season title has been clinched, a blueblood disagrees with some allegations levied against them, and the show will go on for one school next week.
Monday night brought a result no one ever saw coming back in different times for a program and its coach. Plus a new number one hangs on, a clock malfunction down south, and some sad news with a coaching legend.
A battle of two superb defenses was a decisive win for Texas Tech, Purdue and Tennessee turned a blowout into a classic, and Thursday even featured a triple-overtime game in the College Insider tourney.
Half of the field headed to New York in the NIT is known, and both could use this as a springboard into next season. Plus more action in the CIT, coaching changes take center stage and more players are on the move as well.
The Streak is officially over, the end of an incredible run. Plus big results in the Big Ten, a great road team in the ACC, and conference tournament play continues to get underway.
In our latest podcast, we look back at a big game in the ACC, one that could have implications beyond the game itself. Then we look at an ACC team that has picked up a couple of big wins in its rebuilding process, a fun SEC, a bizarre incident on Wednesday night and further Division I expansion that is coming up.
Alabama and Central Florida apparently aren’t worthy adversaries in football, yet have played a home-and-home the last two years in basketball, with UCF winning both. Plus, Arizona rolls, the Belfast Classic begins and Belmont and Norfolk State among OT winners.
After a couple years of North Carolina Central serving as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s meanest team on the block, the MEAC held considerably more suspense in 2015-16.
Where has the 2015-16 season gone? The presence of a leap year day yesterday did nothing to convince us that the past four months have absolutely flown by. If anything, it only enhanced that feeling, as conference postseason honors started trickling in at the same time that we started checking out the brackets for the first conference tournaments that kick in starting…today?
Neither Oakland nor Iona are likely to win the regular season championship in their respective conferences. It also should surprise just about no one if either or both are in the NCAA Tournament a month from now.
