On a light night of action, a Big East battle that tipped a little later was everything we could have hoped for, and a big win for a team that had lost three in a row. Plus there’s no doubt who’s on top in one league, two teams have a reversal of fortune in the Big Ten, and a Wildcat is moving on.
The day began with an absolute shellacking, one that was as surprising as it was necessary for the winning team. Plus a sweep in the state of Oregon, a Husky is done for the year after a career night, and the third time is not the charm for a now-former Lobo.
Conference play is about to begin in earnest all around the country. How does every conference in Division I shape up after non-conference play has (mostly) completed? We take a look here.
Another season of college basketball beckons, and as usual, quite a bit has changed since last season. Three big sources of change have seemingly been on the rise over time, but perhaps we are now getting used to this.
The Horizon League through some rocky times has seen a pair of programs emerge as its best, and Northern Kentucky and Wright State engaged in a good league race in 2018-19 with the Norse making their second NCAA trip in three years.
On a night with five automatic bids handed out, one of them was a shocker to gain a second bid for the league. Plus it wasn’t a good night for higher seeds, and one more coach is out.
Wofford struck for an incredible run in the final minutes to rally for the Southern Conference title to cap an incredible run through the league, while UNC Greensboro now waits. Plus, more conference tourney roundups, and firings showing where schools’ priorities still are.
Marquette looked in control at Seton Hall before a stunning finish. The Pirates were the rare team to post a big win Wednesday while a number of others took head-scratching losses. Plus, Horizon, NEC and OVC tourneys rolling.
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.
A tense, terrific, every-possession-counts battle saw Cincinnati rally to edge UCF on Thursday. Plus, Chris Clemons & Mike Daum climb the scoring lists, San Francisco with a huge road comeback, Michigan makes it look easy & more.
