Your Home For College Hoops
Monday, November 4, 2024
This hasn’t been a season to remember for one of college basketball’s most consistent winners over the last few decades. Plus some Wildcats win at home, a tight race in the Midwest, a team out west remains winless in conference play, and suspensions are handed out from a brawl a day earlier.
Creighton mowed down Missouri-Kansas City in the only game in NCAA Division I Thursday night, but the Bluejays and their high-powered offense have work to do over the next few months to make the NCAA Tournament.
After the last day without a Division I game for a few months, we look at how the conferences shape up since non-conference play is just about in the books. Plus a story from the gridiron that seems to unbelievable to be a coincidence.
We continue with our countdown to the start of the college hoops season, taking a quick peek at Conference USA, the Horizon and Ivy leagues, MAAC, MAC and MEAC. Plus some interesting preseason results.
For a host of reasons, these are dark times right now for the Horizon League. And the 2017-18 season may have been rock bottom.
The busiest night for several days saw several convincing wins and an overtime game. Plus a scare in Brooklyn, another conference final is all set, and more coaching news includes an interesting report of something that has not happened yet.
A second straight late-season charge by UNC Greensboro in the Southern Conference has a happier ending this season. And the Spartans’ story may have another chapter or two left.
As four more NCAA Tournament bids go out, we had a little of everything in those games. Plus a few more championship game matchups are set, a few quarterfinal games were especially close, and the final regular season games are in the books.
Has Nebraska done enough to get into the NCAA Tournament? They will be an interesting case. Plus a late-emerging champion down south, a damaging loss out west, and some bad off-court news to close out a weekend that had too much of that already.
The FBI investigation into corruption is about to hit college basketball in a big way, Plus a thriller in Bloomington, different key road results in the Midwest, another big showdown ahead in the northeast, and a Tiger is done for the season and beyond.
