In a must-win game that was a big opportunity for the home team, Maryland rallied and then ripped their hearts out of them. Plus the leaders win in the Southern, a key guard comes back in a good win in the SEC, and a long show-cause will be one to keep in mind later on.
The Pac-12 has much to be settled, but two relative surprises among the top three after Thursday night. Plus a big rally shakes up the top in one mid-major, the Hawkeyes take care of business at home, and a coach gets a show-cause penalty.
Another long losing streak has come to an end, and against an unlikely opponent as well. Plus a tale of two halves in the ACC, some big shooting in the Big East and one Big Ten game, and a Big 12 team is finally on the board as well.
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.
We tip off our season-ending conference Post-Mortem series with the Missouri Valley, where parity was rampant but as a whole it wasn’t a vintage season as inconsistency and injuries plagued many teams.
A Big East team went on the road really needing a win in a place they had never won and where few road teams do. Plus a close call in the SEC, road wins in the Big Ten, and a topsy-turvy night in one of the best mid-major conferences.
In our latest podcast, we talk about Arizona State’s win over Kansas and how the Sun Devils have carried the flag for a struggling Pac-12, as well as a couple of hot seats out west, a great coaching job in Texas, and a wide-open race for a major honor.
Merry Christmas. On this Christmas Day, we remember one of the bigger upsets all-time in college basketball which took place 30 years ago as an NCAA Division II team rained three-pointers to stun a top-5 Division I squad.
The Missouri Valley Conference had a nice day on Sunday, which can make things a little better late in the non-conference game. Plus another thriller in Las Vegas, and the Cougars run away from a visiting team that didn’t have a good night shooting the ball.
Campbell’s 5-foot-9 guard Chris Clemons has become a must-watch player, and nearly brought the Camels back to upset Georgetown-were it not for Trey Mourning. Plus, Ja Morant & Charlie Brown deliver prize individual performances and Cincinnati wins the Emerald Coast Classic.
