Let’s give Gonzaga credit while talking about North Carolina’s concerns, because the Tar Heels lost to a really good team. Plus a tough night for the SEC, another tripleheader of action, and the leader of the pack wonders why so few people trust his organization.
A big win for a program that has been quietly solid for a while is the latest sign that this could be a year where they break through for the postseason. Plus a comeback win down south, the Irish take a personnel hit, and there is at least some good news with a future three-game series.
Two Big 12 programs got big wins on Wednesday and hope each is a sign of better things to come. Plus more tournament action includes a few other championship games, a Tiger will be out as long as first thought, and wrist injuries sideline a couple of key veterans.
One of the last games of the night was all we could hope for and more, and also leaves one hopeful about future matchups between the two teams. Plus more tournaments get going, a straw breaks the camel’s back with transfer waivers, and a Wildcat is gone from the program.
In our latest podcast, we look at a big shift in the polls early on and how what’s behind that might be another bad consequence of the early start to the season, as well as an unexpected performance last week. We close with a look ahead to some early tournaments that are just around the corner.
For the second week in a row, Kentucky didn’t look quite like the team they did on opening night, but this time didn’t pay the same price for it. Plus the Aggies keep winning without a key player, a Blazer is gone, and a few other games had noteworthy results.
With over a week of the season now in the books, we have plenty to talk about, starting with the biggest shocker of the early going. We also look at more consequences of the too-early start to the season, the James Wiseman story, and the potential for a resurgence in the Pac-12, among other things.
Just a week into the season, we’ve already had our first shocker and second top team in the polls to go down. Plus other close calls in the same conference, the Gavitt Games continue, and a conference’s attempt at a resurgence continues.
Opening night was as good as advertised, led by the big doubleheader in New York where the nightcap belonged to one freshman in particular. Plus a few road wins lead some close ones, a couple of mild surprises, and some major league blowouts with non-Division I schools.
As the season gets closer, some burning questions come to mind, and we take a look at them as well as what to expect in a few more conferences this season.
