Notre Dame may have already lost any slim hope of an at-large bid, but a loss like Wednesday night’s is tough to stomach all the same. Plus the Flyers cruise on the road, the Wildcats can still win again, and some Tigers are going in the wrong direction as the regular season winds down.
St. Peter’s and LIU matched up at the Barclays Center, with the Peacocks getting a win while showing some growing pains.
Marquette got all they could handle for a while, before their best player took over and got some help along the way. Plus one guy comes through twice in a double overtime game, a few other results of note, and a program goes on probation.
Road teams ruled the games on tap in the Gavitt Tipoff Games, which has quietly become a nice early season event. Plus no surprise with a couple of SEC home wins, a close call with another SEC team’s flight, and one Blackbird had a really nice night to continue a good start.
As Championship Week heats up, we talk about bubble teams who may or may not want to earn their way into the NCAA Tournament, as well as a couple of mid-majors whose conference championship game was played earlier in the week.
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.
The best month of the year is here, and already the madness has started in one conference tournament, while it feels weird with another one going on. Plus a regular season title is clinched, a key meeting is on tap, and one powerhouse program could be on the move.
We conclude our look at our favorite games for every day of the season from November through February, our ultimate dream road trip through an entire college basketball season.
The Northeast Conference continues to regroup as top players are now routinely transferring up from conference schools. This is changing the challenge of running a program that has hit several member schools.
Notes from mid-December of the college basketball season.
