It has not been the best of seasons for the Missouri Valley Conference so far, but a big midseason showdown is coming after Loyola and Illinois State won on Wednesday. Also, St. John’s bounces back in the Big East and a Maine native has a historic performance for his homestate Black Bears.
Kansas State appears to be back, and so is the Big 12 we’ve come to know over recent years. Plus, double ejections in Tulsa/Connecticut, South Carolina pulls out another in the SEC, Houston keeps rolling, VCU back on the rise and more.
Checking in on new coaches getting their first wins at Connecticut, Louisville and Siena. Plus, Stephen F. Austin’s early-season woes, and looking at a big schedule coming up Friday.
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.
Not much changed in the standings this year, though one thing was different: the degree to which the champion dominated and made history in the process. Will much change next year?
A long losing streak in a city rivalry comes to an end, and not a moment too soon. Plus another Spartan goes down and Kentucky catches a cold instead of something else.
We continue our preseason quick glance at the conferences by checking in with the MAC, MEAC, MVC and Mountain West.
America East had a good non-conference run this season and saw four teams reach postseason play, but the conference appears to be stuck in neutral from a competitive standpoint.
An entertaining game is unfortunately followed by a very less-than-entertaining melee. Plus a home team takes over late in the Atlantic 10, cancer hits the basketball world again, and a Tiger’s career may be in jeopardy.
The America East had a very familiar look at the top this season, in more ways than one. Will that change in the foreseeable future?
