Your Home For College Hoops

There was no shortage of urgency heading into the home stretch for NC State, and they certainly showed it in taking advantage of a big quality win opportunity. Plus the Wildcats have a bigger lead, a dramatic home win on a night with road wins in the Big East, and two league leaders go on the road and win to stay tied at the top.
On Tuesday night, we saw two teams in the Midwest continue to go in opposite directions. Plus a couple of buzzer-beaters, some ACC and SEC games that didn’t require them, and a Commodore will be gone as expected.
On a night with three matchups between the conferences, the ACC had the SEC’s number, especially in Raleigh. Plus the hits keep coming for one conference out west, another west coast team looks better all the time, and a couple of coaches will be under contract a little longer.
A very unproven team nearly won its conference opener on a big stage, but blew it. Plus more road teams win in one conference opening night, we now know why a Wolfpack guard is suspended, and a long-time great coach will get his due.
It’s March, and the madness has already begun in the Big South and Ohio Valley Conferences. Plus one school wins an appeal and can play in the postseason, and much more tournament action is ahead.
