A wild night in the Ivy League makes for an interesting final night of regular season play ahead. Plus conference tournaments move into high gear, a long-time coach is moving on, and developments in the FBI investigation take some attention away from what is happening on the court.
One team whose season looked like it could get derailed at several points has just continued to win after regrouping. Plus a damaging loss in the ACC, Big Ten slides continue, and one mid-major is as hotly contested as they come.
It was a bad night to be a basketball fan in one hotbed state. Really bad. Plus a wild night was busy in the Big Ten, the Hawks continue to struggle, and the Wildcats win another despite losing a key reserve for a while.
A Big 12 team that has come back to earth in conference play almost suffered a devastating loss on Wednesday – almost. Plus a historic Big East start, road wins in the Big Ten, and a busy night of movement in the Atlantic 10.
A season that once looked very promising for Nebraska may be coming crashing down. Plus a number of blowouts with a few close ones mixed in, an apparently wide-open Big 12, and a blowout in a mid-major showdown.
Villanova still hasn’t lost a Big East game and looks more like the Villanova we have come to know of late. Plus a light night of action saw two road wins in the same conference, more NCAA issues, and an arrest in the Ivy League.
There’s little talk of Georgia State as an at-large team in mid-January, but there probably would’ve been a year ago. Plus, notes on Texas Tech, Maryland, Loyola Chicago, Wofford, Purdue’s Trevion Williams and more.
Coming off a 14-point home loss to Georgia Tech, Syracuse was apparently right where it wanted to be heading into Duke, where-sure enough-the Orange stunned the top-ranked team. Plus, Pittsburgh growing up fast, Nebraska wins on the road and buzzer-beaters in the MEAC.
A light night of college basketball was full of close games, with none better or bigger than the only one with a late tip. Plus close ones in the MAAC include road wins, weather postpones an SEC tilt, and a former Michigan State mentor passes on.
Three games on Tuesday told us that the Big 12 should be fun to watch. Plus a not-so-surprising team is undefeated early, another conference in the Midwest looks like a fun race to watch, and a small surprise undefeated early on out west.
