In the Big East, one coach who just continues to win also continues to not get a lot of pub about the job he’s done. Plus a surprise in the ACC, more overtime success for an SEC school, and good news coming out of a scary moment from a night earlier.
Another long losing streak has come to an end, and against an unlikely opponent as well. Plus a tale of two halves in the ACC, some big shooting in the Big East and one Big Ten game, and a Big 12 team is finally on the board as well.
There’s little separation throughout the Big East, and Wednesday reminded us of that. Plus one team stays undefeated, a dubious record in the SEC, and twice the bad news in Madison.
An NBA legend who meant so much to the game itself is gone too soon. Plus a rare good day to be a road team in one conference, an unpleasant surprise in another, and the Missouri Valley is all tied up at the top.
2019 ended with a reminder of how conference play is different, especially having to go on the road. Plus a shocker in Ames, a near-shocker in the Big East, and a mix of conference and non-conference games closed out the year.
We tip off our season-ending conference Post-Mortem series with the Missouri Valley, where parity was rampant but as a whole it wasn’t a vintage season as inconsistency and injuries plagued many teams.
From 5-27 four years ago to conference champions, Bradley’s slow but gradual climb up the MVC standings has a satisfying ending. Plus, more final notes from the 2019 edition of Arch Madness.
Three more tickets are punched, and all three seemed unlikely in one way or another. Plus a few semifinals are set while others are right behind them, an unexpected outright regular season title, and a couple of Big Ten teams need to stop the bleeding.
Southern Illinois lost in the quarterfinals of the MVC Tournament, and the conference also lost one of its greatest cheerleaders when Barry Hinson announced he was stepping down right after the game.
Few have been talking about the ACC regular season co-champions despite the incredible season they have had. Plus one team is now officially in the field, upsets rule a couple of conference tournaments, and one team backs into an outright regular season title.
