Notes, numbers, and a bunch of grumblings about college basketball in the middle of January, as we touch on some of the hot topics of late, plus players like Trae Young and Nate Grimes and teams like West Virginia, Temple and Pacific… The transfer debate has flared up yet again, […]
In our latest podcast, we talk about big road wins for a few teams, including a couple of bluebloods that looked destined for losses, as well as an unsettled Big Ten beyond one team, an SEC where you shouldn’t pay attention to bracketologists, and the problems with a proposed earlier start to the college basketball season.
It wasn’t quite up to the level of the last two Saturdays, and that’s not always going to happen. But we had plenty of games worth expanding on in terms of the results, and we take a look at them here.
Non-conference schedules like Georgetown’s will continue to happen as long as the NCAA Tournament selection committee allows them to.
As much of a dark of a day as Tuesday’s FBI indictments were was, it also was a great day presenting ample opportunity to make college basketball better, and to do better for our youth.
Louisville light sanctions-and reaction to them-continues trends of big boy schools pushing the envelope, even when caught red-handed.
In our latest podcast, the business of college sports, as well as that of sports media, takes center stage. We talk about the layoffs at ESPN, college basketball’s opening night, and Wichita State’s departure from the Missouri Valley Conference. We close with thoughts on a departed friend of the media business as well.
The worst part about the college basketball season being over is that, well, it’s over. No more games. No more debates about rankings, or teams, or players, or conferences. The day-to-day fun is gone. That’s bad. What’s pops up in its place is worse.
As a whole, this year’s selections for the 2017 NCAA Tournament were not filled with a ton of injustices in selection. Before handing out bouquets, though, it must be noted: that does not mean they were without significant errors.
The last Saturday Notes of the season looks back on an important day in many conferences, though one of the last games of the day will lead most coverage of the day.
