In our latest podcast, we talk about a rivalry game in the Big Ten, a wide-open ACC aside from one powerhouse, one conference that appears to be doing official reviews better, as well as two undefeated teams left and a couple of shockers in the past week.
Road wins were hard to come by in the Big Ten until Friday night, when it suddenly became a good night to be a road team, especially one surging team in particular. Plus two teams go in different directions in the Big East, a stunning rally ends with a buzzer-beater in the MAAC, and better news out of Miami concerning a coach.
In a Big East opener, a team that was expected to be pretty good was just that down the stretch to get a key road win. Plus a tough team to figure out down south, road teams are winning early in one conference, and a few other notable results include a milestone win.
In our last podcast before Christmas, we talk about a blueblood falling on hard times, a conference that had a tough night and should be a wide-open race, and the leader dealing with potential compensation matters.
Let’s give Gonzaga credit while talking about North Carolina’s concerns, because the Tar Heels lost to a really good team. Plus a tough night for the SEC, another tripleheader of action, and the leader of the pack wonders why so few people trust his organization.
Two out of three wasn’t bad in Brooklyn, with a game that wasn’t competitive sandwiched between two good ones. Plus the Tar Heels face a major challenge due to a key injury and a Pirate may not return to action so fast this time.
There might not have been many games on the schedule for Sunday, but it was quite a day with some big results. Plus a second home loss for one team, a few other games stand out, and a coach wasn’t able to go on Saturday.
The last game of the day was a big one in Ames, where the home team got a much-needed quality win. Plus the other team lost more than a game, an ACC power’s scoring struggles continue, and two teams got big road wins on the day.
The Big Ten/ACC Challenge is in the books, with the Big Ten winning and two ACC teams having scoring challenges. Plus a reversal of result in one rivalry, a big win for a team that’s had a tough few days, and one more team remains undefeated.
Oklahoma State continued what has been a pretty good week for the Big 12 in winning tournaments, though they are being chased. Plus a great week for a first-year coach, the Blue Demons remain undefeated, and a late game was as good as advertised.
