In our latest podcast, we look at recent decisions made regarding college football and what they mean for college basketball, including some developments since those decisions were announced. We also wonder if a commissioner is on a hot seat once again, a college assistant heading to the NBA, and some tragic news with a former ACC big man.
In our latest podcast, there was once optimism, but that appears to be fading, and a familiar league was a trendsetter once again. Plus a few other matters are discussed, including a new executive director for the National Association of Basketball Coaches.
Boston University won its first Patriot League championship, and the long haul for their coach has the desired result at last. Plus many tournaments get going, one postseason event won’t happen at all, and a coach takes ill during a season-ending loss.
As the regular season finishes for all teams and only conference tournament games remain before the postseason, we look at how a number of conferences finished and some coaching news.
The first two NCAA Tournament bids went out after dramatic finishes in championship games to set the stage. Plus a long day of tournaments ends with a thrilling back-and-forth between two star guards, a surprise champion in the ACC and a three-way tie atop the Big East.
In our latest podcast, we talk about a close call in the Mountain West Tournament and most of the power conferences being largely undecided heading into the final days before conference tournaments are the only game in town.
As conference tournaments get into full swing, the Mountain West takes center stage with its share of drama, including a shocker to end the day. Plus the Huskies get a big win to affect the top of their conference race, the Pac-12 is down to two for its regular season crown, and the Eagles soar above their competitors to control their own destiny in the Big Sky.
On a wild Saturday, one of the last games of the night had a big result and a rather surprising team on top in their conference. Plus one conference has to wait before their bracket is known, and an SEC school retires the jersey of a big star from 30 years ago.
Wisconsin is playing well at a good time, and the Badgers kept that up by winning on the road against another team playing well of late. Plus a couple of regular season titles are still to be decided, while a first-year Division I team claims at least a share of a conference title and overtime is needed in a key Conference USA game.
The Pac-12 has much to be settled, but two relative surprises among the top three after Thursday night. Plus a big rally shakes up the top in one mid-major, the Hawkeyes take care of business at home, and a coach gets a show-cause penalty.
