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.
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.
In our latest podcast, we start with new developments related to the FBI investigation, but also ask an important question about the media reports. Then we look at a streak that came to an end, who could win an outright regular season conference title that might be a surprise from a couple of weeks ago, and a big night in the Ivy League among other things.
With a little still left to decide, the MAAC will end up with six teams very close to each other. Plus a little salvation for an Atlantic 10 team, little changes on Friday in an academic league, and a big Buckeye is suspended as a big game beckons.
Early on in the Ivy League, things look a bit different from what was expected before the season. Plus the Jayhawks get a bad call, a couple of home teams pull off big wins, and one team goes on the road to stay tied atop their conference.
A long stretch of dominance in Philadelphia has come to an end. Plus double-doubles help a couple of teams win, a quiet 10-2 start, and a couple of key players will miss some important action
After Saturday’s loss, what do we make of Kentucky at this point given that they have lost to their toughest opponents while beating up on worse teams? Plus lots of rivalry games were on tap, while one school couldn’t travel for their game and saw it canceled.
Road teams ruled the games on tap in the Gavitt Tipoff Games, which has quietly become a nice early season event. Plus no surprise with a couple of SEC home wins, a close call with another SEC team’s flight, and one Blackbird had a really nice night to continue a good start.
Some games just need to be played between schools that are in the same geographic area, and we got one of them on Wednesday night. Plus the Bison aren’t going away quietly, and a couple of injuries come into play including one that will end a player’s season.
The Ancient Eight appears to have a lot of potential in the seasons to come, building on what the programs showed this season, especially among their underclassmen.
