Welcome to the latest edition of Talking Hoops With Ted Sarandis. It’s our first special podcast of the final days of Championship Week as we mainly look at tournaments Ted is covering in New York. The spotlight for the past couple of days, especially Wednesday, is on who won’t be […]
The SEC may be led by the team most expected, but how they got there has certainly not been a linear journey. Plus a Big Ten star returns from injury with a big game, a new record in the Big 12, and the Northeast Conference gets tighter at the top.
As we near the end of May, we focus on a big move in the coaching ranks, one that had the potential to set a series of coaching dominoes in motion but did not. We also look at some big news for a blueblood program and a story that shows that even media relations is not immune from puzzling moves this off-season.
A battle of two superb defenses was a decisive win for Texas Tech, Purdue and Tennessee turned a blowout into a classic, and Thursday even featured a triple-overtime game in the College Insider tourney.
Tuesday saw the end of the tenures of a pair of Philadelphia basketball institutions. One was known to be imminent; the other was not. Also, Belmont & Fairleigh Dickinson get their first NCAA tourney wins, and NIT, CBI and CIT recaps.
It was a bad night to be a basketball fan in one hotbed state. Really bad. Plus a wild night was busy in the Big Ten, the Hawks continue to struggle, and the Wildcats win another despite losing a key reserve for a while.
An eventful night in the Ivy League included a game that took a good deal of extra time to decide. Plus a slump in the Atlantic 10, an even tighter race in the MAAC, and a Husky out for much of the remainder of the season.
It’s time to ask a seemingly age-old question: is this the year Kansas finally gets knocked off in the Big 12? Plus a big win in the Big East, there’s a leader in the Valley again, and both a pleasant surprise and disappointment in Philadelphia.
It wasn’t a wild night in terms of results, so an ACC result stood out a little more than it might have otherwise. Plus a team wins with its star playing just three minutes, a Final Four team continues to turn a corner a year later, and a couple of first conference wins come a bit later than expected.
Campbell’s 5-foot-9 guard Chris Clemons has become a must-watch player, and nearly brought the Camels back to upset Georgetown-were it not for Trey Mourning. Plus, Ja Morant & Charlie Brown deliver prize individual performances and Cincinnati wins the Emerald Coast Classic.
