Your Home For College Hoops

The Southeastern Conference is almost certainly on the precipice of a banner year for NCAA Tournament berths. Just which of those teams will receive them, though, and what might happen with them when they get there, will continue to be a mystery of the wildest proportions.
This Saturday didn’t disappoint with what we have come to expect. Here are notes from many of the day’s key games that took place.
The Friars bounce back in a big way in going from a bad loss to a high-quality win. Plus a notable losing streak continues, big road wins in the ACC and Mountain West, and one school’s dominance in an academic is continuing as expected.
The Big 12 is ready to give us the great finish we have come to expect from it thus far this season, with history or an unlikely champion appearing to be the result. Plus home teams rule one conference, a road losing streak ends elsewhere, and some news in a big off-court story.
Notes, thoughts, numbers and more gibberish about the college basketball landscape post-Super Bowl and with Selection Sunday now just over a month away…
The Musketeers continue to win while being overshadowed by other stories. Plus a big season sweep in the SEC, a little of everything in the Big Ten, and a big health concern that goes beyond basketball in Virginia.
In our latest podcast, we talk about a lot of what has happened in the ACC and SEC, including the Big 12/SEC Challenge, whether or not Kentucky is turning a corner, as well as the story at Michigan State.
We wonder if Kentucky is turning a corner, and that’s not a trivial question for a couple of reasons. Plus a freshman to the rescue again, a surprise leader goes two games up, and a tough day in Chapel Hill.
The Big 12 and SEC once again provided a nice jolt to the late January college hoops schedule with their annual challenge event, but this year’s was notable for and different from other previous ones for several reasons.
A nearly full night of SEC action told us a lot about the conference all the way around. Plus one ACC team keeps rolling, a Big East team continues to slide, and an interesting home and road split out west.
