A triple-overtime game between Quinnipiac and Siena in the MAAC between two of many teams battling for the top had a pair of individual offensive eruptions on Sunday. Also, Missouri State’s remarkable in-season improvement, St. John’s with a stunning rally and Michigan State dominates second half against Ohio State.
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.
In our latest podcast, we touch on a couple of news stories related to the FBI investigation and what they may portend, then talk about a few conference races of interest. Ted also gives out his midseason awards before we wrap up and look ahead to the weekend.
It has not been the best of seasons for the Missouri Valley Conference so far, but a big midseason showdown is coming after Loyola and Illinois State won on Wednesday. Also, St. John’s bounces back in the Big East and a Maine native has a historic performance for his homestate Black Bears.
Kansas State appears to be back, and so is the Big 12 we’ve come to know over recent years. Plus, double ejections in Tulsa/Connecticut, South Carolina pulls out another in the SEC, Houston keeps rolling, VCU back on the rise and more.
So much for any talk about one team possibly going undefeated, and given that their conference is better than some think despite its downward trend, there are teams capable of beating them anyway. Plus no surprises in one big conference, while it was a good day to be a road team in another, and a mild surprise in an academic league opener.
In our latest podcast, we focus on a coach out west being fired and the aftermath of it, then look at some interesting games that include a conference that has been a bit under the radar thus far.
If any St. John’s fans were concerned about this team being a tease once again, the Red Storm did something to help quell those fears, for now at least. Plus one conference splits the difference in wins on the evening, while another that has struggled almost saw another team drop one.
In our latest podcast, we have a lot on the Big Ten since they had some early conference games, then some caution with Kansas, St. John’s with a big start, and wonder what happened to Texas since they ran off to a great start against Michigan State.
For the second straight night, a mid-major pulls off their second win of the young season over a Power 5 school. Also, another big game from a Golden Eagle who’s done it before, a tough loss that could have been a win for the Cardinal, and more early Big Ten games get played.
