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.
We conclude our extensive year-by-year looks at NCAA Tournament and Selection Sunday bubbles over the last 35 years by revisiting recent history, the last five years of tournament selection 2015-19.
In a must-win game that was a big opportunity for the home team, Maryland rallied and then ripped their hearts out of them. Plus the leaders win in the Southern, a key guard comes back in a good win in the SEC, and a long show-cause will be one to keep in mind later on.
In our latest podcast, we’re joined by Stadium insider Jeff Goodman and talk about a number of subjects, especially the state of the game. Later, we look at a long losing streak that came to a halt, a team that still has a chance to run the table, and what games to look forward to.
Can the ACC picture for the NCAA Tournament get any more murky? Plus no surprises in the Big Ten despite one team without key players, rallies in the SEC and a health concern postpones a couple of games.
Not many results were all that surprising on Wednesday night, but one in the American Athletic Conference was a big surprise. Plus little separation remains in a couple of conferences, suspensions are handed out, and a powerhouse in one conference takes a big injury hit.
Only one undefeated team remains as an arch rival knocks off the only one that was in action on Wednesday. Plus a Big East team plays like they were expected to, while the rest of the conference is simply unpredictable, and a buzzer-beater in Columbia.
In our latest podcast, we talk about a couple of road wins that had never happened before, plus an oddity in the ACC, how several conferences including the Atlantic 10 are shaping up after recent action, and a coach getting fired on Monday despite no big off-court issues.
In our latest podcast, we start with a double overtime thriller in the Big Ten, then talk about two long-time powerhouses who could be headed for the unthinkable, a few key results from Wednesday night, and a Big 12 school that hasn’t looked as good of late after a promising start to the season.
In the early going, the standings in one conference look very little like the preseason poll, especially with the lone undefeated team having a nice lead. Plus the Mountaineers win a slugfest, a Blue Devil is out for a while and another ACC player succumbs to a constant source of pain for the season.
