Your Home For College Hoops

One of the last games of the night was all we could hope for and more, and also leaves one hopeful about future matchups between the two teams. Plus more tournaments get going, a straw breaks the camel’s back with transfer waivers, and a Wildcat is gone from the program.
With the Final Four all set, we look at how we got to this point and much more with our special guests on the program.
Some quick end-of-January notes from around the country looking at N.C. State, the battle atop the Big West, Tom Izzo’s transition game, Lipscomb, UAB, Saint Mary’s and our favorite name of the season.
It wasn’t even Big Monday yet but Kansas and Kansas State were busy and received challenges-maybe unexpected ones to some. Also, Buffalo wins on the road again and enters the already highly debated national rankings.
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.
Friday was not a good day for the sport, and it had nothing to do with the limited on-court action. Plus one mid-major team remains undefeated in their conference, three teams are bunched up in another, and a coach is staying in an old home area for a little longer.
In our latest podcast, we look back on the first round games in the NCAA Tournament, starting with a couple of terrific performances on Friday night.
With little drama at the end or big surprises, the NCAA Tournament is down to 32 teams. A couple of teams were terrific on Friday night, while one higher seed was not a good one to have this year, and the Cavaliers might be down a man in the next round.
Upsets dotted the landscape on Friday, and there were some dramatic finishes as well, especially late in the day. Plus coaching changes continue with two that had years left on their deals, one coach will stay put, and another arrest in Illinois.
A Big Ten powerhouse closed out a great month of November, plus a big start for a Big East team, a bright spot in a forgettable weekend, and more growing pains for a consistent program.
