Your Home For College Hoops

The college basketball season is a journey in every way, and few demonstrated that better this year than Old Dominion. The Monarchs’ 2014-15 campaign was truly a long and eventful one, full of ups and downs, successes and disappointments. It may not have always lived up to expectations on the outside, but there were plenty of reasons for that. Still, it would be hard to argue that ODU didn’t make the best of it.
The championship game for the 79th annual National Invitation Tournament is set, and it’s a worthy one with two very good teams. How good? Put it this way: if Oklahoma and Syracuse end up playing in the NCAA Tournament final on Monday, their combined win total will be less than that of the two playing in the NIT title game.
It’s not a surprise that Oklahoma had an off day shooting on Saturday, or even that it came against one of the bottom teams in the Big 12 in Kansas State. The surprise is that it has taken so long for the Sooners to have a loss due to cold shooting outside.
