In our latest podcast, we talk about the latest development in a tough stretch for a legend-turned-coach, the many questions that still remain about the near future of college athletics, a surprising firing and some player transactions of note. We also close by looking back on earlier times in recruiting in light of the recent retirement of a legendary talent evaluator.
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.
The first two NCAA Tournament bids went out after dramatic finishes in championship games to set the stage. Plus a long day of tournaments ends with a thrilling back-and-forth between two star guards, a surprise champion in the ACC and a three-way tie atop the Big East.
In our latest podcast, we talk about a close call in the Mountain West Tournament and most of the power conferences being largely undecided heading into the final days before conference tournaments are the only game in town.
As conference tournaments get into full swing, the Mountain West takes center stage with its share of drama, including a shocker to end the day. Plus the Huskies get a big win to affect the top of their conference race, the Pac-12 is down to two for its regular season crown, and the Eagles soar above their competitors to control their own destiny in the Big Sky.
On a wild Saturday, one of the last games of the night had a big result and a rather surprising team on top in their conference. Plus one conference has to wait before their bracket is known, and an SEC school retires the jersey of a big star from 30 years ago.
Wisconsin is playing well at a good time, and the Badgers kept that up by winning on the road against another team playing well of late. Plus a couple of regular season titles are still to be decided, while a first-year Division I team claims at least a share of a conference title and overtime is needed in a key Conference USA game.
The Pac-12 has much to be settled, but two relative surprises among the top three after Thursday night. Plus a big rally shakes up the top in one mid-major, the Hawkeyes take care of business at home, and a coach gets a show-cause penalty.
After a bad year and a subsequent drawn-out coaching search, who would have imagined UCLA would even remotely contend in the Pac-12? Plus a former Bruin chooses an interesting home on a busy day of action.
It seems like so long ago that Memphis was thought to be a top 10 team and perhaps even a national title contender. Plus things are getting more interesting out west, a big win in the Big Ten for a team that has been up and down, and the challenges continue in Austin.
