In our latest podcast, we start by talking about a streak staying alive, then some teams not playing well down the stretch and the fate of mid-majors relative to the NCAA Tournament. We wonder: can any mid-major give someone a hard time in the NCAA Tournament?
An eventful night in the Ivy League included a game that took a good deal of extra time to decide. Plus a slump in the Atlantic 10, an even tighter race in the MAAC, and a Husky out for much of the remainder of the season.
Villanova still hasn’t lost a Big East game and looks more like the Villanova we have come to know of late. Plus a light night of action saw two road wins in the same conference, more NCAA issues, and an arrest in the Ivy League.
In our latest podcast, we look back at a big game in the ACC, one that could have implications beyond the game itself. Then we look at an ACC team that has picked up a couple of big wins in its rebuilding process, a fun SEC, a bizarre incident on Wednesday night and further Division I expansion that is coming up.
On a night full of blowouts, one conference opener provided plenty of excitement right at the end to get things rolling. Plus a tragic death cancels a game, weather moves a couple of others, and the latest in the saga of a fired national championship coach.
Yes, that is correct: Buffalo won at Syracuse, and it was not an upset. Plus a newly revived rivalry has some gasoline thrown on it, more in the saga of a fired Husky alum and coach, and a Wildcat will be out for a lot of conference play.
UConn came to New York with high hopes in the 2K Empire Classic. It started out well with a big win, but they went back to earth as Iowa beat them convincingly. Now they have to learn from how they lost to the Hawkeyes.
As the early season tournaments get going, impressions are made, especially the one made by Iowa in New York. Plus a number of other tournaments get going or have later action, and wildfires in California continue to impact games.
In our final podcast previewing the 2018-19 season, we look at new teams in Division I, the way-too-early start to the season, great matchups on opening night, as well as a couple of conferences with interesting storylines to follow this season.
Just three days from the start of the season, we look at a few more conferences, plus an injury that won’t help UCLA’s depth and the first game for a new coach at one school.
