The Great Alaska Shootout closed out a great run last night. Sadly, it did not get the final round of respects it deserved, but that didn’t stop it from delivering one final thriller for those who enjoyed so many over the years in this long-running event. The 40th and final […]
It’s become almost a yearly occurrence now that Scott Drew’s Baylor squads are underrated heading into a season. The Bears perennially are undersold. They don’t have blueblood status steeped in decades of tradition. They just may not ‘look’ like a top 20 team in a modern game that values guards upon guards and has little use for teams defined by a quirky defense. Maybe it’s just the bad highlighter uniforms. Whatever the reason, it’s an error that needs to be corrected.
Continuing a look at our favorite games for every day of the 2017-18 college basketball season. We started yesterday with November, and today we continue with December:
Last year was the end of a storied run in the Missouri Valley Conference, and the 2016-17 season was too, as Wichita State concluded a 68-year run in the league.
The 2016-17 season continued a run of a bumpy couple of years for the Horizon League, with more than its share of changes and challenges.
There was still doubt even coming into Wednesday night, but you can say it now: Northwestern is going to the NCAA Tournament.
As conference tournaments beckon, we get ready for lots of lobbying for teams’ at-large candidacy to the NCAA Tournament and highlight one team that will be much-talked about. Plus a shocker in Orlando and an important result in the Big Ten lead the way.
As the regular season starts drawing to a close, a few more regular season titles are decided or almost decided. Plus the story in Omaha continues to develop and a Volunteer is likely to miss another game.
Poor Clemson. The Tigers’ repeated close calls in the Atlantic Coast Conference this year have almost become a cruel joke. Even when it looks like they can’t lose, they still do.
Oakland makes the Horizon League race a little more interesting as it winds down. Also, for the second straight Friday, it was a good night to be a road team.
