William & Mary Fights Back Again to Advance
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Columns
7 Mar 2010William & Mary struggled out of the gates and didn’t play a good first half against James Madison, but some veterans had the idea that the second half wouldn’t be more of the same even though the first few minutes suggested otherwise.

VCU Gets Two Things They Need in Win
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Columns
6 Mar 2010Two things that weren’t always a given this season happened for VCU in Saturday’s 75-60 win over George Mason. Considering the up and down season they have had and the slugfest that much of the game was, they couldn’t have come at a much better time.

Old Dominion’s Depth, Rebounding Are Keys
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Columns
6 Mar 2010Old Dominion’s 86-56 romp over Towson to start Saturday’s quarterfinal action at the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament was an example of thorough domination. But in this game, one thing stood out glaringly, enough so that one had to wonder how Towson even made the two regular season meetings respectable. You didn’t need to look at the stat sheet to know, but a quick look confirms it: the Monarchs did it inside.

Horizon League Quarterfinals – Detroit Frustrates Green Bay, Milwaukee Takes Down Cleveland State
By: Bill Kintner in: Conference Notes
6 Mar 2010For Detroit it was part big man in the middle and part penetrating guards and part taking Green Bay’s leading scorer out of his game. All of this added up to a 62-53 win for the Titans in the Horizon League Championship quarter-final game. The nightcap was similar to the first game only this time it was Milwaukee scoring the first basketball and going wire-to-wire to win 82-75 over Cleveland State.

Virginia’s Season Not Ending How It Began
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Columns
4 Mar 2010Virginia’s first season under Tony Bennett is just ending about the opposite of how it began. The Cavaliers at one point won eight in a row and stood 12-4 early in ACC play, and were the last team in the ACC to suffer their first conference loss. But as they head into their regular season finale, they have an eight-game losing streak and don’t look to be getting better.

Jeremy Lin Goes Out a Winner, Like He Wanted
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Columns
4 Mar 2010All Jeremy Lin ever wanted was to win. He wanted his team to be a winner and get the attention it deserved. On Saturday night, the senior guard certainly got that as he walked off the court at Lavietes Pavilion for the last time, as he helped lead his team to their 20th win of the season, a record for the program.

America East Post Season Awards
By: Sam Perkins in: Conference Notes
3 Mar 2010The America East regular season wrapped up on Sunday; the seedings are set, the teams are ready, and Binghamton managed to once again cause another “international incident” (the Bearcats withdrew from the America East tournament).
