Big Ten Notebook

Big Ten Notebook by Chris Burke Chances are that there will be few games this year as talked about as Indiana’s clash with Kentucky on Saturday. Hoosiers’ coach Mike Davis lost control, charging the court and a referee with three seconds left and his team down one to the Wildcats […]

Colonial Notebook

Colonial Notebook by Beth Iskoe Falling and they can’t get up Drexel’s 88-72 loss to Niagara Saturday night extended its losing streak to three games. The Dragons (3-4) have not won since December 3rd when they defeated Lafayette 65-47. Hofstra’s disappointing season continued to get worse Saturday night when they […]

Conference-USA Notebook

Conference USA Notebook by Zach Van Hart Well, it was a blowout As expected, the Oregon versus Cincinnati game featured several minutes of mop up time as the clock ticked away. Unexpectedly, it was due to the Bearcats blowing the Ducks out of the water. Playing outstanding on both sides […]

Mid-Continent Conference Notebook

Mid-Continent Conference Notebook by Matt Amis When it comes right down to it, there are few, if any, more dominating conferences in the nation than Mid-Con. OK, maybe not. But it sure seemed that way Saturday. Chalk it up to holiday spirit or weak opponents, but either way the Mid-Con […]
