A wild night in the Ivy League makes for an interesting final night of regular season play ahead. Plus conference tournaments move into high gear, a long-time coach is moving on, and developments in the FBI investigation take some attention away from what is happening on the court.
In our latest podcast, we start with new developments related to the FBI investigation, but also ask an important question about the media reports. Then we look at a streak that came to an end, who could win an outright regular season conference title that might be a surprise from a couple of weeks ago, and a big night in the Ivy League among other things.
A brief look at some of Saturday’s stories, including Jim Boeheim returning to the bench, Wofford and Furman meeting in a big one that wrongly wasn’t on TV, and New Mexico State’s quiet roll.
A tense, terrific, every-possession-counts battle saw Cincinnati rally to edge UCF on Thursday. Plus, Chris Clemons & Mike Daum climb the scoring lists, San Francisco with a huge road comeback, Michigan makes it look easy & more.
In our latest podcast, we talk about a bad night in the state of Kentucky earlier in the week, then a big discussion of the NCAA Tournament and the teams on the weakest bubble in a long time. That leads into a prolonged talk about mid-majors this season.
A wild night a couple of nights ago was followed up by a relatively ho-hum evening. Plus one team’s misery ends while another begins, mediocrity reigns out west, and a Fighting Camel climbs an all-time list a little further.
It has not been the best of seasons for the Missouri Valley Conference so far, but a big midseason showdown is coming after Loyola and Illinois State won on Wednesday. Also, St. John’s bounces back in the Big East and a Maine native has a historic performance for his homestate Black Bears.
Kansas played its first true road game of the season Saturday night at Arizona State. It shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the Jayhawks lost. Plus, Saturday’s top individual performances including a unique double-double by Old Dominion’s Aaron Carver and ETSU wins the venerable Sun Bowl Invitational:
Campbell’s 5-foot-9 guard Chris Clemons has become a must-watch player, and nearly brought the Camels back to upset Georgetown-were it not for Trey Mourning. Plus, Ja Morant & Charlie Brown deliver prize individual performances and Cincinnati wins the Emerald Coast Classic.
There are always players who don’t get the credit or acclaim they deserve. Here, we take a look at a baker’s dozen of those players from around the country, players you should keep an eye on this season.
