Day 1
NIT Day 1 Recap by Phil Kasiecki The first night of NIT action included some great games, including one that came down to the final seconds. Ball State got a career-high 40 points from Chris Williams and 26 points and 10 rebounds from Theron Smith, but needed most of their […]
NCAA West Region Preview 1
NCAA West Region 1 by Michael Ermitage The tournament committee did Cincinnati no favors by giving the Bearcats a number one seed in the West region. Bob Huggins’ squad will be hard-pressed to reach the Final Four in this loaded bracket. No. 1 Cincy vs. No. 16 Boston University Few […]

NCAA Midwest Region 1
NCAA Midwest Region 1 Preview by Brian Seymour 1. Kansas vs. 16. Holy Cross Despite the obvious 1 vs. 16 mismatch, this game has the potential to be one of the more entertaining first-round games. Holy Cross isn’t as undersized as most people would expect with 6-foot-8 forward Tim Szatko […]
