So what’s new in the past couple of days? Well to start, we have lots of automatic bids that have gone out. Teams like Western Kentucky and Detroit surprised conference favorites to grab a ticket to the Big Dance. With 15 more automatic bids left to go, there will be […]
Bill sits down with Miami (Ohio) assistant Todd Lickliter, who reflects on his head coaching stints at Butler and Iowa as well as working for Charlie Coles as an assistant after all that time.
Ron Hunter is a terrific addition to the Colonial Athletic Association coaching ranks. That could have been said before the season given his track record and the impression he made on Media Day in October, but after the CAA Tournament it bears repeating because it was so obvious.
Old Dominion’s Kent Bazemore is someone young basketball players could stand to learn from. It’s been enjoyable to watch him go from a player who needed to redshirt as a freshman to one of the CAA’s best players.

VCU won’t have any questions about whether or not they belong in the NCAA Tournament this season. Capturing the Colonial Athletic Association championship with a 59-56 win over Drexel leaves no doubt, and it’s also an indication of how the team has grown over the course of the season.
If you don’t usually do so, please watch the NIT this year. I realize the March to Madness is all about the NCAA Tournament, and college basketball analysts talk ad nauseam about the NCAA Tournament worthiness of Team A-Z. But I can promise you that some of the best teams […]
