For one night at least, it felt like the 1990s or even the early 2000s in Winston-Salem. Plus the Spartans rally to take over second, the Aztecs and Sooners bounce back, and the Titans won’t be in any postseason play this year despite their best efforts.
If the Big Ten is to get 11 or even 12 teams into the NCAA Tournament, a couple of teams need to play their way in, including one who won on Sunday. Plus the Bearcats finally avoid overtime, two conferences get tighter, and a subpoena is served to rekindle the hard feelings between a school and its former coach.
It’s been an interesting first season for Juwan Howard at his alma mater, with a lot happening from the beginning to Sunday’s blowout of Indiana. Plus a former Wolverine head coach appears to not be long for his current job, the Aztecs continue to win, and a Husky goes down early to the chagrin of many, including an opposing player.
In our latest podcast, we start with some developing news off the court, then deal with matters on the court like Duke’s two big wins in three nights, Creighton getting a big win on the road, and much of the Atlantic 10 appearing to revert to the mean since conference play began.
The Spartans got a big win with a dramatic finish, but let’s hope both their opponent and the sport didn’t lose a bright young star. Plus a team remains undefeated overall, another stays undefeated in conference, and a traditional power continues to struggle at home.
One conference had three games on the day that had various levels of surprise to end a weekend that had a lot of it there. Plus another surprise in the Big East, one team got a win they needed while another rallied to avoid a bad loss in the Big Ten, and an in-state rivalry closes out an early day.
Not many people have been talking about Maryland for a while, but after Friday night, that is bound to change, especially if they can keep up what they’re doing. Plus ahead of a big day of rivalry games, Mother Nature intervenes and interferes, a tough ending for a competitor in New Haven, and a few other interesting results on a light night of action.
In our latest podcast, we’re joined by Stadium insider Jeff Goodman and talk about a number of subjects, especially the state of the game. Later, we look at a long losing streak that came to a halt, a team that still has a chance to run the table, and what games to look forward to.
Another long losing streak has come to an end, and against an unlikely opponent as well. Plus a tale of two halves in the ACC, some big shooting in the Big East and one Big Ten game, and a Big 12 team is finally on the board as well.
Tuesday night set up the Big Ten standings that tell you how little separation there is from 1 to 12 in the conference. Plus key games and news off the court in the SEC, a scuffle after an Atlantic 10 game, and a statue will be unveiled for a tragically fallen star player.
