You may have forgotten about one of the modern day blueblood programs, and for somewhat understandable reason, but they reminded us that they are still around on Sunday.

On a day where a football team in the same area grabbed everyone’s attention, an ACC team got their first conference win in fine fashion. Plus a healthy win this time around in the Big East, the Hawkeyes seemingly couldn’t miss, and one team continues to dominate of late in a Pac-12 series.
The Mid-American Conference has shown very well so far this season and had a deserved television showcase Friday night. A chance to show off the league’s depth instead saw Ball State and Buffalo deliver authoritative, impressive performances, both on the road.

How does one put this politely? When it comes to exciting nights this college basketball season…one will find better just about every single day of this season than last night. A schedule of 11 games was exceeded in lightness by only how little there was noteworthy about the games. With […]
Three early tournament winners may get an important boost for more than just their profile. Plus a couple of thrillers in consolation brackets, the Trojans survive a big test, and a couple of more teams remain undefeated early on.
