Your Home For College Hoops

On a light night of action, a Big East battle that tipped a little later was everything we could have hoped for, and a big win for a team that had lost three in a row. Plus there’s no doubt who’s on top in one league, two teams have a reversal of fortune in the Big Ten, and a Wildcat is moving on.
In a game that served as a real opportunity for the home team, Butler went on the road and took care of business in impressive fashion. Plus the Big Ten gets more interesting, an Ivy League rivalry has a similar result, and a few other results of note from a light night of action.
Conference play is about to begin in earnest all around the country. How does every conference in Division I shape up after non-conference play has (mostly) completed? We take a look here.
Harvard is already a deep team without two Ivy League Player of the Year candidates in action due to injury. If they get healthy, they will only be deeper, but starting a game off well is perhaps a more important path to big winning for this team.
Another season of college basketball beckons, and as usual, quite a bit has changed since last season. Three big sources of change have seemingly been on the rise over time, but perhaps we are now getting used to this.
The field of 68 is set at last, after much discussion about the bubble, and there is much to think about from top seeds on to who didn’t make it. Plus a few last championship games, some injury updates, and other postseason tournaments announce their fields as well.
The Pac-12 champions were expected to have a chance at that before the season, though not quite in the fashion they did it. Plus championship games rule the day, a few more semifinals set the stage, and one more coaching change.
Few have been talking about the ACC regular season co-champions despite the incredible season they have had. Plus one team is now officially in the field, upsets rule a couple of conference tournaments, and one team backs into an outright regular season title.
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.
