If good things come in threes, college basketball delivered good things in the form of three big overtime games on Thursday night. Plus an early showdown is ahead in one conference, a few other interesting results on the night, and a Husky must sit because of academics.
In our latest podcast, we talk about a rivalry game in the Big Ten, a wide-open ACC aside from one powerhouse, one conference that appears to be doing official reviews better, as well as two undefeated teams left and a couple of shockers in the past week.
On a busy day full of conference games and a handful of non-conference ones, two undefeated teams went on the road and found a way to keep winning. Plus a couple of injury concerns in the Big Ten and a Big 12 coach was not happy with officials in a road loss.
There were a few games of interest on Friday night, especially one that opened a new arena and for a while looked like history might repeat itself before a dramatic ending. Plus early conference games, a rivalry renewed in Rhode Island goes to the home team, and the Spartans take another hit on the perimeter.
A big win for a program that has been quietly solid for a while is the latest sign that this could be a year where they break through for the postseason. Plus a comeback win down south, the Irish take a personnel hit, and there is at least some good news with a future three-game series.
In our latest podcast, we look at a big game in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge as it continues on, then look back at a couple of big tournaments and who won them. Also, we look at some big news out of Georgetown that isn’t so good, and look ahead to conference games coming up.
The Big Ten/ACC Challenge had a couple of its headline games on tap, and both were convincing wins for the ACC school though the series is all tied up. That, and a few other notes from Tuesday night.
Oklahoma State continued what has been a pretty good week for the Big 12 in winning tournaments, though they are being chased. Plus a great week for a first-year coach, the Blue Demons remain undefeated, and a late game was as good as advertised.
Michigan got the first big win under its new head coach, and now has a chance for another one right behind it. Plus the Orlando Invitational gets going, lots of drama in a tournament out west, and a cool story coming out of the big upset in Durham a couple of nights earlier.
Two Big 12 programs got big wins on Wednesday and hope each is a sign of better things to come. Plus more tournament action includes a few other championship games, a Tiger will be out as long as first thought, and wrist injuries sideline a couple of key veterans.
