Your Home For College Hoops
Thursday, May 9, 2024
As early season tournaments get going with a few finishing up, one champion shows us what college basketball is these days as they show some resilience. Plus a few more tournament results, and another showcase features a triple overtime game that flew under many radars.
One of the last games of the night was all we could hope for and more, and also leaves one hopeful about future matchups between the two teams. Plus more tournaments get going, a straw breaks the camel’s back with transfer waivers, and a Wildcat is gone from the program.
With a little more of a sample size, we can now say that one conference is showing some signs of a real resurgence in the early going. Plus we can further over-analyze one team that much has been expected from, another win for one team is another good sign, and a few other noteworthy results from the day.
The Big East appears to have met its match in the early going in the Gavitt Tipoff Games, narrowly avoiding a sweep on the evening. Plus a good win in Richmond, another stinker in Tampa, and a good road win for a Big 12 team.
It’s early yet, but if you were expecting a big change from the longer three-point shot, you are surely disappointed by the early results that include a few of Thursday night’s games. Plus a Husky is suspended and a long-time coach sounds off about opening night for his team and conference.
In our latest podcast, we talk about a big name receiving a Notice of Allegations and what it could mean, as well as another school that received a punishment from the NCAA. Also, we talk about a decision by the NCAA that might sound good at first, but will not be good for the implicated schools, as well as a coach who had a health scare but is now in better shape.
In our latest podcast, off-court news takes precedence, from more allegations of possible payments to players to coaches’ lawsuits and late coaching changes.
In our latest podcast, we spent most of our time looking at UConn officially heading back to the Big East in most sports, and all of its ramifications – how it affects football, men’s basketball, the Big East and the American Athletic Conference. We also look at news of two big transfers in college basketball.
UConn is set to return to the Big East, and with the identity crisis the Huskies have had since 2013 when the conference split, it’s a move that makes sense and might be just what the basketball program needs.
In our latest podcast, we talk about a bizarre game in the Big East semifinals, as well as the ACC Tournament and its potential implications for the top seeds in the NCAA Tournament. We close with a note on the Atlantic 10 Tournament and look ahead to what is coming after the NCAA Tournament Selection Show.
