Not many results were all that surprising on Wednesday night, but one in the American Athletic Conference was a big surprise. Plus little separation remains in a couple of conferences, suspensions are handed out, and a powerhouse in one conference takes a big injury hit.
It’s early yet, but on the first full day of Atlantic 10 play, things largely held to form and that also meant a few road wins. Plus the home team comes out on top in a rivalry game, and a stunner in the Pac-12 before a blowout later on.
It doesn’t happen often, but a visiting team won in John Paul Jones Arena, and they now will be interesting to track from an NCAA Tournament perspective. Plus the Diamond Head Classic gets underway and ends with a good one, and the Lobos will be down two starters for the time being.
On a day where football took center stage, a school known for its success on the gridiron saw continued success on the hardwood thanks to a guy who can just coach. Plus the Spartans get a big win in the nation’s capital, a few other results of note, and one big tournament announces its field for next year.
In our latest podcast, we have a lot to talk about from the tournament and showcase action going on, including how they have brought us some much-needed quality games. But one game outside of a tournament grabbed all the attention on Tuesday night.
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.
A number of teams clinched hard-earned conference titles Thursday night, worthy achievements that deserve more notice than they sometimes receive. Also, the OVC race goes to the wire, and oh, the Pac-12…
The big rivalry game will be most remembered for a bizarre occurrence just seconds into the ballgame, and not at all for the final result. Plus another bizarre result is in the SEC, some head-scratchers in another conference, and a past champion wins a game that influences the current race in their league.
A wild night a couple of nights ago was followed up by a relatively ho-hum evening. Plus one team’s misery ends while another begins, mediocrity reigns out west, and a Fighting Camel climbs an all-time list a little further.
This hasn’t been a season to remember for one of college basketball’s most consistent winners over the last few decades. Plus some Wildcats win at home, a tight race in the Midwest, a team out west remains winless in conference play, and suspensions are handed out from a brawl a day earlier.
