Bubble teams should be rooting against Alabama, Maryland, and Florida State… (One question mark means you’re in, but shaky. Two question marks means you’re out, but can get in with a strong finish.) ACC (7 teams in) – Duke, North Carolina St., Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, North Carolina, Florida St., Maryland. Right now Maryland is […]

ESPN gave us much better Bracket Buster matchups this year, due to the wise decision to include more teams in the event. The best game was played in Kalamazoo, Michigan of all places. The Broncs’ ‘Zoo is where Western Michigan center Anthony Kann drained a 13 footer as the horn sounded to send the game […]

George Washington beats Dayton tonight and further muddies the bubble situation from the Atlantic 10. Richmond, GW, and Xavier are all fighting for bids. It’s possible two of them will get in. It’s possible none of them will get in. But it’s most likely that one and only one will get a bid. Whomever finishes […]

There’s a growing sentiment across the country that St. Joe’s non-conference schedule does not deserve the lofty ranking it is getting from the RPI (or just about any other objective system out there). But consider this, of the Hawks 11 non-conference opponents, all of them have winning records entering Tuesday’s play. They’re the only team […]

A little bit of a shakeup this week, mainly due to the failures of 3 Big 10 teams… (One question mark means you’re in, but shaky. Two question marks means you’re out, but can get in with a strong finish.) ACC (7 teams in) – Duke, North Carolina St., Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, North Carolina, […]

This is the golden age of the internet. Someday, you’ll have to pay for everything, and that trend has already started with MLB, the NFL, and most colleges requiring a fee to listen to broadcasts. However the University of Hawaii broadcasts all of its home basketball games over the internet with streaming video for free. […]

So much for the theory that the absence of Kenneth Lowe was holding Purdue back. They fell to Northwestern at home 40-39 in Lowe’s return. It was a game that Purdue just couldn’t lose. Sure, they have had some bad luck this year – they’re 2-5 in games that went to overtime or were decided […]

Texas Tech professor Alan Reifman points out that there are eerie similarites between Texas Tech’s results in Big 12 competition this year as compared to two years ago. In fact every conference game so far has had the same result with fairly close score differential, right down to the overtime loss in Lubbock vs. Texas. […]

Here’s my hastily thrown together tournament analysis for this week. I’ve changed the notation from last week – one ? means you’re on the bubble but in, and two ?’s means you’re on the bubble but out. ACC (7 teams in) – Duke, Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, North Carolina St., North Carolina, Maryland, Florida St. […]
