The one team that is ineligible for the post-season, Baylor, may have a large impact on who’s playing in April. In a rare show of compassion, the NCAA allowed players from last year’s Baylor team to transfer to any D1 school and play immediately this year. The two best players from that team, point guard […]

After 46 consecutive defeats in games at UCLA, Washington State finally ended the jinx and won at Pauley Pavilion tonight. If Brown could win at Princeton and Clemson could win at UNC we would know that college basketball hell is freezing over. UCLA is now 5-5 in the Pac 10 after a 5-0 start, and […]

Good: NC State is playing its way into a 2 or 3 seed after going 6-2 in the first half of the ACC schedule. They made 19 of 23 free throws in overcoming an 18 point deficit against Wake Forest. The Pack is on pace to break the single season ACC FT% record held by […]

Now that the Super Bowl is behind us, it’s time to get serious about college hoops postseason. A lot of folks are out there projecting brackets, so I am not going to go that route. Instead, here is my analysis of the at-large prospects of various teams, in order of conference strength. Teams with a […]

17 teams in the top 25 played unranked teams today and 8 lost. The top 2 in the polls – Duke and Stanford – were impressive and are separating themselves from the rest of the nation. Stanford had an excuse ready with the loss of starter Justin Davis, but they refused to use it. Sophomore […]

Sorry, but there will be no daily updates this week. The next update will be on Saturday morning, 1/31. In other news, I have posted the “compare tournament resume” function on the RPI page. This feature allows you to compare two teams and get the basic information the committee will rely on to make its […]

Air Force hosts Utah tonight. The football version of this matchup resulted in a 45-43 victory for Utah. This game could end up with a similar score. However if it’s going to be that high scoring, it’s probably going to need 3 overtimes like the football game. Air Force is coming off a game where […]

What a great pair of games tonight both filled with oddities. In falling to Florida State, North Carolina did something they have never done before – blow a 24 point lead and lose. In losing to Richmond, Kansas did something they haven’t done in over a decade – lose a non-conference game to an unranked […]
