Conference Tournament Previews Pt. 1:

Championship Week(s) started last night as the Atlantic Sun Championship got underway. Today, we’ll preview a few mid-major tournaments that get started early this week. ATLANTIC SUN: Before the season started, Florida Gulf Coast was the heavy favorite to win the league title and while the Eagles did win the regular season crown outright, theyContinue reading “Conference Tournament Previews Pt. 1:”

Mid-Major Update

    Here’s an Update on three teams that have been playing well recently. Saint Mary’s had a disappointing time in the Wooden Legacy tournament earlier this season. The Gaels went 1-2 as they lost games to Washington St and Georgia. They have been on cruise control ever since. They’re 18-2 and 7-0 in league play – alreadyContinue reading “Mid-Major Update”

Westwood Rising

      All year long, Steve Alford has been brewing something in Los Angeles. The embattled coach has had a superb bounce back season for UCLA. That was no more evident then on Saturday night as the Bruins took down the Arizona Wildcats in Tucson. UCLA’s resurgence can be attributed to freshman sensation LonzoContinue reading “Westwood Rising”

Tortoise is the Hare

Austin (SFA) Lumberjacks sport a gaudy 27-2 as they steamroll toward the finishContinue reading “Strongmen of the Southland”

Marquette doesn’t have a lot of size, but have twoContinue reading “Made of Gold”

Steamin’ towards March

Last month, it looked like Ohio St was going to win the Big Ten championship in a landslide. Now the Purdue Boilermakers are making their claim for a piece of that title. Some wrote the Boilermakers off after Robbie Hummel suffered another torn ACL. However, there was still plenty of talent left in the cupboardContinue reading “Steamin’ towards March”

Heroes in a Half Shell

The Maryland Terrapins, who welcome Duke on Wednesday, are one of the hottest teams in the nation. They’ve won five in-a-row and 11 of 13. Everyone knows about the guard ACC fans love to hate, Greivis Vasquez, but the revelation for the Terps has been freshman post player, Jordan Williams. Williams is averaging nine points-per-game,Continue reading “Heroes in a Half Shell”
