The Long Wait (Welcome Creighton, Liberty)

It’s going to be a long agonizing week for the Middle Tennessee St Blue Raiders after their upset loss at the hands of Florida International in the Sun Belt Conference semi-finals (more on this later).  They were dominant in the regular season winning all but one conference games, but March is cruel as the BlueContinue reading “The Long Wait (Welcome Creighton, Liberty)”

Conference Tournament Predictions Continued

METRO ATLANTIC ATHLETIC: Iona has been on my radar since I watch it go blow-for-blow with Purdue in November.  This team can flatout score.  This is one of the most dangerous mid-majors in the country as it has three pros on the roster.  That being said, the Gaels don’t really care to much to playContinue reading “Conference Tournament Predictions Continued”

Nothing really to say here, but to expect part three with Bucknell winning again.Continue reading “More Conference Tournament Previews”

The Other Commonwealth

While Kentucky gets pub for being a hotbed of college hoops; it’s neighbor to the east isn’t doing too shabby itself. The commonwealth of Virginia is having a great this season with mid-majors and Virginia Tech. In the Colonial Athletic Association, Virginia Commonwealth, Old Dominion and George Mason all harbor at-large hopes after performing wellContinue reading “The Other Commonwealth”
