Is this the year when coach Mike Brey gets his Notre Dame team to the second weekend of the NCAA tournament. Its something that hasn’t happened for Notre Dame in quite some time, but it looks like Brey finally has the squad to do. Notre Dame has always been a great jump-shooting team, but nowContinue reading “When Irish Eyes are Smiling (Welcome Coastal Carolina, Northern Iowa, North Florida)”

Super Nova (Welcome Wichita St, Mercer, Coastal Carolina)
How can a team, with recent Final Four pedigree and only three losses fly under the radar? That’s exactly what’s happened to Villanova. The Wildcats have quietly put together a great season, which has them in position to possibly be a No. 1 seed. Villanova doesn’t have the star power of a Kansas or Duke,Continue reading “Super Nova (Welcome Wichita St, Mercer, Coastal Carolina)”
The Long Wait (Welcome Creighton, Liberty)

Argument Against Expansion (Welcome Northern Iowa)
If there was ever a year where the talk of expansion was horrible, it would be this year. This is the weakest bubble I’ve ever seen and there’s talk about expanding to 96 teams. The NCAA needs to take a step back and look at its priorities. You can’t get an eight-team playoff for football,Continue reading “Argument Against Expansion (Welcome Northern Iowa)”
Mountain Men
There are many teams in the Big East with instant name cache; UConn Georgetown, Syracuse, and Louisville to name a few. West Virginia would be pretty far down that list. However, the Mountaineers have staked their claim as a contender in the best conference in the country. The Mountaineers are at full strength and areContinue reading “Mountain Men”
