Conference Tournament Previews Pt. 2
OHIO VALLEY: The OVC protects its best teams until the semifinals. That means Belmont and Murray St won’t be playing until Friday night. On the other hand, the 5-8 seeds will have to win four games to win the championship. It’s happened before, but I have a hard time seeing that happening with how dominantContinue reading “Conference Tournament Previews Pt. 2”
Tortoise is the Hare
In the Big Ten, the newest team is the fastest team and last week Wisconsin found out just how good it was. The Maryland Terrapins are blazing a trail along the midwest guns blazing. Leading the Terps is their backcourt, specifically their freshman phenom Melo Trimble. He’s been outstanding for Maryland averaging over 16 pointsContinue reading “Tortoise is the Hare”
American’s Team?
In the American Athletic Conference, more ballyhooed basketball programs like UConn, Temple, Memphis and Cincinnati were supposed to keep the league afloat in its second year of existence. However, it’s a program that was left behind that is making the most noise. Tulsa is 7-0 in league play and has continued it’s great run after ending last season withContinue reading “American’s Team?”
Sons of Westwood
The rumors of UCLA’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. Early in the season it looked bleak for UCLA after struggling to beat Georgia and losing to Cal Poly. The Bruins chemistry looked shoddy and they were working to incorporate Shabazz Muhammad into the lineup. Now the Bruins are tied for first in the Pac-12 andContinue reading “Sons of Westwood”
Made of Gold
Marquette was expected to be among the favorites in the Big East, but I’m not sure many people thought the Golden Eagles would be this good. Their currently second in the conference with a 13-3 league record losing just one of their last 13 games. Marquette doesn’t have a lot of size, but have twoContinue reading “Made of Gold”
Weekend Bracket 2/18-2/19
Quick Notes: I can’t remember when BracketBuster games were more important. Saint Mary’s vs. Murray St is probably the marquee matchup as both teams badly need to win. I can say the same about Creighton, but Long Beach St may solidify an at-large berth with a win. CAA can make a big move as aContinue reading “Weekend Bracket 2/18-2/19”
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”
