Old School Meets New School
The two Summit League semifinals were both decided by a single point on Monday night, and that could set Tuesday night's duel between the North Dakota State Bison and the South Dakota State Jackrabbits up to be a classic....
If the St. Mary's Gaels don't end up making the NCAA Tournament, they can point at losses to teams like the Pepperdine Waves for that. The Waves are back on the docket once again in the semifinals of the WCC Tournament, and they'll have a legitimate shot to knock out the Gaels and perhaps make the WCC a one-bid league to the dance....
The Gonzaga Bulldogs are currently on the outside looking in at the NCAA Tournament according to Joe Lunardi with the Zags needing a win against the BYU Cougars in the West Coast Conference semifinals on Monday to at least have a shot at qualifying....
Mid-major teams have been all the rave this year, as teams like the Monmouth Hawks have built unlikely resumes which could get them into the NCAA Tournament without their conference automatic bids. Part of what makes Monmouth's case so strong this year is because the MAAC has been top heavy. A loss to the Iona Gaels wouldn't be damaging to anyone's resume....
It's been a relatively down year in the SoCon this year, but that doesn't mean its representative to the NCAA Tournament is going to be any less dangerous. The Chattanooga Mocs have been the favorites all year long to claim the Southern's lone bid to the dance, but they're going to have a tough time taking out the East Tennessee State Buccaneers in the league finale on Monday....
The Northern Iowa Panthers aren't going to apologize to the rest of the teams sitting firmly on the bubble for the NCAA Tournament. On Saturday, they were responsible for stealing a bid to the dance, as Wichita State won't end up with the Missouri Valley automatic slot after losing to the Panthers. Now, UNI is going to try to get a bid of its own to March Madness on Sunday in the MVC Final against the Evansville Purple Aces.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
The UNC Asheville Bulldogs ended up getting a fairly easy route to the Big South Tournament Final. Sure, they had to get past top-seeded High Point, but the Panthers were playing without their best player. A bid will be punched to the dance come Sunday afternoon at the Pope Convocation Center, and it will either be UNC Asheville or the Winthrop Eagles strapping on their dancing shoes.You can bet on college basketball odds at BookMaker.eu every day of the season....
If the Austin Peay Governors end up making the NCAA Tournament, they'll certainly have earned their spot even though they went just 14-17 in the regular season. They're playing their fourth game in four days at the OVC Tournament in Nashville, and they're stuck playing against the Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks, the hottest team in the Ohio Valley, and a team which has played just once thus far in the tourney....
This will be the last game of the season for the No. 24 SMU Mustangs after the overbearing NCAA levied a postseason suspension for academic malfeasance. Larry Brown and the Mustangs will look to make it count when they head on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bearcats, currently a No. 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament according to bracketologist Joe Lunardi....
In his first season coach Avery Johnson has pulled Arkansas out of the long shadow of the school’s football team, making basketball relevant for the first time ever. Even losses in three of the Tide’s last four games can’t diminish what the former NBA great has done....
There is plenty on the line when Arizona hosts Stanford in the final regular season game for both sides. The Wildcats can wrap up a first-round bye in the Pac-12 tournament while the Cardinal could be playing to keep the job of their head coach. And it doesn’t look good for Johnny Dawkins....
The Arizona Wildcats have fallen upon some tough times in recent weeks, and as a result, they are out of the discussion for the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Pac-12 Tournament. Still, they won't want to fall flat once again in the regular season finale against the Stanford Cardinal, or there will be a chance they could drop out of the top four seeds next week as well....
We haven't even completed the college basketball regular season yet, and already we're on the verge of seeing a truly maddening upset. The Stetson Hatters have never been to March Madness, and after a 10-21 regular season, no one figured they stood a chance to change that this year. They've still got a huge hurdle to overcome against the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles, but just the fact that they're one win away from the dance is remarkable and why we all love this time of year....
It's a sin that we haven't had a chance to see the Maryland Terrapins play against the Indiana Hoosiers yet this season. We've been made to wait for it, but arguably the two best teams in the Big Ten will have their day to end the college basketball regular season against one another on Sunday afternoon in Bloomington....
The SEC is very likely the worst of the major conferences in the nation this year. The true testament to that? The LSU Tigers can still win a share of the regular season conference crown with a win on Sunday over the Kentucky Wildcats, though that victory won't necessarily put them on the right side of the bubble heading into next week's conference tournament....
No. 25 Cal is surging towards the top of the Pac 12 and the Bears travel to Tempe Saturday looking to beat up on Arizona State. The Sun Devils season has unraveled with four-straight losses to drop them to 4-12 and 14-15 overall with a postseason bid now in jeopardy....
Only the Cyclones stand in the Jayhawks’ way of ending the regular season on an eleven game winning streak. Of course, it was Iowa State that handed Kansas its last loss back on January 25, 85-72....
Both the Indiana Hoosiers and Maryland Terrapins are hanging out on the No. 3 or No. 4 lines in the NCAA Tournament at the moment, but we still think that both have a case to make it all the way up to the last No. 1 seed if they run the table from here. They have to go through each other on Sunday in what could turn out to be a heck of a prequel to what could be an awesome Big Ten Tournament next week....
Not only are the Spartans hot on the court with nine wins in their last 10 games, they’ve also been money at the betting window, covering the spread in each of those games. Sparty posted a 19-point win over Ohio State two weeks as a 7-point favorite and has covered twice when laying better than 20 points....
Louisville’s No. 6 ranked defense played well against the Cavaliers back in January. holding them to just 63-points, but Louisville was unable to score to turn it into a win. After a 63-47 loss, the Cards will get another chance as they close out the season on Saturday, but things don’t get any easier as Virginia hosts the showdown at the John Paul Jones Arena....
A team that entered Wednesday leading the nation in offensive efficiency has been anything but for the better part of two weeks. Notre Dame has lost three of four and hasn’t had a lead in each of its last two games, producing just 108 points in the two losses....
Villanova is guaranteed the top spot for the Big East tournament thanks to Tuesday’s win over hapless DePaul. Despite that secure position, the No. 3 Wildcats still have plenty at stake in their regular season finale. A slip up against Georgetown could impact their chances for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament....
Last time these two teams faced each other, the Commodores got the win and started the Aggies’ four game losing streak. Texas A&M has since rebounded with five straight wins. They’ll try and avoid another tailspin heading into the SEC Tournament....
A Big 12 battle in Waco, TX highlights the final Saturday of the regular season when Baylor hosts West Virginia. The Bears play with 80-69 redemption for a February 6 loss in Morgantown....
Traditionally, the last game of the regular season for the North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils comes against each other. That's the case once again this year, and it might end up being one of the trickiest games to handicap on the crowded Saturday slate....
