About half of the teams in Division I have finished their regular season (or will shortly). As Joe Lunardi tweeted on Sunday night the brackets are starting to look like the real thing. Continue reading “NIT Bracket Thoughts: Feb. 25, 2018”

Discussing the NIT: Feb. 19, 2018
Conference season is winding down and my end-of-season NIT projection is starting to look quite similar to some “if the season ended today” NCAA Tournament projections. I released a new bracket this morning and it’s probably time I took a moment to discuss some of the more controversial points. Continue reading “Discussing the NIT: Feb. 19, 2018”
Where Northwestern Is Now
I typically contain my missives about Northwestern into tweets, but after watching last night’s narrow loss to Georgia Tech and reading the discussion online I wanted to share some extended thoughts about the Wildcats. Continue reading “Where Northwestern Is Now”

Strong First Half Carries Rutgers Past Manhattan
Rutgers shot nearly 60% from the field in the first half, building a cushion which would help the Scarlet Knights fend off the Manhattan Jaspers 63-55 Sunday afternoon at Madison Square Garden. Continue reading “Strong First Half Carries Rutgers Past Manhattan”
Three Thoughts: Rutgers 76, St. Francis Brooklyn 73
St. Francis Brooklyn led numerous times at the RAC against Big Ten opponent Rutgers in a back-and-forth show in the second half. The Terriers ended up losing 76-73 in the final seconds though after a missed three point shot by Brent Jones, when St. Francis was only down by two. St. Francis is now 0-3 after close losses to Army and Rutgers and a defeat versus Georgetown. Continue reading “Three Thoughts: Rutgers 76, St. Francis Brooklyn 73”
Northwestern Teaches Brown Some Things

A 1-3-1 defense here, an offense that ran through a three-point shooting center there, Carmody knew he was going to have trouble – due to academic standards and just a general lack of historic success in his program – competing in the Big Ten if he just lined up toe to toe with the Michigan States of the world, so he improvised.
