Now that we’ve gotten over the initial discussions of who is in, who is out, and who should have been in or out, we move on to look at the matchups (and possible matchups) that this tournament has to offer in the early rounds.
It might seem far-fetched that a team in competition for a No. 1 seed until the final weekend has now been whispered about to be the victim of a possible upset in their first game of the NCAA tournament.
Watching Northwestern coach Bill Carmody sit at Sunday night’s press conference after it was announced that his team would not be in the 2012 NCAA tournament, it’s difficult not to notice the frustration.
It’s not the biggest game in the state of New York this weekend, considering the Big East title game in Manhattan coming up on Saturday night, but the end result is the same: someone is going to the NCAA tournament.
NEW YORK--Louisville would have had to pull an upset on Thursday night if they wanted people to talk about something other than their new electric-orange uniforms.
NEW YORK--It didn’t go to six overtimes like we’ve seen before at Madison Square Garden, but Cincinnati’s double-overtime win over No. 13 Georgetown on Thursday afternoon reaffirmed one thing: March is in full swing.
NEW YORK--Late in the first half of Seton Hall’s matchup with Louisville in the second round of the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden, a voice rang out from the back of the Seton Hall student section.
NEW YORK-- As Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun sat at the podium with players Ryan Boatright and Jeremy Lamb, following his team’s 81-67 win over DePaul in the first round of the Big East Tournament, questioning began about Calhoun’s recent health concerns.
Kansas is already a No. 1 seed in our latest NBC NCAA Tournament projections so, following the Jayhawks’ 73-63 win over Texas on Saturday night, the logical question arises: Is No. 3 Kansas in line to cut down the nets in New Orleans?
Kentucky has been driven by their stellar underclassmen this season, but Senior Night in Lexington reminded us of one thing: Darius Miller is going to be just as important for the Wildcats as they pursue a national title.
