Monday’s Kansas-West Virginia game is, like many other single games in a season with thousands of them, receding into memory. If Iowa State can surge in the next few weeks, the Mountaineers’ upset of the Jayhawks might affect the final Big 12 standings and become more memorable in the course of time. Yet, for fans […]

Prior to the start of Big Ten play, nobody in their right mind thought that the words “NCAA tournament team” and “Purdue” would even be near the same sentence, let alone in it. However, with just a week and a half left in February, the Boilermakers find themselves in second place in the Big Ten […]

It didn’t look like any of St. John’s players wanted to challenge Isaac Copeland on this dunk once he found a lane and made his intentions known. The Hoyas won the game 79-57 and improved to 17-8 on the year and 9-5 in the Big East. They are projected as a 7th seed in the […]

A lot has been written about who’s on the bubble, and a lot more will be written as we approach the NCAA tournament. One of the things that gets lost in the hurricane of RPI, SOS, good wins, and bad losses is the surprise that we are talking about some schools as being tournament teams […]

This was a huge win last night for the #23 ranked West Virginia Mountaineers as they overcame the #8 team in the country with a coast-to-coast buzzer beater…. What a move: Juwan Staten's

This past Sunday stood exactly one month from Selection Sunday. While some teams feel strongly about their candidacies for the NCAA tournament, others do not have the same sentiment and have some work to do. Here is a list of games in the heart of the week that could have some strong bubble implications. TONIGHT […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Assuming Spring actually gets here for the majority of the country (30-degree temperatures in Alabama, snow in North Carolina, DOOM in the upper Midwest) and isn’t just some sort of cruel myth, college football practice will come with it. I motion at this point for it to be called “Extended […]

Wooden Award candidate Jahlil Okafor and the Duke Blue Devils look to protect their home court at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, North Carolina on Wednesday night against the North Carolina Tar Heels for college basketball’s fiercest rivalry.

The Seton Hall Pirates are imploding. 15-6 after defeating Xavier, the team has dropped 5 in a row to fall to 15-11. Jaren Sina left the team. There have been talks of the team nearly coming to blows in timeouts and word of a divided locker room. Things seemed to come to a frustrating head […]

The lowest-ranked power conference according to KenPom is currently the Pac-12, with an average rating of .7591. Even so, however, the league has two absolute tournament locks in Arizona and Utah, and the next worst league, the SEC, will get Arkansas and potentially one other team in addition to Kentucky. However, will a power conference […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect There’s a line in Jurassic Park spoken by Jeff Goldblum’s character, Dr. Ian Malcolm, that goes, “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” The same could apply to college football recruiting. Monday, Rivals rolled out to the public […]

It’s one of the many fascinating things we love about sports: Great events, perhaps forgotten due to the relentless march of time, regain their prominence in the eyes of younger generations due to twists in the 24-7 news cycle. This is how college basketball — like any other sport — continues to be the focus […]

We’re in the middle of the month of February, but we’re beginning what is essentially “Bubble Month” in college basketball. We’re just under four weeks from Selection Sunday. In these coming weeks, the bubble will expand and contract and, ultimately, get whittled down to a few teams by March 15 at 6 p.m. Eastern time, […]

We’re four weeks from Selection Sunday, March 15. Saturday’s results in college basketball set up a number of big bubble games this next week, although the next Saturday on the slate, Feb. 21, is noticeably devoid of big contests. Here are just some of the details worth taking from a plot twist-laden Saturday: * 5 […]
