CBB: Big South Conference Tournament Preview
Favorites (odds below +500) High Point Panthers (+105): High Point is such a fun story. The Panthers played great ball all season long on the way to dominating the conference and winning the regular season championship. The Panthers didn’t even lose a conference game until February!! What’s most impressive is that all 7 losses are…

CBB: OVC Conference Tournament Preview
Favorites (odds below +500) Morehead State Eagles (+115): Morehead State is consistently at the top of this conference each year. This year has been no different. They maintained a clean non-conference performance only losing to Big 10/SEC teams (including a close heartbreaker to Indiana) and mostly dominated through OVC play. The downside is they had…

College Basketball Roundup: Final edition
Summit League: Headline: Is this league wide open, or is South Dakota State back on top? The Jackrabbits had a stranglehold over this conference for some time but it was briefly interrupted every other year by an incredible run by Oral Roberts. Alas with Paul Mills gone, the Eagles have faded back to mid pack…

Patriot League:
Headline: It might not be good for the strength of this league, but the Lafayette Leopards are one of the most interesting stories in basketball. They entered conference play 0-12 against D1 opponents, yes not a single D1 win!! They promptly flipped a switch when conference play began to be 6-0 in conference, that start…

College Basketball Roundup: Part 4
MAC: Headline: Can anyone stop Akron? The Zips are traditionally at the top of the MAC but this year’s team seems special. Akron only has 4 losses, 3 of them by one score (including against a currently ranked Utah State). The Zips are also undefeated in MAC play. They aren’t without challengers, Bowling Green under…

College Basketball Roundup Part 2
Big East Conference: Headline: UConn is one of the championship favorites once again, but who else can emerge from the battle royale that is this conference? UConn might be even scarier this year, last season they actually went on a slide in Big East play but they’ve been above it this season. Marquette and Creighton…
