FCS Roundup Week 5

There’s nowhere else I can lead off the article than with East Tennessee State. The Buccaneers had one of the craziest, scariest travel stories the sport has ever seen, if you haven’t seen it I recommend reading it. The Buccaneers somehow made it to Charleston late the night before the game, kickoff was pushed back…

FCS Roundup Week 4

Welcome! I’ve been watching so much FCS football this year that dedicating a portion of a column to it wasn’t enough, it needs its own section to cover the action better. Conference play is about to begin so the action is heating up! This isn’t structured by conference like the FBS edition but this is…

March Madness Tournament Preview: Midwest Region

1: Purdue Boilermakers Best Tournament Moment: Purdue’s first ever tournament appearance in 1969 was a rousing success. The Boilermakers were the top seed in the Midwest region and beat Marquette in a tight battle to make the final 4. They destroyed North Carolina but were leaking oil by the time they got to the championship…

CBB: SWAC Conference Tournament Preview

Favorites (odds below +500) Southern Jaguars (+290): Southern has periods where they get cold but generally this has been one of the best teams in the conference. The Jaguars picked up some notable non-conference wins beating Mississippi State and UNLV. Consistency is their biggest issues, they could roll through this whole thing or lose immediately.…

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…
