Boston College 82, McNeese State 64: Eagles Advance One Step Closer To MSG
The Eagles played a near perfect first half -- opening up a 41-19 halftime lead -- before throwing on cruise control in the second half and defeating the McNeese State Cowboys 82-64 in the first round of the NIT. The Cowboys had no answer for Reggie Jackson, who was a perfect 6-6 from the floor in...
Saturday Bubble Watch For Boston College's NCAA Tournament Hopes
Not a very good night for bubble teams. Virginia Tech held on to beat Florida State, which means its ticket is pretty much punched to the Dance. Clemson is in too, after trouncing us. Michigan State is in after pounding a ranked Purdue team. I'm pretty sure the Eagles are NIT bound, but maybe we...
Friday Bubble Watch For Boston College's NCAA Tournament Hopes
Another big day of college basketball as we rapidly approach Selection Sunday. Here's your handy rooting guide for Friday's college basketball action. 100% Baldwin approved. Dayton vs. Xavier (Atlantic 10 Tournament Quarterfinals, Noon, CBSC S): Xavier is the top seed in the Atlantic 10...
BIG 12 TOURNAMENT OUTLOOK: 03.10.11 (Open Game Thread)
Well, yesterday's game thread seemed to be a smashing success in the sense that it let me entertain myself with the twisted rambling of all you heathens when I was bored during tournament timeouts, so let's do it again. Rather than double up, let's just use this as the open game thread for K-State,...
Thursday Bubble Watch For Boston College's NCAA Tournament Hopes
BC got a bunch of favorable results yesterday from the Big 12 Tournament First Round. Nebraska bubble has all but burst entirely with the Huskers' 53-52 loss to Oklahoma State. That said, the Eagles need to worry about the Cowboys stringing a few more wins together at this point, as OSU could creep...
ACC Men's Basketball Tournament Picture Comes Into Focus
Clemson over Virginia Tech wasn't exactly the result we were hoping for. The Tigers win gives Clemson the four seed in next week's ACC Tournament and knocks Virginia Tech down the ACC standings and seriously damages the Hokies' NCAA Tournament hopes. Oh well. BC's ACC Tournament scenarios are down...
Saturday Bubble Watch For Boston College's NCAA Tournament Hopes
Huge weekend in college hoops. Just like last weekend, BC still largely controls its own NCAA Tournament destiny. Beat Wake Forest on Sunday and Thursday and play well in the ACC Quarterfinals and BC is probably in. That said, it never hurts to get some other help from teams on the bubble. While we...
RPI WATCH: 3/5/2011
Friday gave us a mixed bag in conference tournament action. North Florida continued an improbable run to the A-Sun championship (although from the looks of things right now on ESPN2, that's probably about where their road will end) by knocking off its second top-three seed in two days. Good for the...
What's in a Holiday Tournament?
K-State announced Saturday that it's switching its participation from the 2011 Cancun Governor's Cup to the 2011 Diamond Head Classic in Hawai'i. That opportunity arose after Mark Turgeon pulled his team out of next year's tournament, citing its close proximity to what likely will be an earlier...
Dear MLS and ESPN, there are more than 3 teams in Major League Soccer
So today the schedule for Major League Soccer came out, as did the schedule of matches being covered by ESPN (you can see the list after the jump) So in 2010 New York, Seattle, and the LA Galaxy accounted for 19 of the matches broadcast by ESPN2. Of course this strategy saw MLS ratings drop 12%...
