The Student Section Supports: Arizona @ Oregon

Friday, March 7th, 2008

I’m heading west this weekend for the penultimate version of “The Student Section Supports”, where Arizona is in a situation where they probably need to win in order to completely kill off Oregon’s hopes, while saving their own at-large rear in the process.

The Student Section Supports: Kentucky @ Tennessee

Friday, February 29th, 2008

More pub to Tennessee because they are under the hot light of being No. 1. Will they completely flame out against Kentucky? UK did defeat the Vols in Rupp on Jan. 22 , 72-66. Will Tennessee completely bottom out a week after their huge win over then-undefeated Memphis? (more…)

The Student Section Supports: Drake @ Butler

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

C’mon now. It had to be this one. The battle of the Bulldogs. This is the only time I, arguably, go mainstream with this feature all year, so why not make it with the headliner with Bracket Busters going down this weekend. Will both of these teams make The Tournament? Butler’s a lock, but Drake isn’t. Still, I think if The Drake does defeat Butler on the road, then you can consider them a lock as well. The nitty gritty on how each team can win is a click away. (more…)

The Student Section Supports: Ohio @ Kent State

Friday, February 15th, 2008

For those new to the site, this “The Student Section Supports” segment takes a look at one specific matchup that has the potential to either be an upset or an extremely tight game between two evenly matched teams. Generally speaking, this segment will steer clear of the top, marquee matchups due to the fact that there will be plenty of press about those games anyway. Bracket Busters is still a week away (and next weeks SSS will also feature two mids) but I’m warming you up with another mid-major matchup for this week: I make my first endeavor into the MAC this season with a preview of two bubble teams that no one is talking about.

The Student Section Supports: Purdue @ Wisconsin

Friday, February 8th, 2008

For those new to the site, this “The Student Section Supports” segment takes a look at one specific matchup that has the potential to either be a surprising upset or an extremely tight game between two evenly matched teams. Generally speaking, this segment will steer clear of the top, marquee matchups due to the fact that there will be plenty of press about those games anyway. This week I’m picking a game that will a first for SSS: A rematch. Purdue beat Wisconsin in Lafayette two weeks ago, now the Badgers (who apparently have one of the best campuses in the nation) get their chance to avenge. Even better: Both teams are tied with a 9-1 record atop the Big Ten. (more…)

The Student Section Supports: New Mexico @ UNLV

For those new to the site, this “The Student Section Supports” segment takes a look at one specific matchup that has the potential to either be a surprising upset or an extremely tight game between two evenly matched teams. Generally speaking, this segment will steer clear of the top, marquee matchups due to the fact that there will be plenty of press about those games anyway. The Mountain West has a great one on the slate for late Saturday night, when New Mexico—losers of three of their last five—go to Vegas to take on the Runnin’ Rebs, who have won four in a row. According to ESPN, it’s Student Spirit Week, so I’ll type this with some extra fervor! (more…)

The Student Section Supports: Oklahoma @ Baylor

For those new to the site, this “The Student Section Supports” segment takes a look at one specific matchup that has the potential to either be a surprising upset or an extremely tight game between two evenly matched teams. Generally speaking, this segment will steer clear of the top, marquee matchups due to the fact that there will be plenty of press about those games anyway. Here’s what I love about this week’s pick: No one is going to be talking about this game, and they fucking should be. The Big XII could have anywhere from three to seven teams in The Tournament this year and this game has some significance. The Baylor Bears cannot possibly upstage what they did in five overtimes against Texas A&M on Wednesday, but they’ve got a worthy opponent in Oklahoma coming into their place on Saturday. More Big XII love on the other side. (more…)

The Student Section Supports: Illinois State @ Drake

For those new to the site, this “The Student Section Supports” segment takes a look at one specific matchup that has the potential to either be a surprising upset or an extremely tight game between two evenly matched teams. Generally speaking, this segment will steer clear of the top, marquee matchups due to the fact that there will be plenty of press about those games anyway. There’s about 15 games on television on Saturday, but this isn’t one of them. The Redbirds and the Bulldogs are the only undefeated teams in conference, so the winner really (temporarily) puts themselves in the driver’s seat in terms of an at-large war. What you need to know about both of these teams and what this game means for the Missouri Valley is behind the curtain. (more…)

For those new to the site, this is our sixth week of “The Student Section Supports”, where CHJ takes a look at one specific matchup that has the potential to either be a surprising upset or an extremely tight game between two evenly matched teams. Generally speaking, this segment will steer clear of the top, marquee matchups due to the fact that there will be plenty of press about those games anyway. For this weekend, I’ll delve into my second West Virginia game of the season, as they host a Syracuse team that is trying to come into its own without its starting backcourt. (more…)

For those new to the site, this is our fifth week of “The Student Section Supports”, where CHJ takes a look at one specific matchup that has the potential to either be a surprising upset or an extremely tight game between two evenly matched teams. Generally speaking, this segment will steer clear of the top, marquee matchups due to the fact that there will be plenty of press about those games anyway. So this week CHJ is breaking down a critical game between a hobbled Pitt team and a formerly hot/recently beaten Villanova squad. (more…)
