First Four Preview

After a long drought, it's finally back. That's right, I'm back blogging here at Three Point Range. Oh, and also the NCAA Tournament has returned. Jokes aside, it's sure been a while since I've been writing. But watching Champ Week and seeing the bracket really energized me, and I'm in the mood to write, so here I am. I can't promise it'll be frequent, but I'm definitely going to have previews of every region up before action tips off on Friday, and maybe I'll keep going after that, we'll have to see. Enough about the future, we're here to focus on the present, and that's the NCAA Tournament. So here's my previews for each of the games we'll see on Thursday. As always, follow me on Twitter, @ThreePointRange, for my thoughts throughout the action, and updates on when I'm posting new articles. Let's have ourselves a tournament everybody. 16. Texas Southern vs 16. Mount St. Mary's Line:  PICK EM, o/u 133 Preview:  Kic...

Weekend Wrap-Up 1/6: Weekend Review, Updated Top 25, and more

After a great weekend of college hoops, I have some thoughts on a few teams and some games I watched over the past few days. Additionally, I have my newest Top 25 and a preview of some of the week's best games. Let me know if you enjoy this new format or not on Twitter @ThreePointRange, where you can also get some instant reactions from me on games and news. Additionally, I'm always happy to talk about my rankings and if you want to make a case for your favorite team being higher, than I'm always happy to hear it. I love feedback from everyone who reads so let me know what you think, and thanks for reading as always. What I Saw - I don't think I was more wrong about a team this year than Penn State. I picked the Nittany Lions to finish twelfth in the Big Ten and put them in the "NIT Hopefuls" tier. That obviously looks quite stupid now. They sit at 12-2, with their only losses coming to Ole Miss by 2 in a game where they had a crazy collapse, and Ohio State...

Weekly Wrap-Up 1/3: Conference Champions

It's 2020, and with the new year, that means that conference play is kicking off across the country, if it hasn't started already. With that, I wanted to give a quick preview of every conference title race and my prediction for who wins the regular season portion of each conference. Please note, this isn't who will gain the auto bid through the conference tournament, as a lot of that depends on who is hot at the right time and some single game variance. Normally on Fridays, I'll talk about some things I saw while watching basketball this week and some previews of upcoming games, but I was busy this week and I decided to write this instead. I talked about the changes that are coming to the blog on Twitter @ThreePointRange, so be sure to follow me there for some instant reactions as well as my thoughts on some breaking college basketball news. Without further ado, let's get into the conference previews. America East:  This one seems pretty cut and dry. Vermont has b...
