The History: This is one of the oldest games in the country, and was formerly the “Tangerine Bowl”. Because of it’s location, African American players were not allowed to participate, causing Hillsdale to decline their team’s offer to the game in 1955, and Buffalo choosing to do the same in 1958.  In 1966, Morgan State (a historically black college) won the game and finished their season undefeated.

Ok…..so they weren’t the only ones to lose this week but it’s always fun to say the number one team lost unless it’s the Buckeyes!

There are some other interesting games as well so let’s dive in!

Not surprisingly, the Buckeyes also ran away with the Bruce Hornsby puns – Keith Hornsby is the son of the famous grammy winning artist. That leads us to the musical selection for this recap.

No, seriously. Do yourself a favor and read through the LiveBlog transcript. The puns are gloriously horrible.… [Read More]

Asheville is no stranger to surprising ranked teams on their home floor, so the Buckeyes could be in for a fight. On November 23rd, the Bulldogs nearly caught #16 NC State napping, eventually falling 82-80. Now, it’s important to point out that (now #25) NC State hasn’t lived up to their billing this season. They … [Read More]

Coach Mark Few is one of the only coaches in the country to regularly put together 20 win seasons. Since he first joined Gonzaga in 1999, his first Head Coaching gig, his teams have not won fewer than 23 games in a season. He and Thad Matta are the only coaches with upwards of a decade of straight 20 win seasons, making this game a particularly interesting matchup of coaching minds.

Gonzaga has also never failed to make the NCAA Tournament while under Few, but have never advanced further than the Sweet 16. The last two seasons have seen the ‘Zags only win their first game in the tournament … [Read More]
