Primarily a collection of news links about all 11 Horizon League teams on a daily basis, culled from online newspapers, school athletic websites, the conference website, and school newspapers, plus some other content from time to time.
Rice (C-USA, 4-1, 142 KP) vs. Oakland (Horizon, 3-2, 149 KP), 5 p.m. Fordham (A 10, 3-2, 242 KP) vs. Delaware (CAA, 3-1, 152 KP), approx. 7:30 p.m.
Consolation
Evansville (MVC, 2-4, 204 KP) vs. Vermont (AE, 3-2, 99 KP), 11 a.m. Akron (MAC, 2-2, 153 KP) vs. Appalachian State (Sun Belt, 2-3, 183 KP) , approx. 1:30 p.m.
Monday’s quarterfinals in Estero set up an unexpected
semifinal doubleheader. Sure, Rice was expected to defeat Evansville,
but Oakland got a boost when Vermont suspended several players for team
rules violations. Still, the Catamounts almost got the win over a Golden Grizzlies squad that’s already won at Oklahoma State. Akron, a one-point loser at Ohio State,
saw its offense go AWOL against Fordham. In the nightcap, Sun Belt
Tournament champ App State dropped a seven-point decision to a Delaware
team that should be a factor in a competitive CAA.
Southern Utah (Big Sky, 1-3, 140 KP) vs. Yale (Ivy, 3-2, 145 KP), 12 p.m. Bowling Green (MAC, 1-3, 173 KP) vs. Milwaukee (Horizon, 1-2, 133 KP), approx. 2:30 p.m.
While the four host teams take today off before
Wednesday’s finals, which will see Seton Hall and Cal play for third
before Florida and Ohio State meet for the championship, the four
visitors take the floor for their semifinals in Fort Myers. However,
neither today’s visitors’ doubleheader nor tomorrow’s will have video
coverage. So, unless you’re a fan or an NBA scout in the arena to watch
Milwaukee’s Patrick Baldwin Jr., you’ll have to listen to one of the
teams’ radio feeds.
-VERMONT VS OAKLAND (Gulf Coast Showcase). These are two really good
UTR teams with an outside shot at landing inside the bubble. Oakland
already has a nice win against Oklahoma State and while Vermont doesn’t
have the big win on their resume yet, they do have what will probably
turn out to be a decent win at Northern Iowa, and their only loss was at
Maryland.
Rice, despite having a high post
maestro in Fiedler, was surprisingly not great in zone offense last
year. Perhaps it was some relatively small sample size variance, but
even if they’re efficient against the Oakland zone, I’m
not sure who can stay with Cain...
