Women’s Basketball Games of the Weekend 2/25 – 2/26

With most of the league races already decided and focus turning to the NCAA basketball tournament, the six games on the weekend agenda are mostly games that decide mid-major and high-major conferences. The Ohio State-Nebraska game may have some title implications, but it appears this weekend is devoid of a solid matchup. Of course, last week St. Johns did ...

As of Wednesday night, Murray State was one of the last three unbeaten teams in the nation in NCAA Division I basketball. And while some will say the Racers are the biggest surprise among the teams still owning perfect records, I can’t say that I am surprised.

The Racers have a tradition of success in the Ohio Valley Conference, and more ...

An Early Look at the 2012 Football Top 10

On the night of the 2011 BCS National Championship game, the College Sports Madness staff gathered around to argue about 2012. It is never too early to start looking ahead to next season even if we do not yet know who is staying and who is going. But we do know who should have good enough teams to overcome some unexpected losses and look towards a chance to be playing one year for now for the national crown.

Friday’s schedule is a ...
