Rise & Fall: Low-Major Conference Review
August 4th, 2008
by Shawn Siegel
In recent weeks, the Rise & Fall series has chronicled the progress (or regress) of college basketball's major conference teams. But if I equated each team to a civilization, I was mistaken. It is really the NCAA conference that equates to a burgeoning civilization or nation, each with its sometimes stable and sometimes rotating member states. Like civilizations, the prestige and power of conferences wax and wane..

Turnarounds: 31 Teams to Watch For: Part Three
May 15th, 2008
by Raphielle Johnson
With the off-season now upon us and
the spring signing period well under way, this is a good opportunity to attempt
to forecast some of the teams who could make the jump next season. Is there a
team out there like this past season’s Drake Bulldogs, who went from ninth place
to a dominating run through the Missouri Valley? Or how about Arizona State, a
team that went from dead last in the Pac-10 to fifth place and could have the
makings of a conference title run this season? With one pick for each
conference, here are 31 teams you should keep an eye on next season.
NYC Metro Ranking & Report: Year End Review
April 14th, 2008
by Raphielle Johnson
Well, another season is in the books, and it was a quiet postseason for metropolitan area schools as only Rider played in a postseason tournament. Alas, their season ended in the CBI with a loss at Old Dominion, but that shouldn’t take away from a season that saw them finish one game away from an NCAA Tournament bid. The injury bug, something that the Broncs didn’t have to deal with all season, came up and bit them during the MAAC Tournament, but they got to the final nonetheless.

NYC Metro Review Part 2: Teams 6-11
April 14th, 2008
by Raphielle Johnson
After the top five in the final rankings, there were a few schools that hovered around the .500 mark for most of the season, only to come out on the short end so to speak. But that doesn’t mean that this season was a complete failure for teams such as LIU, Fairfield and Yale. The Blackbirds finished dead even at 15-15, their first non-losing record 1997-98.
Metro Review Part 4: All-Rookie & Bottom Teams
April 14th, 2008
by Raphielle Johnson
Now we come to the bottom of the poll, where there wasn’t much in the way of positives to be found this season. NJIT (0-29) completed a historically bad season, the worst winless campaign in the history of Division I basketball. With head coach Jim Casciano stepping down at season’s end the Highlanders are also in need of a head coach. Whoever steps into that opening will have a lot of work to do in terms of talent along with the confidence level of the returning players.

Opening Round Preview: Coppin St vs Mount St Mary's
March 18th, 2008
by Raphielle Johnson
I’ll go ahead and cave in to the
NCAA’s wishes that people refer to Tuesday’s game between Coppin State and Mount
St. Mary’s as the “Opening Round Game” instead of calling it what it really is:
a play-in game. Do they really think that the losing team will feel like they
actually took part in the NCAA Tournament when they’re at a site with only one
other team present? No but credit the people of Dayton, Ohio for doing a good
job with this game, because things could be a whole lot worse.
