ATN podcast: Showdowns, Pool B and more

Posted on by

It’s the time of year where playoff implications abound. Where conference races begin to make sense. Where it’s no time for a letdown, but occasionally it’s time for a wake-up call.

The wake-up call? That was for Centre, which got shut out by Millsaps. No letdown? That’s Wittenberg and Mississippi College. Playoff implications, all over the place, for sure.

Also, we haven’t talked about Pool B very much this year, and Keith McMillan and I explain why in this week’s Around the Nation podcast.

Game Day: A channel surfing day

Posted on by

This is a great day for me to stay at home and channel surf. Finally have our house set up a little bit and if necessary, I can fire up two computers and a desktop side by side by side and really take up all of the available bandwidth.

So I get an extra hour to unpack boxes and such before Capital-Otterbein, since that’s at 2 p.m. ET. Then there’s also live video of Wheaton-North Central, which is a service I haven’t seen before, so hopefully it works. At 4:30, Willamette-Linfield.

And it’s not like there aren’t plenty of other intriguing games. Follow us on Twitter, too, as we update you on games from across the country all day.
