I haven’t had much to say about the Ivy League’s ultimately doomed dalliance with the idea of having a conference tournament because on one hand I really like the purity of the round-robin format. On the other hand, I really enjoy postseason basketball. Elimination games are what makes the NCAA tournament so special and why [...]
Waller-Prince heads to Baylor
Taurean Waller-Prince was supposed to be a player that carried the LIU Blackbirds to the next level. The 6’7″ forward from Texas was named the Express News All-Area Player of the Year for the 2011-12 season as he blew up during his senior campaign. When Jim Ferry headed to Duquesne it was Waller-Prince that people [...]
NEC sets record high in attendance
Attendance results are out for the 2012 NCAA Men’s Basketball season. The results aren’t too surprising, but there is good news for the NEC. The conference set a record high in attendance during the 2012 season attracting 1,353 fans per game, an increase of 116 fans per game over last season. Of course the NEC [...]
Where does the Ivy League go from here?
The Ivy League announced today a two-year extension to its contract with NBC Sports Network (formerly known as Versus, etc.). Even though it is an extension, this deal is big news, because it includes the opportunity for NBC Sports Network to televise men’s basketball and lacrosse games as well. This isn’t just football anymore. The [...]

Butler officially joining the A-10
Well, one part of the realignment madness will come to its inevitable and logical conclusion on Wednesday when Butler, as Andy Katz is reporting, officially decides to join the Atlantic 10. Of course the conference already has 14 members and that’s where it will stay (at least thus far) as Butler is coming in for [...]
Scott Machado wins Haggerty Award
The All-Met Awards are being given out tonight by the Met Basketball Writers Association. Scott Machado is deservedly going to get the Haggerty Award for the top player in the New York Metro Area. Machado was #1 when I did the Top NYC Players at the end of the season, so I think he definitely [...]
Introducing the “Bracket of Champions”
Since there are no real basketball games going on right now, let’s do something fun and talk about simulated basketball games. The Bracket of Champions brings together some of the best teams from the New York area during the Ken Pomeroy era (2003+) and puts them in a bracket against each other.
Recruiting page full of information
In case you missed it, I wanted to point you towards the new Recruiting page here on the site. It has the most up-to-date information that I’m aware of on the status of the incoming classes for each of the New York area schools that Big Apple Buckets covers. I’m also trying to collect links [...]

Ryan Peters, who had been writing over at Pioneer Pride, is bringing his great knowledge about Sacred Heart and the NEC in general to the site. We’re still working out [...]
