Like USC men’s basketball at pivotal point before postseasonFebruary 26, 2021 at 2:37 PM USC men’s basketball is the midst of its worst stretch of the season.
Granted, the 19th-ranked Trojans have set the bar high with a 19-5 record and 13-4 mark in the Pac-12. But Thursday’s 18-point loss to Colorado marked the first time all season USC has lost two of three games.
This is not to say it’s time to panic about USC; that would be an overreaction, especially given the most recent defeats came at the hands of two of the Pac-12’s best teams. But the Trojans have reached a crossroads at t...Tags: Utah, Colorado, Sports, Sport, Soccer, College sports, Las Vegas, UConn, Usc, Ucla, Bruins, Jon, Trojans, Enfield, Big East, Utes 39 people like this.

Updating from last week, various people on the NCAA Tournament Committee have further clarified/walked back the idea of using the Pairwise this year to specify that they meant they’ll use it within each conference to determine the rankings of that conference. Which is terrific, but not entirely helpful since, with an exception or two, that’s already pretty easy to do. The real difficulty in this process is going to be de...Tags: Sport, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Ncaa, Omaha, Michigan, Hockey, Ohio State, UConn, Providence, Bobcats, Boston University, UMD, Bulldogs, Falcons, Quinnipiac 120 people like this. Like For students of color, online racism leads to real-world mental health challengesFebruary 23, 2021 at 12:00 AM For college students of color who encounter online racism, the effect of racialized aggressions and assaults reaches far beyond any single social media feed and can lead to real and significant mental health impacts - even more significant than in-person experiences of racial discrimination, according to a recently published study from researchers at UConn and Boston College.Tags: Science, UConn 42 people like this.

Like UConn researcher offers lessons learned from a pre-pandemic study of telemedicine useFebruary 22, 2021 at 12:00 AM With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine has become a new norm for many routine and non-emergency medical needs. But there are lessons to be learned from telemedicine's use - or lack thereof - prior to the pandemic, and a new study from a UConn School of Social Work researcher offers insight for policymakers, administrators, and public health officials when considering the implementation of new services.Tags: Science, UConn, UConn School of Social Work 8 people like this. Like USC men’s basketball has no more room for error in conference title questFebruary 21, 2021 at 1:56 PM In one Saturday, all of USC’s room for error disappeared.
With the 17th-ranked Trojans’ 81-72 loss to Arizona and UCLA’s 80-79 win over Arizona State, USC lost its solo grip on first place in the Pac-12. Instead, the Trojans and Bruins are tied at 12-3.
So USC has five games left to play, including a finale against UCLA, with no margin left for missteps if the Trojans (18-4 overall) are going to win their first regular-season conference title since 1985.

It moved!
Insight into NCAA for selecting the men’s hockey tournament. Basically, the PairWise will be used but there will be a lot of flexibility and subjectivity used. There will be ability to move teams up and down based on strength of schedule. Story on @USCHO shortly.— Jimmy Connelly (@jimmyconnelly) February 16, 2021
