I took off on a journey December 28th to find Cinderella before She was at the Ball. Over 100 games later, the Final Four is now upon us. It’s been the most fun ride of my life, and I can’t wait to tell and show mid major college basketball’s story going forward! Hope you enjoy!

Not much in the world like win or go home college basketball. Would’ve never thought 2 years ago LIU (362/362) would be playing a home NEC tourney game in the Shark Tank. They earned another with the Chicago St. win tonight!. Chicago St. @ LIU - NEC Quarterfinals

Maybe I shouldn’t have showed up on Monday, I seemed to have cursed my teams for a stretch. Colgate lost their 4th straight with Lehigh red hot from deep. Is this finally someone else’s Patriot this season, or will Gate respond?. Colgate @ Lehigh - Game 43 finding Cinderella

This was consecutive possessions in Rose Thrill! . We’ve got a tight one late in the Bronx for the Battle of who is the best Ram in the A10

Siena is probably a year away, but what I saw on Sunday showed the Saints have potential to make some noise in the MAAC a year early. A program that went 4-28 a year ago, but Gerry McNamara is looking to turn it around!. Quinnipiac @ Siena - Game 42 finding Cinderella

Both these teams were pretty apathetic to the defensive end, but UMass Lowell committed enough on that side to get the much needed road win. Can the Riverhawks build off this and threaten in the A East like they were thought to?. UMass Lowell @ UMBC - Game 40 finding Cinderella

Nothing like last second dramatics in college basketball, and we got that last night near Baltimore. Pat Skerry has lost everyone of significance from his ‘22 1 seeded CAA team, yet somehow he’s got his Tigers 9-1 atop the conference. Drexel @ Towson - Game 41 finding Cinderella

Mitch Henderson seemed to send a message to his veterans late in yesterday’s poor performance against Yale. They’ll have to respond and regroup by March, because these Bulldogs are clicking & dominating the Ivy. Yale @ Princeton - Game 39 finding Cinderella

Got back out to West Point to support Colgate on Wednesday, but they sadly dropped back to back in the Patriot for the first time in 7 years. Army looking like a legit threat in the league halfway through conference play!. Colgate at Army - Game 37 finding Cinderella

Xaivian Lee and Caden Pierce have sat since the 2nd to last TV timeout when Princeton trailed by 20. Reserves have gotten hot to cut it to 8. The duo combine to average 30, have just 7 points on 14 shots tonight

It was special in the Shark Tank for Rock the Reef Night with the Shark dedication, but CCSU had revenge & the NEC’s 1 seed on their minds. LIU has lost 3 straight but we’ll always keep our fins up & look to build for March. Central Connecticut St @ LIU-Game 38 finding Cinderella

Just goes to show how a little bit of effort can go a long way. Won’t forget LIU parents thanking @Cameron2020NY & David for the awesome environment even after an OT loss last year. Come to the Shark Tank on Thursday, join “The Reef,” & let’s get a W!. Great article Joe!.

It just means more. Not quite the football rivalry but was still really neat to get to an Army - Navy game!. Navy @ Army - Game 36 finding Cinderella
