HoriZone Roundtable

Bob is flying solo this week, in which Cleveland State wrapped up the Horizon League regular season title, while the remaining seeds from 2 through 6 remain up for grabs. He lays out the scenarios in which each of those teams can clinch a first-round bye, and well as talks about Oakland's odd collapse at the hands of Wright State and Northern Kentucky, not to mention the Raiders and Norse's inability to beat Detroit Mercy. He also talks about IUPUI getting its first conference win of the season as the Jaguars still play with only six healthy players on the roster.

The Horizon League is heading towards the end of the regular season, and it's still anyone's race. Bob and Matt talk about the ramifications of some key upsets, as well as UIC's dismissal then return to the conference post-season.

The top of the Horizon League standings has shifted once again, and Bob and John talk about the ramifications of Oakland's bad weekend. They also talk about the shaky return of Pat Baldwin, Jr. for Milwaukee, IUPUI and Green Bay's ever-dwindling rotations, and the set-up for the remaining games of the regular season.

Bob and John talk about this week's Horizon League slate, including Northern Kentucky's recent surge that includes wins against Wright State and Cleveland State. They also talk about Oakland's return to the top of the standings, another notable player departure in Donovan Ivory from Green Bay, and Milwaukee's woes without Pat Baldwin, Jr., which may soon come to an end.

With UIC heading the the Missouri Valley Conference, Bob and John discuss the potential impacts of the remaining Horizon League schools. They also talk with Matt Brown (@MattBrownEP), writer of the Extra Points Newsletter, about additional effects of the UIC's departure, as well as some potential replacements.

Halfway through the conference schedule (sort of), Bob and Matt break down the week's actions, including Milwaukee's upset of Oakland, Cleveland State's free throw woes, and IUPUI's incredibly shrinking roster. They also discuss Wright State's resurgence, Youngstown State's decline, and Purdue Fort Wayne's move into the top for of the HL.

Oakland prevailed after two tough match-ups with Cleveland State and Purdue Fort Wayne, and Bob and Matt discuss how the Golden Grizzlies stayed on top of the Horizon League. They also talk about, among other things, Wright State's rotation (which temporarily shrunk considerably this week), Robert Morris' first conference win, and IUPUI's continued woes, as well as when Pat Baldwin, Jr. may return to the lineup for Milwaukee. 

Bob and Matt, after a long week of Horizon League competition, discuss what went down, including the wins Oakland and Cleveland State put up leading to their match-up. Also, they talk about Antoine Davis becoming the all-time leading scorer at Detroit Mercy, the ongoing injury issues of Pat Baldwin, Jr., and the recent departure of yet another Robert Morris player.

This a recording of the annual live New Year's Day episode, in which Bob was joined by Kyle Rossi (@KyleHZRT), Blake Schumaker (@bschumakerRT) and Alec Kwait (@alec_kwait) to discuss the Horizon League's return to conference place. Among other topics were the ongoing COVID policy set by the league, the absence of Pat Baldwin, Jr., and the emerging battle in the women's basketball standings.

With the non-conference schedule wrapping up, Bob and Matt wade through what to make of the Horizon League at this point. First, they delve into whether or not IUPUI is careening towards a level of futility not seen since the 2003-04 Cleveland State squad lost its final 21 games. Then, before the HL slate gets into full swing, they make their predictions who the top four teams in the league will be.
