Just this morning, Arkansas and John Calipari announced a deal which would finalize the Blue Blood legend as the new head coach. With this finalized, how the field of College Basketball will change is decided by three variables: how Kentucky will change, how the SEC will change, and How John Calipari will coach.

     The past two weekends of the March Madness tournament have been electrifying to say the least. With major upsets and closely contested games it seems like we have seen it all. However, four more teams will still be battling for a chance at a national championship. Two one seeds remain, UConn and Purdue, along with 4 seed Alabama and a shocking 11 seeded NC state. Will we finally get to see the long-awaited matchup between the Huskies and the Boilermakers or could either of the underdogs make it all the way. 

     At the start of the ACC tournament, the NC State Wolfpack were in need of a championship if they wanted to dance in March. It seemed impossible, there was supposedly no path for them to win. Well, after wins against Louisville, Syracuse, and Duke, they found themselves in the semifinals, 2 games away from a surefire March Madness bid. 

       Although tame in comparison to years past, the early rounds of this season's March Madness has had its fair share of surprises, with top seeds falling and lower seeds prevailing. On Thursday, the Sweet 16 begins - here are some teams to look out for, both good and bad. 

      With the NCAA tournament kicking off, one tournament which fades into the shadows is the NIT, a tournament of the collection of teams who were unlucky to miss March Madness. 

         Recently. the College Basketball world has been active with March Madness Predictions and Bracket Breakdowns. However, due to the recent chaotic bubble that happened this year, rumors of a potential expansion with the field of 68 have been in the spotlight. Teams such as Indiana State and St. John's were deserving of spots in the field. The Big East had 2 teams on the First Four Out list of the committee, which has also driven the motivation for an expansion or realignment of the bracket.

     The South Region of the bracket is home to 1 seeded Houston - a team that was the no doubt #1 overall seed until the end of champ week. Because of their loss in the Big 12 final, they will have to fight through a much tougher bracket if they want to make it to the final 4. Teams in their way include CBB powerhouses Kentucky and Duke, as well as 2 seeded Marquette. 

    The West is likely to be one of the most hotly contested regions in March Madness this year. Home to UNC, the team widely considered to be the worst #1 seed in this year's tournament, and Arizona, considered the best (if not second best) #2 seed. Addittionally, there are several teams in the top and bottom of the bracket that can challenge UNC and Arizona, and make their own path to the Final 4. 

      College sports seem to mainly revolve around football, basketball, and baseball. Yet one of the most underrated sports on TV and playable at the college level is definitely wrestling. Although not many schools support it and not many kids actually try to go DI for it, the sport is highly competitive.

      Something we have yet to cover here at INSZN Sports is college hockey, which is one of the more interesting and appealing college programs out there. Today, I am going to give you a quick glance at how Division I hockey works and how the upcoming tournament will unfold.

       As the March Madness Tournament ticks closer, the state of many teams lies on how the conference tournament ends up. Here are our picks for the big five conferences.

   The story of the once mighty ACC is an interesting one. After years of domination among conferences in college basketball, they have only 4 or 5 teams in contention for March Madness, with just 2 or 3 of those being surefire bids. In this article, we will breakdown the levels of teams in this conference, starting from March Madness locks all the way down to (spoiler alert!) Notre Dame and Louisville.
