I-95 College Basketball Update by Phillip Conrad 12/1/24

       1. Maryland (3-1) - The Terps took a tough loss on Friday night vs. No. 15 Marquette, but they had dominated the first three games. They were against inferior opponents, but taking care of business is important this time of year. Maryland faces 0-5 Canisius on Tuesday

2. Georgetown (2-1) - The Hoyas lost by 21 to Notre Dame at home on Saturday. It was a rough showing from a very young team. Georgetown took 32 3 pointers and only made 8 of them. Overall, a very rough outing, but there is nowhere to go but up. The Hoyas face 3-1 Mount Saint Mary’s on Wednesday.

3. George Mason (2-3) - The Patriots have had some nice games, but haven’t been able to close, a one-point loss to Central Michigan (a game that they were favored by 15.5 points) and a double OT loss to ECU on Saturday. They’ve had bright spots, but they have to improve if they want to be a threat in the A10. They place 0-6 Coppin State on Thursday.

4. Towson (2-2) - The Tigers two losses both come on the road against Top 75 KenPom teams. They picked up a great win against JMU on Saturday to really get their season rolling. Towson travels to Thibodaux, LA on Wednesday to take on a 2-3 Nicholas team.

5. Howard (2-2) - Another team that played very tough competition in their two losses and another team that picked up a big win on Saturday. The Bison beat Tennessee State in OT on Saturday to get their second win. They’re headed to Miami on Monday to take on FIU.

What Can We Expect from the Nationals this Season? by Noah Kravitz

Washington Nationals Offseason Review:  Have they done enough? NOAH KRAVITZ What many Nats fans were expecting to be an outstanding offseason, has turned out to be a quiet one at that. Players from the likes of Pete Alonso, Anthony Santander, and Christian Walker have all found their free agency destinations as they were all rumored to be potentially signing with the Nats this offseason.  Although some fans have expressed disappointment over this offseason, there is plenty of reason to be excited about the new talent the Nationals front office has added to the roster this winter.  To start, general manager Mike Rizzo addressed the team’s biggest need by dipping into the first baseman trade market by acquiring Nathaniel Lowe from the Texas Rangers. This marks the second time Lowe has been traded in his career. He was previously dealt from the Rays back in 2020 where he slashed .278/.359/.432 in 4 seasons with Texas, as well as 78 home runs among those years. Lowe will pr...

Where Do the Orioles Stack Up in Their Division and the Rest of the League? by Dylan Lewis

       With free agency coming to a close and all 30 MLB teams’ rosters taking shape, fans and analysts can only think about the 2025 opening day of the MLB season. After a historic 2024 season, that saw Shohei Ohtani create the 50/50 club, highly touted pitcher Paul Skenes win NL Rookie of the Year, and a team from Queens comeback from 11 games under .500 to make it 2 games short of going to the World Series, the pressure is on for the expectations of this year’s competition. While many look towards the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, and New York Yankees because of their offseason additions, the underlying teams in the AL East have made a name for themselves this winter too. My question is, where do the Orioles stack up after an underwhelming, and somewhat disappointing offseason? The Orioles are hoping to follow up a 91-win season in a positive way  Mike Elias has made it clear that he values young talent the most and showed that after not going for top...

Orioles Offseason Recap by Josh Solomon

The Orioles' off-seasons in the past few years have had their ups and downs, and this year was no different. Going into the off-season, the Orioles aimed to add right-handed hitting depth and some quality pitching to compensate for (at the time, most likely) losing their ace, Corbin Burnes.  The most notable offseason news was Corbin Burnes, one of the best pitchers in baseball, leaving for Arizona. A few notable players from the Orioles decided to test free agency, including long-time Oriole John Means, veteran catcher James McCann, and Eloy Jiménez, who after a brief stint with the Orioles, signed a contract with the Rays this off-season. Both Means and McCann have yet to sign with a team as of the time this article was written. To my dismay, the Orioles did lose some key players officially this off-season, including bullpen depth pieces such as Jacob Webb to the Rangers and Danny Coulombe to the Twins. Adding to that, switch-hitting power threat Anthony Santander inked a $92.5 m...
