Delaware entered the season looking like a team facing an uphill battle after a key injury. But they gave Virginia Tech all they could handle on Saturday, indicative of a team that isn’t about to stop competing.

The importance of point guard Ronald Moore to Siena can’t be understated, no matter how deep they are. A look at their games on Friday and Saturday in Philadelphia is a good case study.

After Friday’s win over Connecticut, Duke has to be looked at as a team that can make a deep run in the month of March. The way they won this game to take home the NIT Season Tip-Off is an indicator of what this team can be.

Arizona State has a different look this season, as the two players who put them back on the basketball map are gone. But there is one thing that is the same on the court, an unlikely floor leader who is helping them continue to win.

Harvard has a young team once again this season. After suffering their first loss of the season on Monday, how they responded the next time out was going to be worth watching, and they responded quite well.

Although they have played just three games, a couple of areas of concern have shown up for Northeastern. As the season is young, it is possible for this to be overstated as well.

We take one last look at some notes from the National Prep Showcase.

The third and final day of the National Prep Showcase was the best one, featuring an overtime game, two games decided by buzzer-beaters, and a successful return to game action for a point guard.

Day two of the National Prep Showcase included the best game of the event thus far, a game that also included the best individual performance. It also had a game that was a little closer than many might have expected.
