We look back at a busy Saturday with a number of big matchups, many of which lived up to their billing and also had an impact on the top of the standings in conferences, plus a big accomplishment for one player.

The Morning Dish – Saturday, February 7, 2015
Friday night wasn’t quite the snoozer this time around, with a few close ones on tap. One conference has a lot of teams tied for first place. That, plus changes to the NIT, a couple of Longhorns banged up and a Buckeye suspended at least a little longer.

As more players develop, Bucknell becomes a clear contender
With help from a few more supporters, Bucknell is really clicking on offense now and emerging as a clear contender in the Patriot League. Winning on the road doesn’t hurt, either.
