Don’t look now, but Monday night might have some evidence that the Blue Demons are about to be relevant again. Plus a big win out west and a transfer will have to sit the year, which isn’t sitting well with a person close to him.

A quick look at key results and/or top stories from the night before, as well as a look ahead to key games during the season, to lead a reader into the new day
The Morning Dish – Monday, November 11, 2019
The result of a big in-state rivalry is ripe for over-reacting on either side, and we look at how one might do that as well as how we should read the result. Plus another good win by a conference trying to bounce back, a Spartan gamely battles after tragedy, and a very rough start down south.
The Morning Dish – Sunday, November 10, 2019
At long last, Texas gets the kind of win they had yet to pick up under Shaka Smart, and not a moment too soon. Plus a Pirate star is out for a bit, a bounceback attempt continues, and some extra sessions were needed on the day.
The Morning Dish – Saturday, November 9, 2019
Just a few days into the season, we already have a big eligibility story, and one that will only get bigger. Plus a few close calls in good matchups, a pair of big scoring games in New England, and a record blowout.
The Morning Dish – Friday, November 8, 2019
It’s early yet, but if you were expecting a big change from the longer three-point shot, you are surely disappointed by the early results that include a few of Thursday night’s games. Plus a Husky is suspended and a long-time coach sounds off about opening night for his team and conference.
The Morning Dish – Thursday, November 7, 2019
The ACC openers are in the books, with the defending champs looking just fine and a freshman breaking a record. Plus one conference has started out well, and there’s also some coaching news.
The Morning Dish – Wednesday, November 6, 2019
Opening night was as good as advertised, led by the big doubleheader in New York where the nightcap belonged to one freshman in particular. Plus a few road wins lead some close ones, a couple of mild surprises, and some major league blowouts with non-Division I schools.
The Morning Dish – Tuesday, November 5, 2019
The season is finally here, and with it is our podcast looking ahead to the season and talking about one final off-court matter, for now at least. Plus a bad break in Florida, a suspension continues, and great news out of Texas.
The Morning Dish – Monday, November 4, 2019
Another season is almost here, so it’s time to reflect once more as we finish up our look ahead to the conferences this season.
The Morning Dish – Sunday, November 3, 2019
Saturday was a reminder of one day that reflects the challenge college basketball has in starting earlier every year. Football drives the train in college sports, and on this day it is evident for the first month or so of the season. We also look at a few more conferences before the season.
