The Streak is officially over, the end of an incredible run. Plus big results in the Big Ten, a great road team in the ACC, and conference tournament play continues to get underway.

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 – Tuesday, March 5, 2019
March as we know it is officially here-conference tournaments have begun. The Atlantic Sun tipped the first D-I tourney, with top seeds Lipscomb and Liberty clearing one hurdle each on the way to a potential anticipated third meeting. Also, Kansas State and Texas Tech move closer to Big 12 title.

The Pac-12 dodges two bullets on Sunday as their rough season continues, though it could have been worse. Plus a Big East team gets a big win to try to get a conversation about their candidacy going again, another big game from a freshman helps the Wolverines on the road, and clarity in the MAAC on the final day, for now at least.
The Morning Dish – Sunday, March 3, 2019
UCF and Utah State both look poised to end NCAA Tournament droughts that may feel much longer than they actually are. Plus, Saturday’s top individual performances, including a near triple-double for an Elon senior and a big game by an Air Force junior.
The Morning Dish – Saturday, March 2, 2019
With a little still left to decide, the MAAC will end up with six teams very close to each other. Plus a little salvation for an Atlantic 10 team, little changes on Friday in an academic league, and a big Buckeye is suspended as a big game beckons.
The Morning Dish – Friday, March 1, 2019
A number of teams clinched hard-earned conference titles Thursday night, worthy achievements that deserve more notice than they sometimes receive. Also, the OVC race goes to the wire, and oh, the Pac-12…
The Morning Dish – Thursday, February 28, 2019
Tennessee toughed out an SEC road win at Ole Miss that had a big-time feel, maybe appropriate since March is just a day away now. Villanova did the same at home against Marquette, Texas should be in serious trouble, and the wacky MVC race will come down to the final day.
The Morning Dish – Wednesday, February 27, 2019
A pair of overtime games highlighted quite a night of basketball with some surprises. Plus a coach goes after an official, a well-played ACC matchup, and a school looks to recover something from the FBI investigation.
The Morning Dish – Tuesday, February 26, 2019
Kansas’s Big 12 streak is still alive, though its other-worldly performance on Mondays meant we should’ve expected as much. Iowa State, Florida State & Lipscomb also win and Northern Colorado makes the Big Sky race more interesting.
The Morning Dish – Monday, February 25, 2019
You may have forgotten about one of the modern day blueblood programs, and for somewhat understandable reason, but they reminded us that they are still around on Sunday. Plus the road is the great equalizer for one powerhouse program, a couple of mid-major races remain hotly contested, and a tie is broken in the Patriot League for now.
