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 – Saturday, February 23, 2019
Someone in Iowa City has quite the clutch gene, and he buried Indiana on Friday night the way he buried another team not long ago. Plus a bit of clarity emerges in one league race, very little in another, and suspensions are in the news that don’t just include a player.
The Morning Dish – Friday, February 22, 2019
A tense, terrific, every-possession-counts battle saw Cincinnati rally to edge UCF on Thursday. Plus, Chris Clemons & Mike Daum climb the scoring lists, San Francisco with a huge road comeback, Michigan makes it look easy & more.
The Morning Dish – Thursday, February 21, 2019
The big rivalry game will be most remembered for a bizarre occurrence just seconds into the ballgame, and not at all for the final result. Plus another bizarre result is in the SEC, some head-scratchers in another conference, and a past champion wins a game that influences the current race in their league.
The Morning Dish – Wednesday, February 20, 2019
One team whose season looked like it could get derailed at several points has just continued to win after regrouping. Plus a damaging loss in the ACC, Big Ten slides continue, and one mid-major is as hotly contested as they come.
The Morning Dish – Tuesday, February 19, 2019
Virginia slowly pulled away from Virginia Tech in the second half on the road Monday night, doing so in a most Virginia-like way, slowly and in a most satisfying way for the winners. Also, Kansas State takes care of business on the road, and TCU’s NCAA tourney chances running into trouble.
The Morning Dish – Monday, February 18, 2019
A triple-overtime game between Quinnipiac and Siena in the MAAC between two of many teams battling for the top had a pair of individual offensive eruptions on Sunday. Also, Missouri State’s remarkable in-season improvement, St. John’s with a stunning rally and Michigan State dominates second half against Ohio State.
The Morning Dish – Sunday, February 17, 2019
A big SEC matchup was expected to be the game of the day, and while it was a decisive win for the home team, it wasn’t quite the dandy it was expected. Plus a Wildcat goes down again and a Bulldog is out for at least one game.
The Morning Dish – Friday, February 15, 2019
Once again another highly ranked team had some trouble on the road this week, with Gonzaga only pulling away from Loyola Marymount in the final minutes. Plus: the Murray State/Austin Peay rivalry is back, and some superb individual performances in the Big Sky, CAA and Summit League.
The Morning Dish – Thursday, February 14, 2019
A wild night a couple of nights ago was followed up by a relatively ho-hum evening. Plus one team’s misery ends while another begins, mediocrity reigns out west, and a Fighting Camel climbs an all-time list a little further.
