We just had one of the few truly wild Saturdays of the season thus far, in a season that has been full of surprises and unpredictability, and it happened from start to finish. Plus, a big announcement of a doubleheader to be played in London.
The Morning Dish
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 22, 2020
Friday night saw an unpleasant surprise team in the Atlantic 10 lose their fourth straight game and continue to trend in the wrong direction. Plus another interesting night in the Ivy League, the top two in the Northeast continue to win, and one team in the MAAC is on top and got a bit of help on the evening.
The Morning Dish – Friday, February 21, 2020
The Pac-12 has much to be settled, but two relative surprises among the top three after Thursday night. Plus a big rally shakes up the top in one mid-major, the Hawkeyes take care of business at home, and a coach gets a show-cause penalty.
The Morning Dish – Thursday, February 20, 2020
There was no shortage of urgency heading into the home stretch for NC State, and they certainly showed it in taking advantage of a big quality win opportunity. Plus the Wildcats have a bigger lead, a dramatic home win on a night with road wins in the Big East, and two league leaders go on the road and win to stay tied at the top.
The Morning Dish – Wednesday, February 19, 2020
The SEC may be led by the team most expected, but how they got there has certainly not been a linear journey. Plus a Big Ten star returns from injury with a big game, a new record in the Big 12, and the Northeast Conference gets tighter at the top.
The Morning Dish – Tuesday, February 18, 2020
One Big East team that had some non-conference success has continued to find ways to lose in Big East play, and did so again on Monday night. Plus a couple of different TV game results, two teams have at it when the game ends, and another conference comes out in support of something with transfers.
The Morning Dish – Monday, February 17, 2020
It’s been an interesting first season for Juwan Howard at his alma mater, with a lot happening from the beginning to Sunday’s blowout of Indiana. Plus a former Wolverine head coach appears to not be long for his current job, the Aztecs continue to win, and a Husky goes down early to the chagrin of many, including an opposing player.
The Morning Dish – Sunday, February 16, 2020
After a bad year and a subsequent drawn-out coaching search, who would have imagined UCLA would even remotely contend in the Pac-12? Plus a former Bruin chooses an interesting home on a busy day of action.
The Morning Dish – Saturday, February 15, 2020
The Ivy League is looking a little different than expected, with only one of the top three preseason picks among the top three at the midway point. Plus the leaders win in a couple of other mid-major leagues, the MAAC continues to be a tight race, and one MAAC coach will be sticking around a little longer.
The Morning Dish – Friday, February 14, 2020
It seems like so long ago that Memphis was thought to be a top 10 team and perhaps even a national title contender. Plus things are getting more interesting out west, a big win in the Big Ten for a team that has been up and down, and the challenges continue in Austin.
