In the midst of conference season, a non-conference set of games took center stage. They were far from alone in the important games of the day, though, and we take a look at notes from many of those games.
But Wait - There's More!
The Morning Dish – Saturday, January 30, 2016
It’s a new day at VCU, where there were some tough times early but good times now. Plus the smart kids are in full swing, a Gator may be out, and one coach doesn’t like an NBA focus in the television coverage.

The Morning Dish – Friday, January 29, 2016
North and south, east and west, there were high-level games and fantastic finishes last night. We’ve still got more than a month yet until we get to March-including a Leap Year day-but it felt like a snapshot from the greatest basketball month of the year.

If you only saw the first 38 1/2 minutes of the game between Virginia and Wake Forest Tuesday night, you wouldn’t believe the final result. In fact, the same would go if you only saw the first 39 minutes and 45 seconds. It was the Demon Deacons’ night, about to snap a four-game losing streak with a home win over a top 15 team. The Cavaliers were done. And then they weren’t.

Miami (Fla.) certainly appears to be well past its Dow Jones season of a year ago. This year, the Hurricanes have established themselves as a legitimate top 25 team, and quite likely will continue to be even more than that if they can continue results like their 80-69 win over Duke Monday night.
The Morning Dish – Monday, January 25, 2016
