Minnesota has had a few challenging games thus far, including in the NIT Season Tip-Off. The Golden Gophers’ big challenge, however, appears to be in their future.
But Wait - There's More!
Some notes from the National Prep Showcase
The busy weekend that just passed also included a few games at the National Prep Showcase. Here are a few notes from some of the action early on Friday and Saturday.
Houston is trying to find an identity early on
Houston went on the road and was soundly defeated by Harvard on Tuesday. It’s a game that Kelvin Sampson hopes to take a lot from early in his tenure with a new-look team as they try to find out who they are.
The Morning Dish – Friday, November 28, 2014
Hoping all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. The college basketball action was far better than the football games.
The Morning Dish – Thursday, November 27, 2014
Happy Thanksgiving to all. One of college basketball’s true Thanksgiving traditions got underway once again last night, as the 37th annual Great Alaska Shootout got underway.

The Big East is getting by just fine. Here is how good the Big East has been so far this year: nine of its 10 teams are so far undefeated. Villanova is 5-0. So are Providence and Creighton. Xavier and Seton Hall are 4-0. Georgetown, St. John’s and Butler are 3-0. Shoot, even DePaul is 2-0.
Florida State’s early record isn’t the most important thing
Florida State left Connecticut with a 1-3 mark, clearly not a good start. The record only tells some of the story, however, and isn’t the most important thing for them right now.

By its extremely lofty standards, this year’s Maui Invitational is rather light fare, though still one of the kings of the in-season tournaments. Maui is always a highlight of November and Thanksgiving week, dating back to its emergence in the late 1980s, and the tourney opened yesterday with quarterfinals. The best game of the four was the last one, as old WAC and Mountain West rivals San Diego State and BYU went at it good deep into the night for us on the mainland.
