The battle of the Cougars in Houston had the best ending of the night. Plus the Backyard Brawl is decisive, a transfer case is settled, and another school appeals its NCAA punishment.
But Wait - There's More!
The Morning Dish – Friday, November 15, 2019
We almost saw the stuff of legends on Thursday night, though it was still a pretty amazing performance in Newark. Plus a nice road win in DC, a lawsuit is dropped, and an Aggie suspended.
Talking Hoops With Ted Sarandis – November 14, 2019
With over a week of the season now in the books, we have plenty to talk about, starting with the biggest shocker of the early going. We also look at more consequences of the too-early start to the season, the James Wiseman story, and the potential for a resurgence in the Pac-12, among other things.
The Morning Dish – Thursday, November 14, 2019
The Big East appears to have met its match in the early going in the Gavitt Tipoff Games, narrowly avoiding a sweep on the evening. Plus a good win in Richmond, another stinker in Tampa, and a good road win for a Big 12 team.
The Morning Dish – Wednesday, November 13, 2019
Just a week into the season, we’ve already had our first shocker and second top team in the polls to go down. Plus other close calls in the same conference, the Gavitt Games continue, and a conference’s attempt at a resurgence continues.
The public is behind James Wiseman and Memphis, but there are big risks for many involved
The story of James Wiseman at Memphis has taken over the college basketball news cycle, and for good reason. He and the school are fighting the NCAA, and they have the public behind them, so this is going to be quite a big deal no matter how it turns out.
If Harvard is to reach their potential, a better start will help as much as getting stars healthy
Harvard is already a deep team without two Ivy League Player of the Year candidates in action due to injury. If they get healthy, they will only be deeper, but starting a game off well is perhaps a more important path to big winning for this team.
The Morning Dish – Tuesday, November 12, 2019
Don’t look now, but Monday night might have some evidence that the Blue Demons are about to be relevant again. Plus a big win out west and a transfer will have to sit the year, which isn’t sitting well with a person close to him.
For now, Jordan Roland is carrying Northeastern
Jordan Roland is off to a hot start for Northeastern, carrying them to a 2-0 start with some big numbers. But the Huskies have more than just him, though that might not be clear until a little later in the season.
The Morning Dish – Monday, November 11, 2019
The result of a big in-state rivalry is ripe for over-reacting on either side, and we look at how one might do that as well as how we should read the result. Plus another good win by a conference trying to bounce back, a Spartan gamely battles after tragedy, and a very rough start down south.
