Handicapping the mixed-up SEC tourney field
The SEC Tournament beckons, and most teams appear to have both reasons for optimism and reasons to be concerned.

The Pac-12 is much better this year, but the competitiveness hasn’t changed and the standings are but one reflection of that. Plus a big day of action, one player apparently bit off more than he can chew, and a couple of injuries will keep players out until at least late in the season.
The Morning Dish – Thursday, January 16, 2020
Only one undefeated team remains as an arch rival knocks off the only one that was in action on Wednesday. Plus a Big East team plays like they were expected to, while the rest of the conference is simply unpredictable, and a buzzer-beater in Columbia.

A Big Ten program that hasn’t been relevant in some time just might be moving back in that direction after all, despite a few earlier misses. Plus the two undefeated teams were both in action, a Big East team gets back on track, and one coach will get to stay in his current job a little longer.

West Virginia is having the kind of year many expect of Bob Huggins’ teams, and they got the kind of win most figured they would get at some point last year but never did. Plus the Flames go down for the first time, the Jayhawks get a win and then a scare, and a Spartan misses a game due to injury.

There were a few games of interest on Friday night, especially one that opened a new arena and for a while looked like history might repeat itself before a dramatic ending. Plus early conference games, a rivalry renewed in Rhode Island goes to the home team, and the Spartans take another hit on the perimeter.
The Morning Dish – Saturday, November 30, 2019
Oklahoma State continued what has been a pretty good week for the Big 12 in winning tournaments, though they are being chased. Plus a great week for a first-year coach, the Blue Demons remain undefeated, and a late game was as good as advertised.
The Morning Dish – Wednesday, November 20, 2019
A breakout performance against a stout defense looked like it might be enough for a big win, but it was not meant to be. Plus a couple of mid-majors break through, the Huskies were hot a little west of home, and a pair of Cardinals may be returning soon.
