The Morning Dish – Sunday, February 26, 2017
On the final Saturday of February, a day that featured several big-time top 15 matchups got a jolt in one of its final games of the day.

After unexpectedly making as much news as just about any team in the country a year ago, Monmouth has been conspicuously quiet on the national scene this year. But don’t be fooled.

It wouldn’t be a college basketball season without Belmont finding a way to make ripples with its excellence, and sure enough, the Bruins are at it again.
The Morning Dish – Friday, January 20, 2017

We’re well past the turn of the new year now, settled firmly into conference play, and around-the-clock talk of bracketology and Joe Lunardi on ESPN 25 hours a day is just around the corner (in the rare case with that network, this is not a bad thing-there’s never enough of affable Joe in February and March).
