As conference tournaments get into full swing, the Mountain West takes center stage with its share of drama, including a shocker to end the day. Plus the Huskies get a big win to affect the top of their conference race, the Pac-12 is down to two for its regular season crown, and the Eagles soar above their competitors to control their own destiny in the Big Sky.
The SEC may be led by the team most expected, but how they got there has certainly not been a linear journey. Plus a Big Ten star returns from injury with a big game, a new record in the Big 12, and the Northeast Conference gets tighter at the top.
In the Big East, one coach who just continues to win also continues to not get a lot of pub about the job he’s done. Plus a surprise in the ACC, more overtime success for an SEC school, and good news coming out of a scary moment from a night earlier.
The first day of action in the Maui Invitational didn’t quite start off as expected, but that might help in a year where it may be surpassed in terms of having the best field. Plus more tournament action includes one championship, a program first in Richmond, and a Hawkeye is done for the season.
As early season tournaments get going with a few finishing up, one champion shows us what college basketball is these days as they show some resilience. Plus a few more tournament results, and another showcase features a triple overtime game that flew under many radars.
One of the last games of the night was all we could hope for and more, and also leaves one hopeful about future matchups between the two teams. Plus more tournaments get going, a straw breaks the camel’s back with transfer waivers, and a Wildcat is gone from the program.
One final Morning Dish for the 2018-19 season before taking a break. The offseason for college basketball seems to be regularly filled with bad news. It would be wonderful to hear far more stories like that of Seton Hall’s Michael Nzei.
We look back at the first full day of the NCAA Tournament, from the action Ted saw in Jacksonville to a couple of disappointing endings to the season and an individual performance that won’t soon be forgotten.
The Streak is officially over, the end of an incredible run. Plus big results in the Big Ten, a great road team in the ACC, and conference tournament play continues to get underway.
Tennessee toughed out an SEC road win at Ole Miss that had a big-time feel, maybe appropriate since March is just a day away now. Villanova did the same at home against Marquette, Texas should be in serious trouble, and the wacky MVC race will come down to the final day.
