Merry Christmas. On this Christmas Day, we remember one of the bigger upsets all-time in college basketball which took place 30 years ago as an NCAA Division II team rained three-pointers to stun a top-5 Division I squad.

A quick look at key results and/or top stories from the night before, as well as a look ahead to key games during the season, to lead a reader into the new day
The Morning Dish – Monday, December 24, 2018
The Missouri Valley Conference had a nice day on Sunday, which can make things a little better late in the non-conference game. Plus another thriller in Las Vegas, and the Cougars run away from a visiting team that didn’t have a good night shooting the ball.

Kansas played its first true road game of the season Saturday night at Arizona State. It shouldn’t be much of a surprise that the Jayhawks lost. Plus, Saturday’s top individual performances including a unique double-double by Old Dominion’s Aaron Carver and ETSU wins the venerable Sun Bowl Invitational:

Buffalo’s quest to remain undefeated during their great early run was stopped when they ran into a buzzsaw. Plus another first loss of the season, another hit to a conference that has taken too many, and two Big 12 teams have opposite results in close games.

Duke and Texas Tech provided contrast, one of the things college basketball does best. Also, Houston stays undefeated with another second half rally, Purdue gets back on track and North Texas wins again.
The Morning Dish – Thursday, December 20, 2018
On a night with three matchups between the conferences, the ACC had the SEC’s number, especially in Raleigh. Plus the hits keep coming for one conference out west, another west coast team looks better all the time, and a couple of coaches will be under contract a little longer.

Yes, that is correct: Buffalo won at Syracuse, and it was not an upset. Plus a newly revived rivalry has some gasoline thrown on it, more in the saga of a fired Husky alum and coach, and a Wildcat will be out for a lot of conference play.
The Morning Dish – Tuesday, December 18, 2018
Arizona State started strong, but it was all downhill from there as Vanderbilt topped the ranked Sun Devils at Memorial Gym. Plus, Gardner-Webb continues recent history of beating big boys.
The Morning Dish – Monday, December 17, 2018
A year after just missing the NCAA Tournament, the Cornhuskers are reaping the benefits of not sitting still. Plus some Cougars continue to win, and a tripleheader of good matchups also highlights the slate.
The Morning Dish – Sunday, December 16, 2018
It’s amazing that we could consider an ACC and national powerhouse to be under the radar, but that has been the case even as they beat a team that was recently atop the polls. Plus on a busy day of games, two teams suffer injuries in games they win.
