Reflecting on the first (half) month of the college basketball season, we look back at some of the bests, worsts, achievements and trends from November:

The Morning Dish – Monday, November 30, 2015
A Big Ten powerhouse closed out a great month of November, plus a big start for a Big East team, a bright spot in a forgettable weekend, and more growing pains for a consistent program.
The Morning Dish – Friday, November 27, 2015
Thanksgiving Day traditionally hasn’t been a hotbed for college basketball, but in recent years the sport has had an increasing presence on the day, with the continued proliferation of exempted tournaments. (And that’s not an all bad thing, considering the lackluster quality of the NFL games yesterday…)

2013-14 MAAC Post-Mortem

Weekend Tournament Quick Hitters
While NJIT’s losing streak gets plenty of attention, Monmouth also entered Saturday’s game without a win. They were 0-6, albeit against a very difficult schedule, so they were happy to get a win. The least difficult opponent they had played before Saturday is probably FIU, and that was a road game against a team not lacking in talent that has been hit by injuries.
