The Morning Dish – Thursday, November 3, 2016
Welcome back to the Morning Dish for the 2016-17 season. Opening night is just eight days away, and as we get closer to the first counting games we continue Hoopville’s brief conference looks entering the season.
2015-16 Summit League Post-Mortem
The Summit League has been on the rise for much of this decade, but the confederation of Midwest and Great Plains schools really outdid itself in 2015-16.
The Morning Dish – Sunday, December 13, 2015
Of all the stats one will see this year, this may be one of the hardest to believe: Saturday’s game between Xavier and Cincinnati marked just the second time ever that both teams were nationally ranked entering the Crosstown Shootout.
