I hope none of you missed out on hoops this weekend. Saturday was unquestionably the most entertaining day of college basketball we've had all season.

The Morning Dump will try to catch you up to speed on the most exciting day of hoops thus far.

- Mic Cronin delivered one helluva post-game press conference (Even if he did negate it by levying weak suspensions)
