I’m headed out to watch the semifinals of the Passaic County tournament at Kennedy in Paterson. The games feature No. 1 Paterson Catholic against No. 4 Eastside and No. 2 Kennedy against No. 6 DePaul. Check back later on some updates on the games and players like Fuquan Edwin and St. Joseph’s-bound guard Justin Crosgile.
In the meantime, today’s college slate features a slew of great bracket-buster games:
Noon – Butler at Davidson, ESPN
3 – Northern Iowa at Siena, ESPN2
5 – Utah State at St. Mary’s, ESPN2
9:30 – George Mason at Creighton, ESPNU
11:30 – Pepperdine at Gonzaga, ESPNU
***Speaking of Utah State, there’s a great feature in today’s New York Times on Stew Morrill’s team, which is 25-2 this year and 157-12 at home.
***Speaking of Siena (21-6), the team has clinched the MAAC title behind guard Kenny Hasbrouck. A year ago, Siena upset No. 4-seeded Vanderbilt in the NCAA Tournament and once again it looks like the the Saints will be the closest the New York metropolitan area gets to sending a team to the Big Dance.
***Also on TV today is the Nebraska-Kansas game at 4 on YES, in case you want to see how the Jayhawks’ faithful treat Brooklyn Lincoln star and McDonald’s All-American Lance Stephensonwho is tripping officially to KU.
***The Big Lead has an interview with ESPN.com Editor in Chief Rob King about a multitute of topics, including the question of whether print is officially dead in this country. It’s a good read.
