-- Another daily read, Rick Alonzo of the St. Paul (MN) Pioneer Press, gets it right, previewing tonight's all-too significant Indiana-Minnesota game. The winner becomes a good bet to go dancing. The loser is likely NIT-bound.
-- Rumors, rumors everywhere.

-- Lou Henson will likely attend the University of Illinois' Centennial Celebration this weekend.
