sick, tired & ugly
-- Long Beach State senior Cody Pearson is having trouble a sleeping. Two wins in 15 games will do that to you. Frank Burlison (who has yet to reply to an email from yours truly) wrote the Pearson piece as part of his day job with the Long Beach (CA) Press-Telegram.-- Steve Sneddon of the Reno (NV) Gazette-Journal pens a column about Tulsa's current struggles without considering the Golden Hurricane coaching search. Too bad, as I am looking for hints of a Nolan Richardson, Matt Doherty, Josh Pastner or Mike Davis hiring.
-- Bud Withers of the Seattle Times makes his contribution to the "Larry Eustachy is back!" meme. I'm already sick of these types of pieces.
-- Indiana has won six of seven. A.J. Ratliff believes the hot streak will take the pressure off Mike Davis. Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette columnist Ben Smith disagrees, suggesting Indiana's style of play -- ugly -- will give the critics plenty about which to complain. Though they might eventually be quieted if Indiana keeps winning.
