today's MoVal "bracket buster"
-- Stan Heath thinks it is about time to notch a Big Win. I agree. Fortunately, Kentucky comes calling on Saturday.-- Bill Koch of the Cincinnati Enquirer examines the effect last week's benching has had on Armein Kirkland's play. I think Bob Huggins went a little too far in comparing the would-be Bearcat star to Chris Paul, Steve Logan, Nick Van Exel and Kenyon Martin.
-- Bob Thomas of the Florida Times-Union writes-up criticisms of the ACC's now unbalanced schedules. Nothing new here.
-- Pittsburgh's Dante Milligan, a 6'8" redshirt freshman, has decided to transfer. Not a big loss for the Panthers.
-- Andrew Logue of the Des Moines (IA) Register previews Northern Iowa-Wichita State and asks if both squads, along with Southern Illinois, could receive NCAA Tournament bids. The answer is yes, but only if each wins nearly the rest of their games.
