darcy!
-- The Cincinnati Enquirer's Dustin Dow suggests more is at stake for Xavier than for Cincinnati in Thursday's cross-town shootout. But I disagree. Bob Huggins' team is 0-4 against Top 25 competition. Following the Bearcats' loss to Charlotte, a defeat at the hands of Xavier would seriously damage Cincinnati's NCAA Tournament seed, emphasizing the Bearcats' bad rather than good losses. Win or lose, however, the Musketeers are an unlikely NCAA Tournament bet.-- Charley Walters of the St. Paul (MN) Pioneer Press has a nice chat with Darcy Monson, wife of Golden Gophers coach Dan Monson. She sounds like she knows her stuff.
-- The Casper (WY) Star Tribune's Jack Daly writes up the Cowboys' surprising success. A win tonight against New Mexico would catapult Wyoming into a tie for second place in the Mountain West Conference. But with Danny Granger back in action, I expect the Lobos to defeat the Cowboys without too much effort.
-- Bryan Mullen of the Tennessean profiles walk-on and fan favorite Aubrey Hammond, an "everyman for every fan."
