fun with lists
-- Gene Keady might not retire after all. Or so extrapolates Rick Alonzo of the St. Paul (MN) Pioneer Press from Keady's admission that he would consider an offer to coach next season.-- Ugh. I've avoided linking to numerous school press releases about Street & Smith's "100 Greatest College Basketball Programs of All-Time. " But now that none other than Louisville Courier-Journal columnist Rick Bozich (!) has written a piece about the best free publicity rankings of all time, I thought to chime in and give Bozich his due. Few Kentucky-based writers would dare rank UCLA the best program of all-time. But Rick has -- and rightly so. The Bruins don't hold the most NCAA Championships for nothing.
-- Wow. Now the AP gets into the fray, finding Bo "Ryan still seething about Butch bashing." Methinks Doug Gottlieb is now less popular than even Bruce Weber among the Kohl Center faithful.
-- Free tickets to the Charlotte-Cincinnati game will be distributed tomorrow beginning at 8 a.m. Coach Bobby Lutz will pass out doughnuts to students who camp out tonight for tickets to Saturday's game. A nice gesture, no?
