honesty is the best policy
-- John Delong of the Winston-Salem (NC) Journal depends the Duke Blue Devils from their preseason critics. Not a bad column, but terribly timed. Few folks currently hold the same opinion of Coach K's club they held before ACC conference play began.-- Bob Lipper of the Richmond (VA) Times-Dispatch pens one of those ho-hum columns about Illinois to which I had earlier alluded.
-- Jim Paul of the AP suggests that while some coaches win 'em over with kindness, Bruce Weber is doing it with honesty. Just call him Bruce "no-nonsense" Weber.
-- Gary Bedore of the Lawrence (KS) Journal-World suggests Kansas' elders are unlikely to experience seniorities. Not with only four home games left. While his colleague, contributing editor Bill Mayer, goes back in time and suggests "NCAA champions often have mix of experience, youth."
