Double-T Nation News:
I over-slept this morning so I'm running a little late. I apologize in advance if the quality isn't there.
In no particular order, DTN's Top Five:
- Inside the Hall thinks Kelvin Sampson needs to go. Last night I asked if IU would trade Sampson for Pat Knight, with their current resumes. I'm pretty sure I'd make that trade.
- DMN blogger Tim MacMahon thinks that this is a perfect opportunity for RMK to go back to IU. I just can't see that happening, at least right now, but things are unfolding a little too nicely to be coincidental.
- Barking Carnival notes that players and "coaches" on the field will receive a 5 yard penalty.
- Ken Pom gives you three candidates for the Final Four, one of those teams included Kansas State.
- One more note on Sampson, the Indy Star wants something to happen sooner rather than later. Sampson is a joke of a coach who thinks he's above the rules. IU is too good for Sampson.
Texas Tech Basketball:
ESPN highlights can be found here.
LAJ's Jeff Walker has his game story from last night's win over K-Stateand Pat Knight's first win at Texas Tech and as a collegiate head coach. Pat seemed pretty happy last night:
Martin Zeno, who was sick with the flu, came up big last night scoring in and around the paint:
Walker also writes about the fans welcoming PK, as well as the pre-game introductions.
DMN's Brandon George writes his game review from the win over the Wildcats. Voskuil liked getting the win for PK and appreciated the new player introductions:
Snip
"That felt great, coming out fired up," Voskuil said. "It got the crowd into it."
An excellent review of the game.
The Kansas City Star's Howard Richman notes that the K-State players know that they only held the lead in the Big 12 for 48 hours. I also thought that this quote from Voskuil about the Beasley technical foul was interesting:
Raiderade gives you a first-hand account of last night's game.
Texas Tech Football:
Kayakyakr picked this up yesterday and The Wiz has something on it this morning, but here's the bad news for college football fans:
Yes, someone should be fired. College football games are not too long, they're perfect. Stop effing with the game we love.
