When: Friday, 7:25 p.m., EDT

XAVIER MUSKETEERS

1) A-10 bad, non-conference good Coach Sean Miller has Xavier prepared for the tournament. The Muskies have non-conference wins over the Big 12 tourney champs (Missouri), SEC regular season champs (LSU), and C-USA overlords (Memphis). In addition they played tourney teams Duke, Butler, and Robert Morris winning one of the three. (Guess which one.) More »

1. Ok, so what's the deal with P. State? After 12 years in the NCAA hinterlands, your Portland State Vikings are ready for their national media close-up. Why do I say "your" Portland State Vikings? Because, inevitably in the run up to the school's first-ever NCAA Tournament game next week you will be inundated with stories (and a likely CBS video montage) about the plucky Big Sky champions and by the time you're done hearing about the Vikings pint-sized point guard and the school that couldn't even get respect in its home town you're going to want to drop everything, buy a Jerry Glanville mask and move to Portland. It's the largest public university in Oregon (bigger than Oregon and Oregon State) and is nestled in downtown Portland in the lovely Park Blocks. Pretty much everyone and their mother in Portland has at one time or another taken a class there, but few claim the commuter campus as their school. (We call it PSU, not P-State, Nittany this, Lions!). More »

So you know how Jerry Glanville is now the defensive coordinator at Hawaii? That's a job that has always made sense; if you've made your money in football, and still want to be a part of it but don't want to live the insane, 20-hour-day of the modern coach, kicking back and coaching defense in Hawaii seems like a good way to go. Well, it looks like Glanville wants to be a head coach again, and he's interviewing this week with ... uh ... Division I-AA Portland State University. Really. He appears to be really into the whole thing too. More »
