Daily Grind - Friday

Rivals writer Andrew Skwara has an interesting story on attendance records andthe MVC. Creighton (#20 nationwide) leads the way with an average of 13,900 humanoids per game. Wichita State (#34 nationwide) brought in 10,435. On average the MVC was just a couple of hundred fans behind the Pac10. And they may as well surpass the Pac10 next season given the success of the MVC. Skwara also writes about the BigEast 2-million-club, and he also has a mini-interview with new Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy, UConn planning a three-guard lineup (but no, Ben Gordon and Ray Allen are not eligible).

The good people at Insidehoops bring us more stories today, including the dismissal of Bryson Krueger from ASU (ironic since they recently lost Kevin Kruger to UNVL), two Wisconsin players regaining eligibility, Jim Calhoun's all-star game, and tidbits on Marquette, Indiana/Sampson, SoCal recruits, and whole lot more!

The 144-days previewers, aka CollegeHoopsNet have a story from the Oregonian on a work-in-progress for a Pac10-Big12 challenge. If you recall a few months ago Andy Katz was talking about the possibility of an SEC-Big12 challenge but he said that they were running into serious scheduling issues.
