*** A couple of stories have broken at ESPN.com
Texas A&M to meet with Debbie Downer-Whiner (Mark Turgeon was like that this season). Turgeon is currently at around $750K at Wichita State. In the Big 12, but no, not at Kansas State; he is a KU grad after all. So that puts him in pole position for the Kansas job if/when Bill Self leaves or gets fired.
Meanwhile Arkansas is getting a coach that may be a good match but perhaps not the big name some fans may have expected. John Pelphrey (why can't they have simple names?) has lots of SEC experience as a player/assistant coach, and hsi style of play would be fun to watch.
If you missed some of the NCAA games, or want to rewatch them, CSTV will have a 10-game marathon starting tonight (Sunday) at 4pmPT/7pmET. Three games will be shown tonight starting with my favorite game, VCU beating the dirty rotten smugfest of the Dirty Rat (Duke. Those three games repeat overnight, and then another block of seven games will be shown twice starting early tomorrow morning and going all the way through Tuesday morning. The TV listings are a bit inconstistent (CSTV vs TV listings) so double-check if you want to catch a particular game!!! All games (except one) air in a two-hour time slot.
Complete List of games to be shown:
VCU vs Duke
Xavier vs Ohio State (the Greg Oden intentional pushout and the Ron Lewis buzzer beater three poiter)
Vandy vs Washington State
Louisville vs Texas A&M (freshman Edgar Sosa scoring a 30+ but freezing at the free throw line at the end of the game)
Georgetown vs Vanderbilt (Jeff Green walks, dances, cha-cha-chas but scores when the game was on the line)
Memphis vs Texas A&M (Calipari's only NCAA win the last two years over a BCS team)
Ohio State vs Tennessee (another Ohio State comeback)
Georgetown vs North Carolina (another meltdown for the ages (remember UCLA vs Gonzaga, Arizona vs Illinois?), underrated Jonathan Wallace hits a clutch three to send the game to overtime)
Georgetown vs Ohio State (90 minute time slot)
Florida vs Ohio State (the final)
In between the games you can see a special version of One to One called the "Voices of March" featuring Dick Enberg, Jim Nantz and Billy Fudge-Packer (ha!)
Extended coverage at ESPN.com on Billy Gillispie at Kentucky, and Billy Donovan and the four juniors at Florida. Also a recap of the recent coaching carousel action that was spinning like crazy last week...
