Stanford's promising NBAer forward Brook Lopez gets into deeper trouble as he gets an indefinite suspension on top of his academic troubles. Judging from what Coach Trent Johnson said, he must have fallen behind on classwork and practices.

Cracked Sidewalks says that Tom Crean is using high above above sea level exercise equipment. If they make it to the Final Four, expect a detailed Leslie Visser report on this in late March on CBS :-)

The Big Media Files

Paul Hewitt loses ...Joe Torre but gains Iman (no, not the supermodel). Details at Goodman's blog.

Goodman takes a look at the New Gators with Alex Tyus making an impressions, which does not surprise us as he was the one who did the hard work in AAU teams loaded with Burger boys. Also Levance Fields drops 20 lbs and has something else dropped. And not good for the Sweet 16 UNLV Rebels, one of their incoming big men won't be eligible to play this season. Check Goodman's blog for all the details.

DeCourcy scouts UCLA practices and thinks they look like a #1 team. Presumably on defense? :)

DeCourcy also tackles the latest kerfuffle at Indiana. No, not Bob Knight or Mike "Whiner" Davis, it's Kelvin "500 calls" Sampson! And was the intern who made the revelations a Bob Knight guy? :)

But DeCourcy thinks that Sampson does not deserve all the blame. Big Brother should own up as well.

DeCourcy's famous Inside Dish serves a double post at Texas A&M with some Ole Roy secondary breaks, an update on the injury of Sharaud Curry at Providence, and an update on the Duke Slayers (VCU Rams). There is no better way for a team to earn my favor than by beating the Dookies :-)

DeCourcy also revisits the story of power forward Trevor Mbakwe of Marquette.
