Tuesday evening readaround
We used to maintain a permanent link along the right side of the page to a blog called ET on Sports. ET, is Eric Thomas, a recent Penn State grad who exited college with a degree and a lot of experience in sports journalism. E has worked part time at the Patriot-News in Harrisburg and has written elsewhere. He also has done a lot of radio. In fact he still dabbles on the air doing color for Bucknell women's games. His day job, though, is in the sports shop at the Shamokin News-Item, a Times-Shamrock publication in the Coal Region that lies between Lewisburg and Pat Flannery's hometown of Pottsville.

The News-Item suffers from a one big flaw-- its Web site updates sporadically, and never early in the day. Because of that, we have not linked to a lot of E's work on the Bucknell beat.

Before the Bucknell-Holy Cross game, E sent us some Ralph Willard quotes from his preview story to share with Hoop Time readers. This week he has done one better, posting his preview of the Bucknell-Lehigh game on his old blog to share it with Hoop Time readers. Thanks Eric.

BRACKET BUSTERITIS . . . Tom Housenick of the Daily Item had a column Monday about Bucknell's Brack4et Buster possibilities.

KUDOS PAT . . . Flannery makes the list of 8 mid-major "coaches deserving recognition" at insidehoops.com
