Monday morning readaround
Here are a few clicks to keep you busy until the polls come out this afternoon:

  • Your favorite team not playing well headed into the tournament? Take a break from basketball long enough to read this story from Tom Housenick of the Daily Item, who stepped away from the court himself to pen a fine look at how life has changed for Bucknell assistant coach Bryan Goodman and his wife, Amy, following the birth last month of the couple's first four children -- quadruplets. It's a wonderful reminder that hoops is just a game.

  • Another Bucknell beat writer, Eric Thomas of the Shamokin News-Item, stuck to hoops for a column on Bucknell's mindset heading into the Patriot League Tournament. The News-Item's Web site is a spotty proposition sometimes. Updates are late in the day and unpredictable at best. But Eric, who had a blog of his own before he started the full-time gig with the News-Item, has taken to posting his stuff there, in part to make it possible for us to find it for linking. Thanks E.

  • From the Morris (N.J.) Daily Record, a look at Delbarton H.S. junior Justin Garris, little brother of American's Gary Garris.

  • Over at CollegeInsider.com, Morehead St. coach Kyle Macy's weekly "Window Shopping at Macy's" column answers a lot of fans questions about Mid Major programs, with the help of other coaches, including Ralph Willard, who helps address Kevin from Richmond's concerns about Lehigh being neglected by the Mid Major Top 25 voters. When you read it, keep in mind it was written before WIllard's Holy Cross team beat Lehigh Sunday.
