Checked out all yesterday's games and still crave more hoops? Here are few other items of interest.

  • Tom Housenick of The Daily Item spent his spare time between Friday night's Bucknell-Navy men's game and yesterday afternoon's women's game between the same two schools to put together a column on the Donald Brown situation.

  • Navy beat guy Bill Wagner does a nice job covering the Mids for the Annapolis Capital. Often it goes unmentioned here because the paper does not update its Web site until late in the day, well after we have finished our updates. Here is his account of Friday night's game.

  • You need a lot of institutional memory to recall the play of Holy Cross center Jim Nairus, an academic all-American who was a first-team all league pick and also made the all-tournament team back when this thing of ours began in 1991. A guy who has that kind of recall is Holy Cross play-by-play man Bob Fouracre, who has called over 2,500 HC games in his 37 years behind the mic. Both are set to enter the Holy Cross athletics hall of fame in May.

  • Army's freshman center, Chris Walker, Saturday got some ink back home in Georgia in a little where-are-they-now type piece from the Gwinnett Daily Post.

  • We don't cover much of the ladies' side of the league. Matter of fact, aside from the HC games we cover for the Telegram & Gazette and the occasional Bucknell women's game with the daughters, we pay next to no attention to the women's games. Time constraints and a lack of media coverage make it impossible to keep up with the whole league, so we didn't know (Celtics player) Wally Szczerbiak's little sister Wendy played for Lehigh until we read Bill Doyle's column in today's Telegram & Gazette.

  • If you are looking to catch up on the women's side of the league, here's a quick primer: Bucknell is in first place following a win Saturday at Navy. Defending champion Army is one game back after beating Colgate. Longtime league powerhouse Holy Cross has struggled after losing its top two point guards to knee injuries, but seems to be starting to pick up the pieces after a win Saturday over Lafayette that got the Crusaders back to .500 after a 1-4 start in league play.
