OSU got a massive PG recruit last night in Cezar Guerrero. I’m not THRILLED about another score-first point (where are all the Gottliebs?) but he’s a top-25 recruit for a reason and any competition we can stir between Gulley, Dowell, and him is going to be a positive thing. (News OK)

Morgan Hoffman inserted himself into POY talks with his victory at Southern Highlands last weekend. (Golf Week)

Preview of tonight’s game from Harvard’s student paper. I can all but guarantee you this is the only time we’ll ever link Harvard’s student paper on this blog. Also, I’m not entirely sure (mostly because it’s probably over my head) but I think they take a few veiled shots at us. (Harvard Crimson)

The good and bad of the NCAA tournament as noted by The Dagger. I have to admit I really like having Barkley in-studio because I could care less about in-depth analysis of Marquette’s back court. Entertain me, make me laugh a few times, and let me watch the games. That’s all I want. (The Dagger)

Great story by Helsley on Moses listening to Dowell blow up against A&M during his ambulance ride to Stillwater Medical. (News OK)

I know it’s the middle of bracket season so here’s a football one for you that makes sense. (Dr. Saturday)

If you’re into the “for entertainment purposes only” portion of the tournament read this post about why Washington is a higher favorite than the seeds above them. (The Dagger)
