I would have thought Ohio State losing to North Carolina would have been bigger news, but the front page of ESPN's Men's College Basketball has a pic of McD. A nice story about UNI's team and the game last night. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/columns/story?id=2680946
If this has already been posted, I am sorry for the duplication....

Decent write up, but the writer said that UNI's posts were undersized. Their posts were their strong point. And I known Brooks isn't a big time scorer in college, but he does have a new role this year without Jacobson and he is the career points scoring leader in the history of Iowa High School Basketball so I would say he can fill it up. It bothers me sometimes that reporters don't do their research for schools like ISU.

Just so everybody knows, the article is written by a guy who covers Mid-Majors specifically, so that's probably why the article is featured as opposed to the UNC-OSU game.

Greg McDermott's Cyclones lost to his old team, but they're not alone.
Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution
What if George Mason's Final Four run wasn't a one-time miracle? Given all the marquee mid-major wins already the season, Pat Forde wonders if it was just the start of something bigger. Story
• Whelliston: No. Iowa gave McDermott a taste of what he left
• Gonzaga-Portland St. (8 ET) | Arkansas-Missouri (ESPN2, 9 ET) |
That's another CYCLONE.....FIRST DOWN!!!!

That was a really nice article. He's one of the most talented sportswriters I've read in quite a while. Very good use of language and pathos.
Thanks for the link!
