    MU Hotel to Become Student Housing

    Pretty big announcement today. The Hotel Memorial Union is shutting down on July 1. The university is converting some of the rooms to temporary student housing starting this fall. I know they have people living in residence hall dens so I imagine the MU hotel room space will be the first...

    Drew Ott Appeal Denied

    Drew Ott's appeal for another year with a medical hardship waiver was denied today. I would feel bad for the kid if he wasn't going to the NFL. Instead I'll be happy that he isn't playing against Iowa State while he instead goes and collects millions of dollars. It seemed like a longshot all...

    Otzelberger Offered UW-M Job Before Chancellor Overruled Decision

    Really interesting story from WTMJ in Milwaukee. Reporting that Otz was a finalist for the Wisconsin-Milwaukee job, was offered the position, and accepted--only to have the search committee's decision overruled by the university's chancellor. Some allusions here to the chancellor's goal of...

    Iona is the trendy upset pick

    Having watched a little analysis on CBS and ESPN tonight, it's painfully obvious that Iona is the trendy pick to upset a top 5 seed in the first weekend. Scott Van Pelt, Dan Dakich, and "The Bear" on ESPN all just rattled off Iona as their pick on ESPN just now. I have to think this is a good...

    Duke - NC State

    Duke battling with NC State right now in the ACC tournament on ESPN. Duke dropping this game would be a nice boost to Iowa State's chances of moving up to a 4 or even a 3 seed with win(s) in Kansas City.

    Iowa State #21 in AP Poll

    http://collegebasketball.ap.org/poll I think staying at #21 is a good sign for those who worried that the ranked streak might end next week if ISU loses to OU. Losing to OU might knock ISU down a couple spots but should still stay in the top 25. (You would think the Baylor-Texas winner would...

    KU magic number: 1

    Amazing to me that after everything that has happened this season, KU's "magic number" is just 1 to continue the streak to 12 straight years of winning at least a share of the Big 12 regular season title. They can clinch it Saturday at home against Texas Tech (or at Texas or vs. Iowa State next...
