Media Days Madness

By Mel Greenberg

There's Midnight Madness to launch the preseason and March Madness, which drips into April, to describe the post season, but the headline above describes our working involvement concerning what is occuring right now.

On Thursday, we'll be at the annual Big East confab in New York, while Jonathan will be on the scene in Atlantic City blogging the Atlantic Ten men's event and helping us be in two places at once with the women's atendees, of which only four teams -- George Washington, Temple, Charlotte, and Xavier will have their women's coaches on hand.

Meanwhile, we spent Tuesday in North Carolina at the Atlantic Coast Conference's media event and coverage of that can be found over at the women's hoops guru blog. We have lots more news, other conference reports and semi-related email items, but refrained for now because we have an early train to catch and we forgot how to insert one of those famous jump links that Jonathan provided in the Drexel post beneath.

That's it for now.
