Luke Winn has a piece at si.com about three teams that changed personalities this season without a coaching change. It’s kind of an extension of the Basketball ShrinkTM I introduced a while back, with the respective coaches trying to explain the changes. This is especially nice because 1) We all get to read something by somebody who took more than just ‘Technical Writing’ in college, and 2) I can take a day off. It’s a win-win, or a win-Winn. Yeah, whatever.

Over at ESPN, Andy Katz takes a nice stab at some championship week hype. But the discriminating mid-major connoisseur will be over at the midmajority over the next couple of weeks as Kyle documents all the mid-major tournaments in digest form and attends 32 games on his own. Methinks Kyle shouldn’t be surprised if at some point during that time the Official WifeTM makes eyes at Bally the Basketball.
