Kentucky @ Indiana Preview
The Maniac has a guest column on TheSportsGeek.com previewing today's rivalry clash in Bloomington. You can check it out here:
This is Indiana's big litmus test to show if they are in fact legitimately back and an NCAA Tourney caliber team, or if their 8-0 start is aided by a dreadful schedule with only wins over Butler (who is WAY down) and NC State of any value whatsoever.
You'll have to drop in on TheSportsGeek to get the whole breaksdown, but let's just say Cody Zeller is in for a rude awakwning tonight with Anthony Davis lurking inside. He's already pushed his big brother Tyler around last Saturday, this weekend he gets to make it two for two...

Here We Go Again - Crosstown Shootout Marred by Late-Game Brawl
First things first; North Carolina @ Kentucky last week was "intense" and "passionately fought." The Xavier/UC nonsense today was just immaturity and sloppiness. There is a huge difference - please don't let any of the similarly sloppy media coverage convince you sucker punching and brawling equals "intensity." It's just not accurate.
I'm not going to go all Joe Buck/Bob Costas sanctimonious on you here, but it is getting a little ridiculous how impossible it is becoming to talk about basketball after each annual installment of Cincinnati's fabled Crosstown Shootout. Which is a shame too, because it is otherwise fantastic attention for one of the nation's finest college basketball regions in the country.
Here's a few good stories recapping today's nonsense, as well as a few links to previous Maniac Crosstown columns...
A little classic Crosstown Shootout Audio - Good call Andy Mac!
"First in the Nation - Second in their own city!" LOVE IT!

Peay U - Tennessee Dropped at Home by Austin Peay
Anyone remember that team three weeks ago that played Duke and Memphis will fantastic toughness just three weeks ago in Maui?? Cuanzo Martin has to be asking himself the same question after today's inexplicable home loss to the Governors.
So, perhaps this is one of those "plucky mid-majors" to keep an eye on for March? Um... NO. The win moved Austin Peay to 2-9 on the season. Losses include the juggernauts that are Bowling Green, Lipscomb and Oral Roberts. Don't even get me started on the vile headlines from an Oral/Peay matchup... the game wasn't the only thing a little tough to... nevermind.
