Jesus Christ, Nate Miles, thanks for nothing pal! The Courant -which I am thinking about never reading again, simply because Jeff Jacobs is a miserable fraud of a person -- does do a good job chronicling the bizarre world of the troubled Southern Idaho shooting guard here, click

Amid the latest cloud surrounding the Husky Program, some business still needs to be taken care of this evening. Although it may look like it now -- through the reports and giddy journalists trying to bury Jim Calhoun, the man is not a cheater. That matter will not be cleared up until this summer it looks like and certainly not any sooner than that. Right now, the Huskies stand two winnable games away from their third ever Final Four. Tonight provides a good test against a very talented Purdue squad. When the ball gets thrown up tonight in Glendale, for 40 minutes its back to basketball. Calhoun has always persevered under duress, tonight we will see if the boys respond the same way. Calhoun likely has these guys believing that it's them against the world. A win tonight and a great match-up will await them on Saturday. A loss and they say good bye to a special class of players, and start thinking about Nate Miles.

A great night cap is on the docket tonight as well, Duke v Villanova at 9:57 from Boston. To similarly built ball clubs square off with a chance to get to the Elite Eight. Coach K is looking to get back to the Final Four for the first time in a while (in Duke terms) and Jay Wright is trying to get his program over the hump, from a consistent Sweet Sixteen club -- to a national player. Its going to be real good.
