Happy Thursday, 'Nova Nation! While the students were busy inhaling whiskey to stay warm in their dorms (apparently they've been sent home, much to the dismay of the liquor stores), Mike, Brian and myself were covering Villanova's National Signing Day yesterday. I urge you to check out the batch of gridiron 'Cats.
One day until Seton Hall. Yippee!
Programming note: I will be in Palm Springs from today until next Tuesday. Excuse me if things get weird or if I go missing for long stretches.
And now, the "news."

A conversation with vice president of the NCAA tournament, Dan Gavitt | CBSSports.com
A really creative idea for the national semifinals. They're going to have three broadcasts available: a traditional broadcast on TBS, and on truTV and TNT, they'll broadcast from the perspective of the two teams playing. It'll be a specific bent for Arizona if it's Arizona and Wichita if it's Wichita State. With graphics and commentary that's specific to the teams. That should be exciting for fans to watch.
