VOLLEYBALL
Valparaiso volleyball star Taylor Root has started collecting awards outside the Horizon League. To hear from Taylor check out Jaclyn Bevis' interview with her on her People's Choice win last week.
HAMBURGERS
Wright State's Chris Meingast must really like Five Guys.
MEN'S BASKETBALL
This link is a little older but it's an excellent read on Milwaukee's men's basketball team and their trip to Italy.
One of the big stories in college basketball this past week was the turmoil down at Tennessee. Coach Pearl and former UIC coach Jimmy Collins have a checkered past and coach Collins didn't mince words when given the opportunity to speak on the matter.
Staying with the men's basketball coach theme, Rush The Court interviewed Brad Stevens. For all of Butler's success Stevens' is still very proud of how the Bulldogs played in league. From that chat:
"I think from a results standpoint the thing that stood out to me, the thing I thought was the best accomplishment of the year was going undefeated in the league."
Lots of Butler talk on ESPN as well.
NATIONAL RANKINGS
Butler's men's cross country team is now ranked 26th the most recent top 30 poll.
Not to be outdone, Butler's men's soccer team is also in several top 25 polls.
MISCELLANEOUS
Detroit has hired a new Sports Information Director.
A little fun/pain from Milwaukee. Up on the UWM Blog is video of the women's basketball team 'running the hill'.
