ESPN Picks BracketBuster Teams: For the second consecutive year, ESPN’s BracketBusters event will feature about 100 teams from non-major conferences. Of the 51 games played Feb. 16 and 17, ESPN will televise 13 games on its family of channels. As mid-major programs like George Mason, Wichita State, Creighton and Hofstra push for national respect, this event becomes more important. Last season, George Mason beat Wichita State in one of the event’s premier match ups. Who knew at the time that it would be a Sweet 16 preview? Every team from the Colonial Athletic Association — home to George Mason — and all Missouri Valley Conference schools — home to Wichita State — will play in this year’s BracketBusters. ESPN will announce the match ups later in the season. [8/23/06]

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
