Horizon League Notebook by Brian Seymour Don’t underestimate one of the more important races in the Horizon League standings over the season’s final three weeks — the quest for third place. There’s a huge gulf of a difference between finishing in third or fourth place, as the third place team […]

Morning Dish
The Morning Dish – Thursday, February 13th, 2003 by Brian Seymour It’s an all too familar story lately — a member of the college coaching fraternity stricken with a life-threatening illness. Yet it’s not deja vu, it’s real life for Marquette assistant coach Trey Schwab, who is near the top […]
Horizon Notebook
Horizon League Notebook by Brian Seymour Just in case there was any question who the Horizon “big dog” is, Butler let Illinois-Chicago know. The Bulldogs put a 61-47 whooping on UIC Saturday in the biggest game in the conference to date this season. With a win, UIC could have drawn […]

The timing is very fishy, coming after the […]

The Morning Dish – Thursday, January 23rd, 2003 by Brian Seymour When I went to bed Wednesday night, everything was fine and dandy in the land of the Hoopville Top 25, a perfect 8-0 including an exciting win by No. 22 Georgia over Tennessee in overtime. (More on that in […]
Horizon Notebook
Horizon Notebook by Brian Seymour Every season there seems to be one “anointed” mid-major team by the national press, as if the collective consciousness of the average basketball fan can’t handle two or more talented teams from outside the safe haven of the major conferences. This season, Creighton has usurped […]
