Tuesday Morning Dump

- As I am sure you are all well aware, the NCAA's new 68 team bracket was unveiled yesterday. We've given you our opinion and we've given you the opinion of our favorite writers, but what about the coaches? Would you be surprised if I told you Seth Greenberg was unhappy with the decision? You shouldn't be. But other than Greenberg, most players and coaches seemed pleased with the decision.

- Austin Rivers, one of the most sought-after players in the country and the son of Celtics coach Doc Rivers, has yet to make a decision on college. The former Florida commit has the Gators, Duke, and UNC on his list, while most believe he is headed to Duke.

- You remember DJ Cooper, right? The lefty, freshman point guard for Ohio U. that was slept on by the major programs? The kid that had 23 points and 8 dimes in the Bobcats upset of Georgetown in the tournament's first round? He looks a bit different in this twitpic, no?


- More Chris Allen chatter -- it looks like he will be coming back to school.

- Gary Parrish sums up the problems with the NCAA's proposed rule to ban early scholarship offers.

- Interesting read on the naming and branding of university's. (Thanks @wildjays)
