  • USA Today

    So I'm reading USA Today's coverage of the conference tourneys this week and the "skinny" on the MVC is "although Northern Iowa was the preaseason favorite to win the conference, Creighton comes in on a 10 game win streak." WTF?

        USA Today has gotten better about that sort of stuff recently, but occasionally they still make glaring mistakes. Quite a few years ago in a cover story about Jeff Hornacek, they wrote that he played at Kansas State.

              USA Today is The Enquirer of news papers.
              If computers ruled college basketball the way they do football, we'd have skipped all this March Madness monotony and just waited a month for the Kansas-Kentucky title game. And watched Northern Iowa play Cornell in the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. ~ Dwight Perry The Seattle Times

                At least they can't mispronounce Kwadzo Ahelegbe in the paper. KXnO has a guy who does updates during the game and still can't say his name right. The paper error was probably due to lack of people to actually cover the story since a lot of papers are folding. A bad oversight, regaurdless.

                  Rick Coleman got it wrong again tonight on the news. Do we think he could bother to watch a game (or at least listen to Rima) once this season?

                    I couldn't find the mistake in the online version, maybe they corrected it, they did include some grammar mistakes.

                    The skinny: Arch Madness, as this tournament has be come to known as, faces off a top heavy league (only the top four teams are above .500 in league play) that has been dominated by its top two seeds. Northern Iowa and Creighton both finished 14-4 in-conference play and shared the regular season league title. The two split their two-game series in the regular season. Creighton comes into the tournament on a 10-game winning streak.

                      It was right before the bolded line. Someone must've pointed it out.

                          "Northern Iowa is the fourth different No. 1 seed in four years, and the Bulldogs are on top for the first time in school history after being picked to finish sixth in the preseason poll. It's the type of showing that typifies the wide-open conference, especially at this time of year"

                          just saw this one on usatoday

                            They still print the USA today? Seriously where do you buy it? I think hotels that give it out every morning are the only way they get any business.
