Chicago is supposedly a hotbed of basketball talent.
 
How many teams made the NCAA field this year from the State of Illinois?
How many from Tennessee?

Great article yesterday in NYT on Badger hoops. Main point: 11 of the players on the team are from Wisconsin, not a traditional basketball hotbed, and the others have Wisconsin connections. To which I have to ask, again: if Wisconsin can remake itself into a perennial basketball contender from that talent pool, why is it Northwestern is not able to win?> 2. Indiana reportedly keen to make a run at Tennessee's Bruce Pearl. To which I have to ask: why doesn't Northwestern make a run at Pitt's Jamie Dixon?> Fear the purple!> - Alan> > _______________________________________________> nwu-sports site list> nwu-sports at tssi.com> http://romaine.tssi.com/mailman/listinfo/nwu-sports> > Administrative Note: Comcast has been bouncing a lot of list traffic recently.
