Just 29 days until pitchers and catchers report...
Morning Update: This week's local hoops Top 10
1. Virginia Tech (13-4, 3-0) - You beat Carolina and Duke in the same week, you get to be the new local #1. Plus, Deron Washington's hair is awesome.
2. Maryland (15-3, 1-2) - Look miserable against Miami, be the first team to beat Clemson this year. I'll say one thing about Gary's team - it's consistently inconsistent.
3. Georgetown (11-5, 1-2) - Not a good week for Hoya nation. The home loss to Villanova was a real killer. Someone tell Jeff Green it's OK to show up for two games in a row.
4. Virginia Commonwealth (14-3, 6-0) - Honestly, VCU should probably be ahead of Georgetown, but I guess I have some sort of "mid-major" bias. Just don't tell Jay Bilas.
5. George Washington (11-4, 2-1) - Man, the A-10 is a joke...but at least GW always has several candidates for the all-name team.
6. Virginia (9-6, 1-2) - Let the freefall in Charlottesville begin.
7. Old Dominion (12-5, 5-1) - CAA owns this poll. VCU, ODU, William and Mary and George Mason all staying in the Top 10 this week. And ODU happens to have as many Big East wins as Georgetown.
8. Loyola (Md.) (9-7, 5-1) - Gotta be the surprise of the MAAC, right? Guard Gerald Brown is 11th nationally in scoring at 23.4 ppg.
9. William and Mary (10-6, 3-3) - Barely hanging on to their spot in the Top 10 after reverting to the Tribe of old this week. But you're nuts if you think I'm dropping my alma mater off this list.
10. George Mason (9-7, 3-3) - Winners of three in a row, Mason looks to finish the CAA schedule strong and make some noise in Richmond.

Doc Rivers, prepping for his next career:
Give Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers credit for a witty observation of life in the NBA's wretched Atlantic Division: "If you have three or four days off, you probably move up to first place. The key in our division is not playing right now."
I hope this person found what they were looking for:
"uglier than a.c. green"
Former UF assistant Anthony Grant is doing a nice job up at VCU. He's also got a pretty good recruiting class coming in next year with some underrated Florida kids. Wouldn't be surprising to see him use that job as a stepping stone similar to what Capel did.
The reason why it's been 70 degrees lately...
your nuts? c'mon, teejay - how many times do we have to remind you that you have an obligation to represent the tribe?
That's why they're still on the list numnuts...
"I am EL NINO..."
Robert, grammar has been corrected...
you're the man
For God's sake, take the Tribe off this stupid list...they've dropped 3 straight since first appearing. The Gheorghe curse has been established, and must be broken immediately...
You might be sick of the slurpfest, but it might end up being the best game in the playoffs!
Can we get some more of them TJ playoff picks? I could use a chuckle.
Here...
Chicago (-1) vs. New Orleans
God wants them to win. And maybe Spike Lee too. Saints.
Indy (-3) vs. New England
I'd like to see Manning win this game. Which of course means he won't. Patriots.
Bruce Chen Update:
Bruce is pitching some winter ball, currently 5-0 with a 0.72 ERA for Caguas in Puerto Rico, allowing 19 hits in 50 innings.
