Lions get new radio voice, Oakland U., Pistons, Davis & MSU
My schedule is starting to settle down a bit, so here’s some more updates…
Lions cut radio team, hire Miller - Longtime duo Champion and Brandstatter released - Freep article by Curt Sylvester
No one knows the reasons for sure yet, but I know I am going to miss Mark Champion and Jim Brandstatter. They called a great game and really loved the Lions. Good luck to both. Their replacement Dan Miller is mostly known for his play-by-play on Fox Regional coverage.

Living a dream - Freep article by Mark Snyder
A nice article on Oakland University head coach Greg Kampe. It talks about his career and his team’s recent struggles and how they make their first ever NCAA Tourney.

Oakland’s victory is the essence of college basketball in a wild March - Detroit News article by Bob Wojnowski
A team like Oakland really does add to March Madness. It’s easy to see why it’s one of the best sports moments every year. The Golden Grizzlies might have to play in the “play-in game” but they still make the tournament. It’s March Madness, anything can happen.

Pistons pacify Warriors - Freep article by Helene St. James
Antonio McDyess and Tayshaun Prince led the way with 20 points each. It was a difficult game to watch, as I found myself not able to pay attention. It wasn’t a great game, but it was important to stop the losing streak.

MSU’s Davis staying - Freep article by Vince Ellis
Paul Davis isn’t ready for the NBA, and I am glad he has noticed. Next year he will be the man at MSU. and that will help ready him for the next level. With a solid nucleus of Davis, Shannon Brown, and Maurice Ager, the Spartans will be a title contender. This is the best for Davis and for MSU, which has been getting burned by early defections in the last few seasons.

Look out! Illinois, MSU big targets - Freep article by Nicholas J. Cotsonika
I for one am hoping for an Illinois, MSU rematch in the Big Ten Tourney final, but both will have their hands full in getting there. Indiana, Minnesota and Iowa, all know they have to win at least one game to secure a berth in the Big Dance, and will be playing extra hard to make that happen.
