The Daily Princetonian, the Columbia Spectator and the Cornell Daily Sun all offer pieces on the weekend's games.

There's a piece on Ian Hummer (with a great photo) in the new Princeton Alumni Weekly.

Do you know what player currently leads the nation in three point percentage?

Princeton recruit Steven Cook was named to the Central Suburban League All-Conference team. Cook's New Trier squad has won 24 games heading into the Illinois state playoffs.

Scoring points was again an issue for Northwestern (13-15), who went down 74-43 at Purdue.

If you need a basketball fix tonight, Mercer hosts Burlington in the Region XIX playoffs. I'll be heading over as soon as my daughter's gymnastics class concludes.
