this is great and all, but why no stories all week? hostetler and knox would have given us something to read about in this dead week.
Patience is a virtue. I cover more than just basketball and have my hands tied. But rest assured, there's plenty of playoff coverage coming in both the Friday and Saturday editions of the Daily Times.
