I've got presents to wrap, and I'm sure you do too. With that said, here's a quick look around college basketball, for your reading pleasure:

In the Big East, Mike Waters writes that Arinze Onuaku is becoming a force for Syracuse; Mike Anthony writes that UConn is prepared to hit the road for the first time this year; Ray Fittipaldo has a nice feature on Pitt guard Levance Fields; and Rick Bozich writes that Rick Pitino has reason to be worried..

And a couple of national stories: Gary Bedore writes that Kansas players better be ready to work hard during semester break; Dave Dye takes a look back at Michigan State's impressive win over Texas ; and it isn't new, but if you've got an aspiring point guard at home, this New York Times video is worth checking out and also features former MAAC player of the year Jared Jordan.

I'm off to get some lunch then get caught up on wrapping. The space underneath the tree is pretty empty now, so hopefully I can do something about that.

Enjoy the reading and have a Merry Christmas!
