* The World Baseball Classic begins while most people in the US will be sleeping. Feel the excitement of exhibition baseball! Speaking of, Spring Training has already lost its luster (if it had any to begin with). Only about a week old, I’m already tired of its meaningless games. It’s nice that you’re on your way back, baseball, but I’ll see ya after the tournament.
* Some nice games headlining the night, including a few bubble teams like Providence and Penn State.
* The Missouri Valley Conference and Northeast Conference get their parties started. The Atlantic Sun Conference continues with first-round play and the Big South will hold its semifinals.
