MU Media Updates

While we're in the middle of a slow week of media coverage for MU, there are a few links below that you should check out:

    * Brendon Desrochers of SNY gives a team-by-team assessment of the Big East in his latest post. Brendon slots MU in as the #2 team in the league and calls out interior defense as the Golden Eagles' biggest weakness.
    * Brendon's Big East Podcast continues to be must-listen content -- find it here.
    * Todd Rosiak provides his Weekly Golden Eagles Report -- loaded with good information. Todd updates Dan Fitzgerald's progress - "He's shooting the ball in practice in a very limited way," Crean said after the Sacramento State game. "He's not practicing right now. He's getting shots, making sure he's got the form down. But it'll be soon."
    * In the latest ESPN Bracketology, Joe Lunardi has MU as a 3 seed.

BTW, kudos (major kudos) to the MU administration for prioritizing basketball, committing to invest in a big-time program over the long-term, and energizing the fan base. Look, we could be DePaul -- and just a decade ago the programs were largely comparable. Now the Blue Demons program is in danger of falling off the map. After a lackluster 2006-2007, Paul Gleason's team has not been competitive early this season and fans are now talking openly about their desire to eschew the Big East for the greener pastures of those darling mid-majors.

Bravo, MU.
