We are having some technical difficulties from the Wyndham Hotel right now…and hope to be online at 8pm. We will keep the blog updated.

Well, the first three members of the five-person D3hoops.com contingent in Salem have arrived and our people are up in Springfield today as well.

First note of the day: ESPN’s producer tells me that the Outside the Lines piece that ran last night may run, it its entirety, on tonight’s 6 p.m. SportsCenter. (This is obviously barring some sort of breaking news.) That would be huge.

I checked in at the Jostens Trophy ceremony elsewhere in the Salem Civic Center and they are doing lunch, so I stopped down at the first practice. Wittenberg is on the floor right now.
