Game day for GU-Akron

No shortage of NCAA coverage, so we’ll get to the GU-related links. Here’s John Blanchette’s look at Akron coach Keith Dambrot , the Cleveland Plain-Dealer’s advance , A.P.’s advance , and a trio of items in the Akron newspaper, including this blog post . (Make sure to check out the separate post on Blanchette’s interview with The Rev. Robert Spitzer.)

The Washington Post wrote about the LeBron James-Akron connection. The Seattle Times visited with Jeremy Pargo and Bud Withers columnized on GU’s recent NCAA failures.  Ex-S-R staffer Dave Boling has this piece on Micah Downs . Finally, here’s a podcast with former Zag Ronny Turiaf.

And here’s Chris Anderson’s photos of GU from Wednesday’s press conferences and practice at the Rose Garden.
