  Longtime weatherman Jesse Walker relates well to people of Wabash Valley

  The field is down to 16 in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship with most of the top teams still in the field.

• Recent South swimmers Roach, Bray heading to DI nationals

  I’m sure most of you with office jobs can relate.
  When work gets busy, sometimes it’s easy to skim over our emails. After all, how many times do we need to read the same nonsense from alleged Nigerians wanting to make us rich if we’ll send them several thousand dollars first?
  So after having three consecutive days off, that almost happened to me when I returned to work Tuesday. Then I realized that the message from Jeff Thompson, Terre Haute South High School’s boys and girls swimming coach, contained significant news.

• CRAIG PEARSON: ISU women take a step forward in Moren’s third season

  The definition of progress is “development or growth” or “steady improvement.”

  That’s exactly what Teri Moren and her staff accomplished in her third season as Indiana State’s women’s basketball coach.

  It’s gratifying to listen to Moren talk about some of the individual growth, but she also deserved to speak about the progress she has led the program to in her three years.

• TODD GOLDEN: Disrespect shown to MVC by CBS

  I felt sick when I woke up on Sunday.
  I was in St. Louis — Indiana State’s advancement to Saturday’s Missouri Valley Conference Tournament semifinals assured that my hotel stay would last through Sunday.
  My usual M.O. when I’m at Arch Madness until Sunday is to just go ahead and cover the MVC championship game whether ISU is participating or not.

• TODD GOLDEN: Sycamores will have to grow, improve mental toughness

  Indiana State coach Greg Lansing was blunt after the Sycamores’ 64-43 loss to Creighton in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. The beatdown that the Bluejays administered to the Sycamores called for nothing less.

• Jeff Saturday retires as a Colt

  An Indianapolis Colt for life. Pencil in Jeff Saturday for that honor.
  The 14-year veteran center in the NFL put an official stamp on a career Thursday that began in Baltimore in 1998 and ended in Green Bay in 2012. But it was those 13 seasons in between — from 1999 to 2011 in which he played for Indianapolis — when Saturday earned his greatest rewards.

• FROM THE PRESSBOX: Can Sycamores reverse fortunes heading into MVC Tournament?

  Mastery of a basketball season comes in many forms. Mostly, it comes in forms that involve avoidance of turnovers, anemic scoring and poor defense.
  The mechanics of X-and-O success in basketball are obvious, but what’s often overlooked in building a successful campaign is managing the rhythm of the season, which is the hardest thing of all.

• TILL IT'S OVER: Whitley’s determination on display for ISU Senior Day

  Taylor Whitley averaged 12.1 points, 4.7 assists and went on an offensive rampage two years ago in St. Charles, Mo., to earn All-Missouri Valley Conference Tournament accolades.
  A knee injury caused her a major setback as a junior, but Whitley’s senior year seems to have gone just how she would like it to: with her in the background doing the dirty work for a team that ranks among the NCAA’s best in scoring defense. The Sycamores are allowing 53.7 points-per-game, which is the best in the program’s history by a wide margin.
  It’s a team that plays harder consistently for 40 minutes than any I’ve watched in 10 years covering ISU women’s basketball.

• NCAA Division III basketball tournament returns to Rose-Hulman

  The last time Rose-Hulman served as host for the NCAA Division III men’s basketball tournament, its game was played inside an old World War II airplane hangar.
  You “old-timers” should know the building I’m talking about and the matchup wasn’t really that long ago — March 6, 1997, to be exact.

  Taking ownership has always been one of Indiana State men’s basketball coach Greg Lansing’s strengths.
  When ISU has lost games in his three seasons at the helm that it was expected to win, Lansing has always been willing to fall on the sword and take blame for it.

  Here I sit looking at a picture of two adventurous souls standing next to a boat they’re about ready to take on an adventure of a lifetime.
  I’m at awe reading a 41-page diary Rich Cope kept while he and his son adventured out to Anclote Key Island on the west side of Florida. Four-mile-long Anclote Key is the northernmost in a chain of barrier islands that stretch to Cape Romano at the southern end of Collier County.
