PORTLAND, Ore. | So, if Mississippi State's Phil Turner hadn't arrived with his teammates here last night in advance of Thursday's first-round NCAA Tournament game with Washington, where would he be?
The Army, of course.
Yes, that's one of the things we learned about Turner and included in this morning's profile of him in The Clarion-Ledger.
What else is in today's newspaper?
• Some scene stuff from The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta's blog — and even some scene stuff that takes a few underhanded shots at your trusty Clarion-Ledger! Good times.
• Gov. Rick Cleveland opines about the forthcoming Jarvis Varnado-Jon Brockman matchup.
• In this notebook, the nuts and bolts of State's arrival.
On today's schedule: Mississippi State has an open practice at 2:45 p.m. CT.
