• It's a big day in Indiana, and RibFest is still a few months away. In case you haven't turned your television off ESPN in the past 48 hours, Indiana and North Carolina will host their presidential primaries today. Politics are important, so everyone in those states should make sure to go out and vote, but then come back to the Double-A Zone and discuss whether the Hoosiers or Tar Heels have a richer college basketball tradition. Dean Smith or Bob Knight? It's our primary question of the day.

• If you missed yesterday's Mondays With Myles, click here to take a listen. NCAA President Myles Brand discusses some of the inspirational stories we've heard about in the past couple of weeks.

• Division III guru Pat Coleman made a good point in the comment he left on Friday's java. While discussing my experience coaching against the Indiana School for the Deaf, I neglected to mention that Gallaudet University is an institution for the education of the deaf and hard-of-hearing located in Washington, D.C. We did discuss Gallaudet in this September post, but it's such an important school, we should highlight it again. A member of Division III, the Gallaudet Bison compete in the Capital Athletic Conference.

• The Washington-St. Louis women's volleyball team delivered signed volleyballs to the St. Louis Children's Hospital last week. The defending DIII champs split into two groups and visited more than two dozen patients.

• Since 1997, someone with the last name Dombrowski has played soccer at Wisconsin-Milwaukee. And yes, the Dombrowskis are related - all five are brothers. Beginning with Scott (1997-2000), a brother has been on the UWM roster for the past 11 seasons. Chad (1999-2002), Tighe (2000-03), Neil (2002-05) and Zeke (2004-07) have led the Panthers to a 136-80 record during the 11 years, but next season's team will be Dombrowski-less. There are three more children (two sons) in the family, but the oldest son is in eighth grade and can't play for UWM until 2012.

• Although cycling isn't sponsored by the NCAA, the sport dominates the Lees-McRae campus. One out of 10 students on the Elk, North Carolina campus competes on the cycling team, which is favored to win the Division I collegiate championship this weekend. Despite its small student body (600 students), Lees-McRae competes in the NCAA's Division II. It is believed to be the only NCAA member to be named after two women - Suzanna Lees and Elizabeth McRae.

• High school senior Jack Trotter has committed to play basketball at Stanford, but the 6-foot-9 post player won't be on scholarship next season. A preferred walk-on, Trotter spurned scholarship offers from UC Davis and St. Mary's to head to Stanford, where his brother and sister are students and many family members graduated. An academic standout, Trotter boasts a 4.2 weighted GPA.

• Congratulations to Minnesota basketball coach Tubby Smith, who received an honorary Doctor of Humanities degree at the University of Kentucky commencement on Sunday. Smith's foundation donated more than $2.3 million to programs for underprivileged children in the Lexington area during his 10-year stint at the helm of the Kentucky program.
