Editor's Note:

You can sense it coming.

The days are getting longer. The weather is getting warmer. The midterms and papers you always have just before Spring Break are due.

Spring!

The NCAA Basketball and Hockey Tournaments. The NBA and the NHL Playoffs will soon begin as well. Opening Day in baseball is April 4, the Red Sox and the Pirates are still in the race, and no one on the Mets has been indicted yet.

And yes, the Harvard spring sports are also ready to kick into gear.

So before you forget that there are other Harvard sports besides hockey, basketball and squash, we in the Sports Cube are going to give everyone a preview of all the Spring teams.

Enjoy.
