If you follow women’s college hoops, you know what I’m talking about. There aren’t any words to describe how she does what she does. And now the Huskies are playing for a repeat championship. Woo hoo!!! U! C! O! N! N! Uconn! Uconn! Uconn!🙂 ---

If it’s any consolation, you guys knocked the UConn men out of the tourney and tonight’s game came down the buzzer… ---

Well, I kind of have to support the Lady Vols, seeing as how I’m on the Knoxville campus and all. Besides, our orange is just so cool…and everyone just looks grand in it now that we all have our spring break tans. 😉 So, sorry about that, but UConn’s just going to have to lose. ---

I’d like to point out that Duke’s only two losses this year were to Tennessee and UConn. It’s going to be a hell of a 2003-04 season. ---

Congrats, by the way, to UConn’s tremendous season and incredible finale tonight. They certainly deserved to win it all. ---

Wow. Just got back from the game. A lot of fun, my first Final Four. Next year UCONN will be scary good. Not a single senior. Not even a walk on. And they are getting back guard Nicole Wolff who started at the beginning of the season before breaking her foot… Talk about pressure to repeat. ---
