Don't forget... the UConn women vs the Stanford Cardinal tonight on ESPN, about 9:30pm ET. After the Louisville vs Oklahoma game which is running now... Go Lady Huskies!

Opening night of baseball now on ESPN2... Atlanta Braves vs Philadelphia Phillies.

Our guys didnt do good at all the second half, The had the ball stolen from them 50% of the time, missed layups, just played like they thought they had already lost...

Exactly... they were the worst-looking team in the Final Four. A real embarrassment... :-(

Yeah! Can you believe it's baseball season again? The Red Sox look pretty good this year so far... should be an interesting season.

Watching the ESPN coverage... I forgot how good the Stanford women's basketball team is... Jayne Appel of Stanford is the one to watch.

Damn, suddenly I'm not feeling so confident about UConn... hope Tina Charles is "on" tonight...

Yes it is — I think that’s Eddie Fogler next to him (with the beard). Roy was the third coach at the time, along with Fogler and Bill Guthridge.

Thanks for this and all the basketball pings this year. All I can say is my alma mater will win the National Championship!

unbelievable about Larry Brown

http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/42375302.html

So even though Brown is a North Carolina Tar Heel through and through, part of him, maybe even all of him, will be cheering for Wright's Villanova Wildcats tomorrow night when they play in the Final Four. Sounds crazy, yes. But that's vintage Brown.

“I admire Roy, but I'm going to be pulling for . . .,” Brown said, his voice trailing off. He couldn't come right out and say it, not about his alma mater, the school that broke his heart several years ago when it hired Roy Williams, not him, to replace Matt Doherty as head coach.

“Nobody bleeds Carolina blue more than me, and no one’s as proud of them as I am, but I don't think there's one bit of difference in how I feel about Villanova.”

Little 5' 7" Renee Montgomery is astounding tonight! She's earned 26 or 28 pts in this game. I'm going to miss her after this season (she's a senior).

Wow, you get the prize for the most distant UConn Husky fan... what time is it in Japan right now?

Brown has a man-crush on Jay Wright.

Congratulations to the Lady Huskies on their 83-64 victory over Stanford last night! I think perhaps last night was the real championship game... Louisville should be a cakewalk for them on Tuesday night.

Hartford Courant article: UConn Women Reach Final

I've said it before... I think the UConn women's basketball team and Coach Geno Auriemma should show the UConn men's team how it's done... ;-)
