-The Irish ladies lost again to the UConn Huskies last night in the Big East's tournament championship, 73-64. They did close it to three or four points with five minutes to play but couldn't get any closer. Dang. Isn't Muffet McGraw tired of losing to Geno Auriemma? Need another Ruth Riley. Remember her? Big part of ND's NCAA championship season in 2001. Beat Purdue in the final. From Wikipedia:

-From the Indiana Basketball Digest, your chance to vote on Saturday's winner at the Loogootee regional. When I cast my vote (all of 29 so far), North Daviess was the winner by a huge margin. Link also provides discussion.
-Time for breakfast on this rainy Wednesday. Think we've had enough of the wet stuff over the last several days. Time for a little warm to get the grass growing.
The highlight of her college career came in the 2001 NCAA tournament. In the championship game, Notre Dame was trailing Purdue, 66-64, when Riley scored the tying field goal. Then, with 5.8 seconds left and the score still tied, Riley drew a foul. She made both free throws to give Notre Dame its final 68-66 edge and its first women's national championship.[4] Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw, when asked about the critical play on which Riley was fouled, said, "it's the same play we've been running all season. It's called: 'Get the ball to Ruth.'"[5] Riley was the Most Outstanding Player of that year's Final Four.

For this World Golf Championship event, the top 21 players in the world have been grouped according to the rankings. No. 1 Martin Kaymer, No. 2 Lee Westwood and No. 3 Luke Donald make up a group. No. 7 Paul Casey, No. 8 Rory McIlroy and No. 9 Steve Stricker are in another.That's cool. Question: Do Tiger and Phil play well enough to stay with the hot McDowell? No predictions on my part. Will be happy if Tiger makes the cut and gets to play on the weekend. Do expect the youngsters to continue to make statements.
