I knew there was no 3 point line during her time, but I did not realize they played back then with the men's ball. I coached both guys and girls there is a big difference between the two. However I will say the ladies that played back then it would not have been that big of an issue because they had nothing to compare it too.

Iowa could not have had the game start any better they lead halfway through the first quarter 20-9.

Reds get 1 run back in the bottom of the 4th on a sac fly by Espinal. it is now the top of the 6th.

Mets leading in today's game 3-0 through 3 1/2 innings.

For those of us that see Alabama play several times a year and impressive stat in this game and a testament to UConn is that they allowed Alabama 0 fastbreak points for the game.

The Purdue Boilermakers (34-4) the #1 seed in the Midwest will take on the UConn Huskies (36-3) the #1 seed in the East. This is probably two of the teams a lot of people picked to play for the title. I think UConn is 10+ better than the Boilermakers, but that is why they play the game. I do not like or understand why the game has to wait and tip at 9:20pm. I personally don't understand why this game could not tip at 8:15pm or like 8:40pm at the latest. I'll get off my soapbox now. lol

It is not as bad as Cal's if that is what you are suggesting. Most of his is directed at the officials Cal's is directed at refs, players, etc.

Final. Bama kept it closer than anyone had so far but UConn is just too good. They will take on Purdue on Monday night at 9:20pm for the National Championship.

Ballgame a heck of a play that Hurley drew up during the timeout. UConn leads 80-68 with 1:21 to play. This one is over.
