Note the name of the building behind the team. This is part of the ugly politics of our world. I am fairly far to the left politically, but what the Democratic governor of CT did to a distinguished Republican donor to UConn was just plain wrong. In response, the UConn Trustees rightly honored him and his wife. Here are the final details, which have been unwinding for months in other news outlets: www.middletownpress.com/middletown/article/UConn-to-name-Hall-of-Champions-for-trustee-15087980.php |

I do think that, maybe a little singing practice would not have gone amiss!

Better yet, record the final Oh Canada to give the impression that they sang the whole song and edited all but the triumphant conclusion.

Less singing practice (if that's possible) and more shooting practice. Looking good ladies.

Aislinn Konig had a game-high 23 points as Canada crushed the Dominican Republic 90-53 in quarter-final action at the FIBA AmeriCup women's basketball tournament on Thursday.
Canada is now 5-0 at the event.
With the win, Canada secured one of four spots at World Cup qualifying tournaments, Feb. 6-14, 2022. The top three from each qualifier earn a berth in the World Cup, in Sydney, Australia, Sept. 22-Oct. 1, 2022.
Ranked fourth in the world, the Canadians are playing in their first tournament in 16 months as they tune up for the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.
Canada will play Puerto Rico in the semifinals on Friday. The United States will face Brazil in the other semifinal.
Konig, from Langley, B.C., was 8-for-10 from the field, including 7-of-9 from three-point range.

What I see is a great group of kids, as usual. I still think SC has more overall talent but our first 6 have enormous potential and all appear to be of high character.

They may have more talent, but we have a better coaching staff. So let's call it a draw. Gonna be quite a next four years.

And let's not forget who actually won this year. Stanford is really on a roll, too. You don't need a "top" recruiting class...just the one or two pieces.
