Just got back from the ER -- may have torn my MCL playing hoops yesterday in the park. I guess I should stick to watching the game on tv...

In the East: UConn won easily. Taurasi had 21 points and seven assists, even though she barely played half the game (resting her ankle and back, no doubt). D said it was a statement game to themselves, to show how they'd respond to the loss. After the game, Geno apologized to Amanda Alnutt for the incident after the 'Nova game. "I'm still going to be a schmuck sometimes, but don't change on account of me," said Geno. Like him or hate him, you must give him props for the classy public apology. In a boring and ugly game, TCU beat MSU; on TV, it looked like only a few hundred fans stayed around for that game. The Horned Frogs (is that really their mascot?) will play UConn in front of a bigger crowd tomorrow.

On Saturday, BC's Amber Jacobs made a last second jumper to beat ODU by a point. Vandy had a lackluster game but beat Liberty anyway. Vandy has a history of poor performance against the Big East; it hopes to do better against BC.

Alicia Ratay took over the game in the second half to lead Notre Dame to victory. Arizona played its worst game of the season; the two-week break may have hurt the the Wildcats' rhythm. The other Wildcats (K State) beat Harvard in front of a big hometown crowd. Harvard Coach Delaney-Smith was very proud of the Crimson's effort.

On Saturday, Valpo opened up an early lead, but then Purdue woke up and won. Sonja Mallory's last-second shot in the lane gave Va Tech a win over Georgia Tech.
