Saturday evening Lindsay returns to the Barn. "I'm partial to Williams Arena," her dad says.

Some Gopher fans who remain lukewarm on the Lynx complain that the Target Center's not as much fun as Williams. Did the canny Lynx organization arrange this game to draw in (or shut up) those fans? Nope: the Lynx will play this preseason game at the University of Minnesota because planners expected the Timberwolves to make the playoffs. So good can come from bad.

Amber Jacobs logged many minutes last year as the Lynx's backup point guard. This year she says she feels "stronger and quicker," adding "Can't you see my muscles?" Stanford grad Susan King Borchardt could well make the team as point guard number three.

The Sun will be coming off Thursday's loss in Houston, their first outing since Large Marge reported for work. UConn fans will hope, once again, for a strong showing from Conlon. Penn State fans will scratch their heads.
