More Marist fever: fans give coach Giorgis cookies and slippers. Cinderella slippers.

Marist officials adapt to new popularity: "The entire world is supporting our place," says one.

Marist's "scout team" had fun impersonating OSU; surprisingly, at a 4,000-student school, the Red Foxes appear not to use male practice players-- "scout team" means the Red Fox reserves (Duff, Kolesar and others) who come off the bench in games, but impersonate opponents in practice. (You can "impersonate" Davenport by standing at the low post all the time-- but how do you impersonate Candace Parker?)

Up the road from Poughkeepsie, in West Point, Army coach Dave Magarity remembers when his team-- that is, the late and much-missed Maggie Dixon's team-- played Tennessee.
