Last night also included two early celebrations of Groundhog Day:

1. Notre Dame needed overtime to get past Bowling Green-- again.

This time, Charel Allen sank a jump shot with just a second left. Nine players ended up in double figures, five for ND and four for BGSU, including 20 from skinny, smart guard Kate Achter.

"They showed unbelievable effort" said BGSU's coach Miller, who probably thought this would be a rebuilding year.

2. Maryland had unexpected trouble defeating Middle Tennessee-- again. This time the Terps had excuses: coach Brenda wasn't on the bench, and everybody on the team felt ill.

Toliver, who keyed the win, felt so ill she skipped the press conference afterwards. "She's the best point guard in the country," said MTSU coach Insell.
