Hays notes that Louisville is having another good year: at the moment they're 19 and 1, with victories over Hartford and Rutgers.

His column promotes this Monday's TV game, against mighty UConn: it's Louisville's next game, but it isn't (contra Hays) UConn's-- that would be Cincinnati, this Saturday (7pm, CPTV).

Hartford's sportswriters seem more interested in Caroline Doty's surgery, which took place, successfully, yesterday.

Said Shea Ralph, now a UConn assistant: "I was there with [Doty] this morning. I made her a care package, gave her a hug. There's really nothing to say, at this point. We just talked a lot about what a great shooter she's going to be when she comes back."
