Hawkeyes women were shut down Monday in the Elite 8, but it was not entirely by Baylor. They had a lot of good shots, and aired it, bricked it, and otherwise looked bad while trying to overachieve, which was the real mistake. It they had played their game and not been so over charged up over the #1 team in the nation, it could have been more of a game, but c'est la vie. They acquitted themselves well, all season.

An incredible young lady.

Rumor mill says that Arkansas is interested in both Minn's Richard Pitino and Iowa's Fran McCaffery.  A private jet from Fayetteville was recently seen in both Iowa City and MSP.

If I were either school I certainly wouldn't get into a bidding war over those guys

I think UW fans would be sad to see Fran gone. Not sure about Pitino. He might have them in a better way.

It might be time for Fran. I think he's grown stale, on his side and the fan side. Seems like it anyway. Ricky loses a lot from this year, I think? Not sure what he has coming back.

many Hawk fans would not be sorry or sad

[Brutus Buckeye]

I don't know much about him beyond his myriad of meltdowns.

I see two knucklehead Big East refs will be amongst the crew of refs working this year's FF.   M. Breeding disgraced himself in the 9 Technical, 3 ejection, 49 foul, 85 FTA game b/t Marq and SH in the Big East Semifinal, probably one of the worst officiated sporting events I have ever seen.   The other joker worked w Breeding in another SH game vs St. Johns which ended badly.

Now that we are down to four, who do you have?  FWIW, I have UVA over MSU.  

Note, this isn't what I want, what I want is MSU over Auburn but I think the actual result will be UVA over MSU.

I have one bracket with a slight chance to win some $$$

but I need the underdogs to win, I had Duke/UNC so no more points available.  I'm currently tied for 1st place.  I would need a high scoring final to break the tie in my favor and that is unlikely if Texas Tech is in the final

rooting for Tech, don't think they can do it

Bob Knight sighting today at Penn st at IU baseball game in Bloomington.   Rare sighting on campus since 2000.

So absolutely loved the National Anthem presentation. 

May have been the best I have ever seen for a sporting event.

[GopherRock]

Loved it too. 

I'd be all over the other Final Four stuff in town if I wasn't moving my stuff.
