Okay. Last post on yesterday's game. Seriously.
S. has a link on her home page to WomensBasketballOnline.com which is a tremendous resource. Each morning they post links to newspaper articles, indexed by school, from periodicals around the country. I find it great for two reasons: It saves me the effort of checking all the Bay Area newspapers for Stanford articles and it allows me to read articles from reporters local to our competition.
I usually skim through the articles while drinking my morning coffee. Today's reading took a bit longer. There were 12 UConn articles and 10 Stanford ones. For Stanford there were the usual suspects. Michelle Smith (from the Chron) had a couple of good articles (1 2). As usual. Ann Killion (from the Merc) had one good read. Scott Ostler (Chron) had one. Darren Sabedra (Merc) had two (1 2) articles that didn't make the roll. And Zach Jones' (Stanford Daily) piece rounded out the local contributions.
Equally fun were the columns that ran in the Kansas City Star* (one from Sam Mellinger of the Star and another from Mechelle Voepel) and the Indianapolis Star (one from Michael Pointer). * KC Star site requires registration - or bugmenot.
And all the articles written by Connecticut sports writers were just icing on the cake.
A very enjoyable morning.
Postscript: I guess I could've gone through and contextualized each link... Nah. Read 'em all. :-)
