U-T Martin (Pat Summitt's alma mater) deserves a do-over against UNC: a flagrant foul that wasn't, the PA announcement that stole a UTM time out with 18 seconds left.

As for Diamond Deshields, ACC freshman of the year, her stat line pales in comparison to Baylor's Nina Davis' vs W Ky.

Then there was Diamond-in-the-rough's pre-game behavior: "As Michigan State decimated Hampton University, freshman guard Diamond DeShields stood with the Hampton marching band, dancing along to the drum line as her teammates cheered her on." Shameful.

NY Times public editor, Margaret Sullivan, has a column up and 40 comments on: "As N.C.A.A. Basketball Dominates Times Sports Section, What About the Women’s Game?" I had e-mailed the sports editor asking where the coverage was. Good to have some response.
