RIP, Big George. A mean SOB early in his career, sorta became a grandfatherly type during his second act -- albeit a grandfather with a helluva punch.

Sorry to jump the gun on @Class of '66 Old Fart, but saw that the game time and TV were announced and wanted to remind everyone that our women are dancin' -- even if the men are not. Birmingham No. 1 Region: No. 9 IU (19-12, 10-8 B1G) vs. No. 8 Utah (22-8, 13-5 Big 12) in Columbia, S.C. Let's roll!

Sorry, dude -- just thought it was kinda humorous. Plus, Sampson at one time coached at IU.

No surprise -- Odom to UVA.

Niko Medved delaying the start of his tenure in Minneapolis by a couple more days!

Syd needs to thank her teammates. A couple of those five fouls were really stupid. Some nice minutes from Lilly this afternoon. Well-done, ladies.

Final IU 76, UTAH 68 20 wins!

You're down by 8 points with 4 seconds left. What's the point of taking a timeout?

Announcer: "Winner gets either Tennessee Tech or South Carolina." Gee -- wonder who it'll be???

That'll do it. SURVIVE AND ADVANCE!!!

Coupla Garzon FTs oughta put this one in the W column.

Should be able to put this one away now.

Man, we did a great job of blocking out on one of those Utah misses -- much better than the men -- but then you have to GO GET THE BALL!

Cannot let them have open 3s

Sheesh -- that was just a dumb foul, Syd. She's gone. Her teammates will need to pick her up to extend her career.

I feel like we're playing not to lose. Need to stick with our game.

Utah gal trying to get a little too fancy w/ her dribbling and CMM takes it right away. Love it.

Syd -- great steal, but you can call timeout. Huge swing right there. Maybe CTM needs a timeout to calm the troops.

Protect the ball. We're getting into crunch time. Cannot have sloppy passes.

I'm not sure CMM touched her. If so, not much more than a uniform thread. Regardless -- can't give up 4-point plays.

Lexi -- you gotta make that. Oy-vey.

Nice third quarter! Up 58-47 after 30 minutes. Play a solid final 10 mintues and we live to play another day.

CMM sweet pass to Cieski. Cigs may look at her as a backup QB!

And after 20 minutes, we're all even 31-31
