In surprising fashion, the Tennessee Lady Vols won their eighth national title and second in a row Tuesday evening.
 
Congrats to them, and since you were likely watching while I was working on highway closures and election results, you know how it happened more than I do.

A college profile not of Candace Parker

Although most have been good ones, it’s nice to see some other ladies get their run.
Candice Wiggins, Stanford’s stellar shooting guard, had a great profile in the Los Angeles Times.
Ask about her most memorable moment from the Tennessee game and Wiggins doesn’t bring up the game-tying free throws she converted with 1:32 remaining in regulation, […]
