  • Geno Vs.Pat.Rtf
    Geno vs. Pat: The Matchup ATLANTA (AP) – Tennessee's Pat Summitt is the stern disciplinarian with an icy glare, yet her players consider her a surrogate mother. Connecticut's Geno Auriemma is the ultimate agitator, a wisecracking needler who enjoys zinging friend and foe alike. Who else would call Summitt's program the "Evil Empire?" Different personalities to be sure, but two intensely competitive coaches with the same goal. Their teams meet Tuesday night to decide the national championship in women's basketball, the latest installment of the sport's hottest rivalry. Tennessee (33-4) has six titles but none since 1998. Connecticut (36-1) has won two of the last three championships and three overall. "Strictly from good theater, you couldn't ask for a better matchup," Auriemma said. That theater extends to the coaching rivalry. Both insist they don't dislike each other. They even chatted for 15 minutes or so Monday when they crossed paths in the Georgia Dome. But friends? Hardly. Summitt invited Villanova coach Harry Perretta and his team – the only one to beat UConn this season – to her house for a cookout before the Mideast Regional in Knoxville. The East Tennessee mountains would turn into flatland before Auriemma secured such an invite. "We're not talking on the phone every week," Summitt said. "As a matter of fact, we don't talk on the phone. But I would just say that you have a great rivalry and certainly a coach that I respect tremendously." Auriemma caused a stir when he needled Perretta, one of his good friends, over his relationship with Summitt, saying the Villanova coach had "dumped me for the Evil Empire." Hey, Auriemma pleaded, lighten up.

Tech traveled to Florence to visit Michelangelo’s David as well as Il Duomo di Firenze and the Ponte Vecchio bridge over the Arno River. While in the Tuscany region, the Hokies toured the Leaning Tower of Pisa, walking to the top of the tower that overlooks the Field of Miracles, the Baptistery of San Giovanni and St. Mary’s Cathedral. In Venice, the Hokies were able to fully explore the famous city and took guided tours of the famed Murano Glassworks and Saint Mark’s Basilica.

  • Mega Conferences
    Non-revenue sports Football, of course, provides the impetus for any conference realignment. In men's basketball, coaches will lose the built-in recruiting tool of playing near home during conference play and then at Madison Square Garden for the Big East Tournament. But what about the rest of the sports? Here's a look at the potential Missouri Pittsburgh Syracuse Nebraska Ohio State Northwestern Minnesota Michigan St. Wisconsin Purdue State Penn Michigan Iowa Indiana Illinois future of the non-revenue sports at Rutgers if it joins the Big Ten: BASEBALL Now: Under longtime head coach Fred Hill Sr., the Scarlet Knights made the Rutgers NCAA Tournament four times last decade. The Big East Conference’s national clout was hurt by the defection of Miami in 2004. The last conference team to make the College World Series was Louisville in 2007. After: Rutgers could emerge as the class of the conference. You find the best baseball either down South or out West. The power conferences are the ACC, Pac-10 and SEC. A Big Ten team has not made the CWS since Michigan in 1984. MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY Now: At the Big East championships in October, Rutgers finished 12th out of 14 teams. Syracuse won the Big East title and finished 14th at nationals. Four other Big East schools made the Top 25. After: The conferences are similar. Wisconsin won the conference title and took seventh at nationals. Two other schools made the Top 25. MEN’S GOLF Now: The Scarlet Knights have made the NCAA Tournament twice since 1983.

Stars Over Jacobson Barn The iconic red clapboarded barn on Horsebarn Hill, a favorite spot for graduation photos, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Farwell Barn, named for its original owners. Even the official register, though, nods to the familiar “other name” Jacobson Barn, for the subsequent owners who sold it to UConn. The listing describes it as “one of a dwindling number of historic resources that recall Mansfield’s long history as a primarily agricultural community.” UConn videographer Angelina Reyes, who captured this shot, says, “I waited for a clear night. No clouds. Just stars. I took one photograph with a 30-second exposure every two seconds over a two-hour period. I then went into Photoshop and stacked each image on top of the other to create star trails.” Watch a time-lapse video of the stars and see historical photos of the barn at s.uconn.edu/barn.
