For Star subscribers: Greg Hansne on what made Houston so tough on Thursday, why Adia Barnes is against neutral-site NCAA Tournament games, and how Adidas' new Name, Image and Likeness plan is the height of hypocrisy.
Greg Hansen The Star's longtime columnist on what made Houston so tough in Thursday's Sweet 16 game, why Adia Barnes is against neutral-site NCAA Tournament games, and how Adidas' new Name, Image and Likeness plan is the height of hypocrisy.
Last week, Sampson used two words —"get old" — to describe his remarkable five-year run at Houston and it had nothing to do with his age. It had to do with assembling teams led by juniors and seniors. The Cougar team that beat Arizona last week started three grad transfers and one junior and averaged 2.25 years of experience.
At the Sweet 16 last week in San Antonio, Sampson talked about the difficulty that comes with recruiting elite players. At the same time, the NCAA announced that 216,890 attended first weekend games, a record for the women’s tournament. It led some, including Oregon coach Kelly Graves, whose team was bypassed as a host school, to advocate for an all-neutral site tournament."I think that's a terrible idea for our game. I don't agree with that at all," she said after Monday’s loss to the Tar Heels."I think on the list of 100 things to change, to me, that's 100.
I’m on the record predicting the NCAA will move to an all-neutral court women’s basketball tournament about 2025. Either way, it seems inevitable the issue will be brought up again. Ex-Badger John Felix dies at 68Sad to hear that John Felix, starting outfielder for Tucson High’s historic 25-0 state championship baseball team of 1972, died last week. He was 68. Felix’s sixth-inning, run-scoring single in the ’72 state title game against Scottsdale Coronado tied the game, allowing the Badgers a chance to win in nine innings. That ’72 team, coached by Ray Adkins, included Ron Hassey, Mike Odum, Al Lopez and Frank Castro, four of the top names in Tucson prep baseball history.
