In Memory of Kay Yow

I know I'm a little late on this post, but I'm doing it anyway. As many of you probably know, the NC State Womens Basketball coach Kay Yow died Saturday after a long battle with cancer. Yow won her 1,000th game against Ole Miss, 66-62. That also was her last game, although she didn't know it yet.

Merry Christmas, LA

The Lakers ended the the Celtics 19 game win streak with a 92-83 win in LA yesterday. Not surprisingly, Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 27 points, but it was Pau Gasol down the stretch that clinched the win. The two teams don't play each other again until February, when the Lakers will travel to Boston.
