Virginia will hold a press conference on Monday at noon to announce the hire.

If you're planning on attending Saturday's 11:00 AM WNIT Championship Game, you can purchase 6 dollar tickets online. Go HERE and enter the code WNIT to buy them and save a few bucks off! Also, if you are a student, arrive early because the first 200 students get in free! Since the entire stadium is general admission, I'll be arriving early and staking out some good seats for a CGB section. If you're interested in meeting your fellow internet nerds, look for a sign and/or banner with CGB or the CGB logo. If you plan on finding us, please leave a comment so I have an idea of how many seats I should save!

Two things: 1) "The Golden Bears (25-6, 15-3 in the Pac-10), who earned an at-large bid, will play WAC Champion Fresno State in the first round of the tournament in Los Angeles (Galen Center) on Saturday. The game can be heard on KALX Radio (90.7-FM) in the Bay Area. Update: The game is scheduled for 8 PM EST, 5 PM PST, and should be broadcast regionally on ESPN2. I'll try and find distribution maps for both men and women. The Cal-Fresno State winner will play the winner of the first-round game between fifth-seeded Virginia (23-9) and 12th-seeded Maris (29-3) at the same location. The four teams are playing for the right to advance to the Trenton Regional." You can click on the link above to find out more info from the official press release. 2) Also, for those of you starved for football, we did an interview with Buffalo Rumblings about Alex Mack's draft prospects. You can click here to see many a Bills fan enamored with the thought of drafting Mack, even though their current draft situation might make it difficult for them to do so.

Before the March 5th ASU vs. Cal Women's BBall game, Sandy Barbour along with former HP VP Onagh Ash will be giving a presentation on leading organizations, followed by general schmoozing 'n such. The event is at Haas at 6 and is free to everyone with a ticket to the game. So, if you've been waiting to go to a women's basketball game, next Thursday would be a great time to do so. The event is sponsored by Women's BBall and Girls For a Change, a really cool organization that mentors girls.
