Barely still live from Storrs

By Mel Greenberg
And so it's on to the NCAA women's basketball tournament regional finals, specifically in our case, back to Philadelphia in what still promises to be an interesting weekend even though Temple's magical season was ended here Tuesday night by Rutgers.
The Scarlet Knights will be involved with a homecoming of sorts with their Hall of Fame coach C. Vivian Stringer, who first hit the headlines with her Cheyney squad back in the late 1970s.
Ohio State also has some home folks with coach Jim Foster, the former St. Joseph's mentor who has brought the Buckeyes back to respectability. His staff includes Katie Smith, an Olympic gold medalist and member of the WNBA Minnesota Lynx.
He also has his former Hawks feisty point guard Debbie Black, a member of the WNBA runnersup Connecticut Sun.
Texas Tech has another Women's Basketball Hall of Famer in coach Marsha Sharp, who led the Red Raiders to the 1993 NCAA title with one Sheryl Swoopes.
Finally, there's Tennessee with coach Pat Summitt who is now the all-time NCAA coaching leader for men and women with 880 victories.
We'll be back with lots more as soon as we can get out of here in the morning before the snow, you heard me, snow hits the area.
