COLLEGE BASKETBALL

With the Final Four this weekend, we ran a fun little group of stories based on "Why Team A will win."

So if you want to know why your favorite team out of the four is going to win read these: Ohio State, Georgetown, Florida and UCLA. We also ran a feature on Georgetown's Jeff Green.

• West Virginia did win the NIT last night, so there's no more argument there.

• Bud Withers has an interesting piece about the 3-point shot which includes facts I didn't even know.

• If you are still trying to decide who to root for this weekend, this National Review story might make the taxpayer in you want to support Georgetown. Or not.

• Getting a ticket to the games in Atlanta isn't easy – though I know someone who is going and he didn't ask me – according to this Don Ruiz story in the News Tribune.

• Former Seattle Storm player and current South Carolina assistant coach Michelle Marciniak has thrown here name into the UW coaching search with force, according to Bob Condotta's story in the Times. The story lists all the potential candidates for the head spot, and a couple at the end that may come to UW as assistants. One name listed in the latter category is Karen Deden Westwater, who is coaching at Sentinel High in Missoula.
