...about because Harvard outplayed Stanford, plain and simple? Maybe, Harvard came out victorious because it had an All-American named Allison Feaster who managed to score 35 points, pull down 13 rebounds, nab a few steals and dazzle a national television audience. Feaster's performance even had Rebecca Lobo and the rest of the ESPN studio anchors wondering why she did not receive higher All-America honors...
...Auriemma's arrangement hurt women's college basketball, or was it just a moving gesture from coach to player? Many of us have accepted the view of Rebecca Lobo, former UConn co-captain and Olympian, that the record was an in-house arrangement to which the team's family of players, coaches, fans and the previous record holder had all supported, and that therefore no one else should be concerned.

And there's Lisa Leslie, the Wilhelmina model who plays...
...want to take anything away from the guys," says forward Katrina McClain. "I love to watch them play myself. But we've been together a lot longer. We're more of a team than they are." So much of a team that their most famous member, Rebecca Lobo, didn't see much playing time, as coach Tara VanDerveer sacrificed a little star power for more speed on the court. "The joy of the party is just being with each other," says Teresa Edwards, 32, the veteran guard who was playing in her fourth Olympics. "It's a family atmosphere...
