THIS REGIONAL FINAL OF THE NCAA men's basketball tournament looked like a classic mismatch. The University of Connecticut featured four future NBA first-round draft picks.

...racked up 12 rejections in 2006. For comparison, Daniels has two. But this is not even the most glaring difference between the two players: While Cusworth scores a team-high 17.2 points per game, Daniels is lagging far behind with an average of 3.8. In addition to this frontcourt mismatch, the Crimson has one other thing going for it: freshman Jeremy Lin.

NO. 1 NEW HAMPSHIRE (2-0)This is close to as big of an offensive mismatch as you could possibly find in a game with an Ivy participant. Dartmouth is miserable woeful inept hapless at moving the chains, with only 11 first downs, 170 yards of offense, and zero poised quarterbacks (apologies, Mr. Tom Bennewitz) in the opener. New Hampshire, on the other hand...
...Spanish language immersion program, entered kindergarten that the political activism of her undergraduate days and her business training combined.“I look at the numbers, and I say ‘what is going on here?’” Nolan says referring to the mismatch between the spending per pupil at CPS and its achievement scores. CPS spent an average of $13,363 per regular-education student last fiscal year, about $5,000 more than the national average. According to school officials, those numbers have risen to over $16,000 for this fiscal year...
