  Claire is impressive from the foul line(~94%); her routine makes one wonder why everyone isn't similarly effective.

Why isn't Brooklyn Shelton of NYU shooting like that from the foul line-- she knew how to do it once before (hint hint).

I just want to inform readers of this forum that while I will be able to watch UAA basketball games tonight, my ability to watch games on Sunday will depend on whether or not I have power in my apartment at game time Sunday morning and afternoon.

A blizzard warning takes effect for all of Eastern Massachusetts and all of Rhode Island at midnight tonight and is expected to last all day Saturday into early Sunday morning.  Wind gusts of up to 60 mph along with snowfall rates of 2 to 5 inches an hour are expected in my area tomorrow.

Hopefully my power will stay on tomorrow through this blizzard so that I can watch the Sunday games.
