The end of an era

By
GREENSBORO, N.C. - It couldn't last forever. The amazing season had to end sometime for the BG women's basketball team. A 67-49 loss in the Sweet 16 put an end to a magical season and a few great careers. No one is hanging their heads though, BG is proud.
Familiar effort yields a different result for BG
By
It was not the greatest ending BG fans could have hoped for. Their team got outplayed pretty badly in the Sweet 16. A defensive strategy backfired and an offensive strategy just didn't have the means to keep up. BG fell to Arizona State Saturday 67-49. They were out-shot, out-rebounded and beat to the punch on a lot of plays.

By
SAN ANTONIO - Forget any of those thoughts about Greg Oden becoming a freshman flop in the NCAA tournament. All that foul trouble Oden's been in the last few games? Just a memory. The 7-foot sensation reasserted his dominance when he was needed the most - and Ohio State is going to the Final Four for the first time since 1999.
Woods picked a good time to get back on track
By
MIAMI - Tiger Woods felt stiffness in his neck from a bad night of sleep on his boat. For the first time in 3 1/2 years, he couldn't break par when he had entered yesterday with the lead. And he played so cautiously on the final hole of the CA Championship that the outcome was in doubt for as long as it took a 50-foot par putt to settle a few feet from the cup.
