- March 22, 2006 - 2006: The year of the road
trip In the most spontaneous yet in a long history of spur-of-the-moment decisions in the name of spectator sports, I caught a flight out to Salt Lake City to see Xavier take on the ‘Stache in Mormonville. While I avoided the temptation of multiple marriages, I did catch some of the sights and sounds of the last U.S. city to host the winter Olympics. And with that in mind, here’s the final installment of the Newswire’s 2006 road trip report series, themed to the greatest winter Olympics movie ever made (or in other words, an excuse to print "Cool Runnings" quotes).Muskies defeat Gamecocks in OT
In the college basketball world, March is a month
where any team can win on any given night, or where any player can
step up to lead their team. Last Friday at Cintas Center, the Xavier
Musketeers had a pair of unlikely heroes. Sophomore forward Candace Bingham scored six
consecutive points in overtime, while freshman Jerri Taylor hit one
big shot after another to lead the Muskies to a 70-65 win over the
Gamecocks of South Carolina in the First Round of the WNIT. |
