CBS Evening News was on hand today at Gampel Pavilion to film a segment for an upcoming show. Geno Auriemma, Tina Charles, Maya Moore and Caroline Doty were interviewed for the piece.
A recruiting source has confirmed that Kiah Stokes, a 6-foot-3 junior post player from Marion, Iowa, has indeed been offered a scholarship by the Huskies. Auriemma went to see her play this week. He will go see Elizabeth Williams, a 6-3 center from Virginia Beach, Va. who is regarded as the top player in the Class of 2011, next week.
Fans can watch free live video of the first and second rounds of the Big East tournament and live audio of the quarterfinals, semifinals and final on BIGEAST.tv. Live stats, live blogs, a new interactive bracket, exclusive interviews and press conferences with players and coaches will also be available.

She should have been arrested and prosecuted for assault and battery. It’s unconscionable for anyone to beat another human being and get away with it simply because it happens in the hockey rink, on a playing field, or on a basketball court. It’s criminal, and vicious assaults with hockey sticks in the NHL, or vicious assaults like Griner’s on a basketball cour, which appears to have broken the other player’s nose, should be treated like the criminal actions they are.
It was the horrific punch by Kermit Washington in the NBA that resulted in brain fluid leaking into the assaulted player’s nasal cavity that precipitated the NBA’s instituting very strict punishments for fighting. Griner’s assault on the Texas Tech player should result in the stiffening of rules in the NCAA.
In no other situation in society would anyone be excused for beating another person; it shouldn’t be excused in sports.
