14. I see you're still reading the New York Times, wire chief. The Knicks have been so lousy that the reporter who normally covers them has been given the assignment of going around the country to write about exciting basketball programs. It's a clever way for the Times to make fun of the boring pro team at MSG. Maybe the reporter will include Storrs in his journey and write about our favorite women's team.

Anyway, to answer your question: several days ago the reporter had an article about the Lady Hornets of Emporia State in Kansas.
