Two great articles in today's NY Times.

One superbly written by Jere Longman about the UConn NC victory ("perseverence" was the operable word), and the other by Harvey Araton paying tribute to Caroline Doty. I hope one of our talented linksters will do what I am unable to do, please.

This quote says it all:

“This was the hardest one, for many reasons,” Dailey said. “This team came together and turned it around. I’m proud of them. Only at UConn can you win 35 games and say you had to turn it around. We’ve created our own monster, but I’d rather that than the alternative.”

Nice article on Caroline. So happy she ended her career holding the trophy.
