UCLA students reject Pauley Pavilion new seating plan

UCLA students overwhelmingly rejected the administration’s plan to move the student section behind one basket when Pauley Pavilion re-opens next year. Only eight percent supported the plan, while 69 percent opposed it, and 23 percent had no preference. PP is being extensively renovated.

Pro:

The Seattle Storm’s games will be broadcast on a new radio station this season, with a stronger signal.

Sheryl Swoopes, whose last WNBA stint was with the Storm, is amped up and ready to go for the Shock.

Extra:

Nice interview with Doris Burke of ESPN. Most interesting statement:

Was it good for women’s basketball to have someone besides UConn and Tennessee win the NCAA title?

It hurt the credibility of the sport to have those two dominating as much as they did. So the fact that Texas A&M and Notre Dame crashed the party and inevitably played for the national championship between them was extraordinary. It was an awful lot of fun.

True, true.
