Today's the Day! Tonight, 7 PM, at Comcast, the Terps open the regular season vs Princeton. This game also marks the kick off of the Women's National Invitation Tournament. The Sun's Milton Kent has a nice feature about the Terps' New Wave and the Examiner's Ron Snyder has an interesting story about the Golden Girls. Meanwhile, the Washington Post does its annual "Women's Preview" (pdf) -- a single page (much of which is taken up with a large picture of Candace Parker) -- after spending four days previewing the "Men." Could they spare it?
Speaking of the Media . . . if you missed any of these articles and preseason accolades, now's the time to catch up: (There will be a quiz.)

Thanks Basketcases - you have me sufficiently hyped for the start of the Terps championship season!! And as usual, our hometown newspaper, the Washington "com post" is often so disrespectful of female athletes - it makes me crazy! And I make it a point to complain and to compliment when they get it! Have a great time tonight!
what is the significance of #42? When I see #42 on a sports blog/site I think Jackie Robinson... thanks BCs.
42 . . . if they advance to the finals of the WNIT and the finals of the ACC Tournament, and then the finals of the NCAAs, the National Championship game would be the Terps' 42d game of the season (which includes the exhibition game against Team USA).
We hope they get to play all 42 games. That would be a lot of great basketball!!
