a lead at some point in the game, unlike their male counterparts. The Wildcat men weren't really even competitive in their NCAA tournament loss to Kansas in the Sweet 16.

And the last Philadelphia school standing is... Villanova. The women (17-15, 5-11) won their WNIT opening round game against American on a buzzer-beating rebound-and-putback by Duke transfer Laura Kurz. The Wildcats then went on the road and beat Wisconsin in round two. They're now in the WNIT Sweet Sixteen, and face Colorado in Boulder tomorrow night. Meanwhile, the Villanova men (22-12, 9-9) are the last local team standing in the Big Dance after Temple went down to Michigan State and St. Joe's lost to Oklahoma in their respective first-round matchups. Villanova, on the other hand, upset Clemson in round one, and then whooped up on would-be Cinderellas Siena in the second round. Next up for the Wildcats, a Friday night meeting with top-seeded Kansas. Let's hope Villanova's illogical season continues and the Wildcats turn in a repeat performance of their last meeting with Kansas, in 2005, when they upset the then-#2 Jayhawks by shooting the lights out of the building from behind the arc. Game on.
