There was a HUGE front Sports page story in the USA Today on Wednesday with pictures of Janice Lawrence and the Techsters. Interviews with Barmore and Mulkey all in the article.

Great coverage, although I hate for the record to be broken. It is great being on the road and reading about the Techsters in USA every day. Yes, there was mention of them several times today as well.

As for UConn, they are BARELY making it. One more left to beat the record.
