   The only comparison I can make is to a Duke-Carolina home game
   match up in Cameron Indoor Stadium.  What a crowd!  What fun!

The Washington Post coverage of the game states that 150 ticket holders
had to have their money refunded because there were no seats left.. Also
that 200 to 300 people were turned away at the door!! You must have
been very lucky to have been let in!!

The UVa player with #34 is Heidi Burge; her twin sister, Heather is
also on the team.. Heidi had 6 points last night while Heather had 24..
The two California girls are one (two?) of the main reasons that UVa
has been so good lately.. They will both return next year!!

It's good to see ACC's Maryland and UVa in the top spots replacing LSU
and Tennessee for the last couple years in women's basketball....
