Empty Feeling

Has there ever been a better example of pictures telling a story than the two photos of the women's and the men's NCAA tournament (Leading Off, March 28)? I was appalled at the empty stands shown in the women's game compared with the men's. These women would make most men look foolish in a game, and no one seems to give them the credit they're due.

Front and Center

As I was reading through Seth Davis's Hoop Thoughts (March 28), I was very confused. Davis suggests that the NCAA "clamp down on the new fad of players lifting their jerseys to show off the name of their school," comparing this to trash-talking and hanging on the rim. I wondered, on the other hand, why players weren't praised for showing off their team's name. I would rather see that than a player's turning around to show me his own name. The accompanying photo shows Bucknell's Charles Lee hoisting his school's name right after the Bison upset the Kansas Jayhawks for the first NCAA tournament victory in the school's 110-year history. Mr. Lee, thanks for letting me know who Bucknell is.
