February 11

It may not have the drama of Red Sox−Yankees, nor will it boast the prestige of Celtics−Lakers.

Women's Basketball | Women's basketball to take on Amherst in clash of top-10 teams

February 5

Most matchups between two of the top 10 women's basketball teams in the country are exciting in and of themselves.
