Faris delivers

Kelly Faris, UConn's only incoming freshman, had 11 points and four steals and had a basket to key a 16-3 run to break open a close game at Indiana's Senior All-Stars topped the Junior All-Stars 91-78 Tuesday night. Faris was 4 for 8 from the field and missed her only 3-point attempt to add offensive support to Penn State signee's Alex Bentley's game-high 21 points and 19 points, five rebounds and five assists from Notre Dame incoming freshman Skylar Diggins. The teams will play again on Thursday. It will be the final preparation before Faris and the rest of the Indiana squad faces Kentucky in two games as part of the annual North/South Classic.

Speaking of Indiana basketball, if anybody ever questioned the toughness of former Connecticut Sun guard Katie Douglas, you might want to take a look at the photo of Douglas after she collided with Seattle's Janelle Burse in Tuesday's WNBA game. Douglas figures to have a shiner and must have been in intense pain but that didn't stop her from coming into the game in the fourth quarter to help the Fever ice its first win of the season.
