UConn incoming freshman Kelly Faris had nine points (hitting 4 of 7 shots including 1 of 2 from 3-point range) as the Indiana senior all-stars defeated the junior all-stars 118-63. It was the final tuneup before the Indiana team faces Kentucky in the annual North/South Classic. The first game is Saturday at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, the second is at Bellarmine University in Louisville on Sunday.

Speaking of Faris, her chance to making the U.S. team competing in the FIBA Under-19 World Championships appears to have improved with the news that Stanford sophomore to be Sarah Boothe will not be attending next month's training camp because she is undergoing foot surgery. If no replacement is named by USA Basketball, that means only one player instead of two will needed to be cut from the original list of 14 before the team leaves for Bangkok, Thailand.
