UConn basketball teams seek top spots
The Associated Press
STORRS, Conn. — Take all the hype about the Huskies and double it.
Connecticut basketball fans are having twice as much fun because the men's and women's teams, each 10-0 and undefeated in the Big East, are both ranked No.2 in this week's Top 25 poll.
That's the highest combined ranking in school history, with the previous high coming during the second week in March, when the men were No. 2 and the women were No. 3. Neither squad has ever been No.1.
"I don't know what it means for the guys," said women's coach Geno Auriemma. "But for us, basketball has always been special at this school. It's something that's come to be expected."
Connecticut also has the highest combined ranking of any school in the Top 25.
The others are North Carolina (both No.4) and Kansas (men No.3, women No.14).
The women will get a direct shot at the top spot when Ten-
nesse comes to town Monday for a nationally televised game.
That game will be the second No. 1 vs. No. 2 game this season. Tennessee beat Stanford 105-69 in December, when Stanford was ranked No. 2.
"We're trying not to think about (the Tennessee game)," said assistant coach Meghan Pattson. "But it's always on your mind ... My palms are sweating right now just talking about it."
The men, meanwhile, will get another chance to prove their depth against Pittsburgh on Wednesday night, when they play the entire game without Donny Marshall.
Marshall was ejected for fighting during the St. John's game.
"Donny's in the middle of everything," said Connecticut men's coach, Jim Calhoun. "And (not having him) certainly changed our rhythm in practice."
If all goes according to Connecticut's plan, both teams could end up undefeated when both the men's and women's teams travel to Kansas Jan. 28 for games against the Jayhawks.

Amateurs seek spots left by striking players
The Associated Press
imposed the salary cap on Dec.23
NEW YORK—With almost no hope for a settlement before the scheduled start of spring training on Feb. 16, baseball players and owners are preparing for replacement ball.
Players almost certainly will continue their boycott against signing contracts until a new labor agreement is reached, Eugene Orza, the union's No. 2 official, said Tuesday after meeting with about 50 agents.
No player has agreed to a major league contract since owners
"The case for continuing the signing boycott get stronger with each consultation." Orza said.
The third agent meeting is scheduled for today in Los Angeles.
Coriato said it has received about three dozen inquiries from ex-major leaguers, minor leaguers, college players and softball players.
"We've had some guys who claimed to be sandlot legends in Brooklyn," said Paul Egins, Colorado Rockies assistant director of player personnel. "We've also gotten calls from
Union head Donald Fehr, speaking in Indianapolis, predicted few minor leaguers will break ranks and report to spring training.
fast-pitch softball players. That's been a really popular one."
"You will see perhaps a vanishingly small number that will go in," he said. "Those that do, I think, will tend to be players who have concluded they have no major league career. They may have the opportunity to play in a major league stadium, but I don't think anybody's going to confuse it with a major league game."
