NCAA BASKETBALL
No.21 beats No.3 in Big East tournament
NEW YORK — Jim Calhoun drew up a play in the Connecticut huddle that gave Kemba Walker two options for the final shot. He could either take it himself, or kick it to Jamal Coombs-McDaniel if he was covered.
As soon as Walker put the ball on the floor, Calhoun knew which choice he'd made.
The star point guard used a crossover and shoulder roll to shuck his defender right to the ground, then stepped back and swished the winning basket at the buzzer, lifting the No. 21 Huskies to a 76-74 victory over the third-ranked Panthers in the Big East quarterfinals.
Mascots in a league all their own
MORNING BREW
With the Big 12 Tournament in full swing and the NCAA Tournament looming, it's crunch
time for Big 12 teams. They need their teams to be running on all cylinders — and that includes mascots. Here's a breakdown of how the mascots around the conference stack up:
1. REVEILLE THE DOG
— TEXAS A&M
Downside: Always runs the risk of pooping on the basketball court.
This live dog that represents the Aggies is actually a five-diamond general in the Corp of Cadets - seriously. The best part about Reveille is that anytime she barks in a class at A&M, the class is immediately dismissed.
2. BRUISER THE BEAR BAYLOR
Bruiser earned his spot mostly through a great balance of athleticism and power — and his dancing skills. Plus the alliteration is a bonus.
Downside: A grizzly bear seems extremely out of place in central Texas.
3. HERBIE HUSKER AND LIL'RED — NEBRASKA
Herbie is one of the more boring mascots around, but the inflatable baby Lil' Red makes up for it with his ability to dance by bouncing on his head.
Downside: Generation gap between mascots creates on-field tension.
4. CY THE CYCLONE — IOWA STATE
CBS Spin named Cythe the Cyclone "Most Dominant Mascot on Earth" in 2007. His aerodynamic head makes him probably the most athletic mascot in the conference.
Downside: His dual existence as a bird and a weather pattern creates a lot of confusion as to what kind of being he really is.

5. HOOK'EM THE LONGHORN TEXAS
"Hook 'Em," an intimidating yet soft longhorn, has an upper hand in every mascot fight because of his enormous horns.
right because of his enormous horns Downside: Not nearly as popular as Bevo, the lethargic live longhorn who appears at football games.
6. BIG JAY THE JAYHAWK — KANSAS
The hometown favorite really plays up his goofy side, as his go-to move tends to be falling down.
Downside: As a single father, he often has difficulty keeping track of Baby Jay at sporting events.
7. HORSES BOOMER AND SOONER — OKLAHOMA
These twin horses are relative newcomers on the screen, but they stick to traditional moves like riding in a covered wagon. Downsizes Comforably thought to look
Downside: Commonly thought to look more like pigs than horses.
Downside: Lengthy tail makes him vulnerable, and his face is about as intimidating as a cluster of grapes.
As he was named after President Harry Truman, this tiger clearly has a strong sense of history.
8. TRUMAN THE TIGER — MISSOURI
9. CHIP THE BUFFALO — COLORADO
While not too impressive at first glance, Chip has some accolades, including a place on the 2003 Capitol One All-America Mascot Team (arguably the least important All-America Team in existence). Downside: Doesn't wear pants.
10. RAIDER RED
— TEXAS TECH
Raider Red is a very mysterious mascot but his two fake pistols make him rather intimidating.
Downside: Unruly red beard gives him the appearance of a homeless person.
11. PISTOL PETE THE COWBOY — OKLAHOMA STATE
This cowboy also carries weapons everywhere, and his enormous plastic head gives him a unique advantage in fistfights. Downside: Enormous head also makes him unbelievably creepy.
12. WILLIE THE WILDCAT -- KANSAS STATE
Willie is probably the most mobile of the mascots, as he is simply a large head on a human body.
Downside: Lack of true body makes him an embarrassment to the mascot world.
