A couple weeks have gone by, but we're still not done with just the first round of the NBA play-offs. It really drags on. And for some reason David Stern is talking about extending it to a seven game series next year. Lets hope not.

Last Saturday, April 27 both women's and men's Tennis competed in the Centennial Conference Championships. The two day tournament featured junior Kevin Alford advancing to the men's singles semifinals and a men's doubles team advancing to the finals.

Scanning the Indiana roster, you aren't going to find any future NBA stars. If you want to know what they are going to be doing in five years, it would be best to check their college majors. That's probably why few of them have picked from the customary list of athlete majors (i.e. communications, advanced finger painting, etc.)

March Madness is the greatest sporting event around. I think it would be hard to argue with that. Not only is it more exciting than, lets say, the Superbowl, but its a lot easier to follow, too. A good Superbowl or World Series comes along once every few years. There are upsets and great games year in an year out in the NCAA tournament. Even the casual sports fan can watch any game and appreciate that each team is fighting for their playoff survival. A team can be as heavily favored as it wants to be, but it doesn't matter after tip-off. Every year we see a new Cinderella team who knocks off some heavy favorite. It's no coincidence that the greatest game ever, Duke-Kentucky, was a college basketball game.

The Johns Hopkins Women's Lacrosse team has shown steady improvement in each of their seasons since they became a Division I program. In 1999, their first season in Div. I, they finished with a 10-4 record, but did not qualify for post-season play. The next year they improved to 12-6, which good enough for the post-season. They went on to advance to the ECAC Finals. Last season, Hopkins finished 11-6 and went on to win the ECAC Championship with an 18-12 victory over the University of Pennsylvania.

Women's Lacrosse head coach Janine Tucker is beginning her ninth season with Johns Hopkins. She took over the program in 1993 and has steered the team's smooth transition from Div. III to Div. I. She sports an impressive 101-32 (0.759) record overall, already giving her the second most wins in school history.

Following arguably the best baseball season ever, the NBA is having great difficulty putting out a comparable product. For every aspect that went so right for baseball, basketball is failing miserably.

Johns Hopkins Men's Fencing kicked off their season perfectly by sweeping their first three opponents. They easily defeated Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) opponents Virginia Tech, Yeshiva and St. Johns. These were their first conference matches since capturing the conference title last season.

You're watching the football game on Monday night, and one of the announcer's comments sounds a bit familiar. Like something from a Shakespeare play. Nah, couldn't be, you think. This is football, there's no room for that here. Just like there's supposedly no crying in baseball, there is no Shakespeare in football.

The Johns Hopkins Women's Soccer team improved their record to 7-1-1 after going 2-0 last week. They defeated Salisbury State, 3-2, and on Saturday beat Ursinus, 5-0.

Now that the Dodgers have been completely eliminated (I held out hope until the very end,) its time to talk about this year's playoffs. If Gary Sheffield had played a bit better down the stretch and if Jeff Shaw actually closed out some games, I could be talking about the Dodgers right now. But I digress.

Whenever I think of Barry Bonds breaking McGwire's home run record, it just doesn't seem right. When McGwire and Sosa went on their amazing homer rampage in '98, it was magical. Bonds's chase this year has been lackluster at best.

About 1000 people showed up for a game a couple nights ago. Solid crowd for a Hopkins sporting event, no doubt - but this was for a professional baseball game. This was pretty much a typical Montreal Expos game, where players have trouble distinguishing between practice and game day. Paid attendance was 2,917, but the actual crowd was somewhere closer to 1,000. And this is the second night in a row with that kind of attendance. All season they have averaged a paltry 7,800 fans a game.

This summer, the sport of Lacrosse took a big step towards becoming as popular as its players, coaches, and fans think it deserves to be. People familiar with lacrosse talk about the game's fast pace and constant excitement, and wonder why it is not a more prominent sport in the U.S..

They knew it was going to be a challenging season from the start. The Johns Hopkins Lacrosse team was aware that their squad faced the most difficult schedule in the nation, with games against all the teams that were to reach the Final Four. This was nothing new, as 15 of their last 25 games had come against top ten ranked opponents. All in all, Men's Lax finished the season with an 8-4 record and a 13-9 loss to fifth seeded Notre Dame in the NCAA Quarterfinals.
