UMaine women focuses on better fundamentals
By Meghann Burnett
The light at the end of this tunnel isn’t getting brighter anytime soon. After their worst loss this season and the fourth in as many games, the University of Maine women’s basketball team has gone back to the fundamentals to find answers. “As the girls have heard me say often in the last couple of days, 28 turnovers against any team is not going to get wins,” said head coach Ann McInerney.

‘NBA 2K6′ will delight basketball fans
