Where she grew up in Tucum'n, a province in northern Argentina, not many girls followed the sport.

The 6-foot-4 senior had career highs of 36 points and nine made 3s, and the Jayhawks needed every bit of it to hold off the Wolfpack 77-76 in overtime " particularly with freshman star Darryn Peterson exiting late in regulation with lingering hamstring trouble.

The record is a bit misleading, however, as all ... Well, at least the TangCats took care of business on Monday. And yet, despite beating literally the worst team in NCAA Division 1 108-49, it wasn't even all that impressive. The Wildcats were even later mocked by said team, and it's not the first time this season that the TangCats have been on the receiving end of public derision from an opponent.

1+ day, 9+ hour ago (450+ words) Many in the NFL community are surprised by the Kansas City Chiefs' recent struggles.
