• Though this may not be as timely as before, the University of Connecticut women's basketball team made history in late December 2010. Not only did the team match UCLA's 88-game winning streak from the legendary coach John Wooden's heyday, but it also went beyond, winning a total of 90 games before Stanford University shot it down. Regardless of whether you think women's basketball is a joke or not, that winning streak is nothing to laugh at.

The last time the University of Richmond men's basketball team hosted the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, on Jan. 20, 2010, the 49ers won 71-59. The Spiders won their Atlantic-10 conference opener with the same score on Wednesday night in front of 4,231 spectators.

The University of Richmond men's basketball team had not beaten Atlantic Coast Conference foe Wake Forest University since Jan. 15, 1990. The Spiders had not scored 90 points or more since defeating Virginia Military Institute Nov. 16, 2009, when they won 103-59. The Spiders accomplished two more statistical feats as the team cruised to its fourth win in five games over a Bowl Championship Series conference school, winning 90-74 at home on Wednesday night.

As a native Richmonder, I have grown up knowing the Richmond vs. VCU basketball rivalry. Though it may not be as nationally well-known as, say, the Tobacco Road rivalry of Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill, this little East vs. West Cary Street throw down is always a crowd-pleaser. The Spiders' Saturday night romp was no exception.

Shells started all 33 games last year, and averaged 16.7 points per game, the most of any Atlantic 10 player. She was selected to the A-10 All Conference first team, and A-10 All Conference defensive team. She scored in double-figures in all but four games last season, and is sixth on Richmond's all-time scoring list with 1,457 points.

• The University of Connecticut women's basketball team, quite arguably the most prolific college basketball team in the past five years (men's or women's), almost got dethroned by the Baylor University Bears on its homecourt. The No. 1 and No. 2 teams battled unusually early in the season, seemingly picking up from last year's NCAA Championship game, which UConn won 70-50, but this time, it was more of a game. UConn held on to win its 80th-straight game, 65-64. The Huskies need just eight more consecutive wins to match the 88-game streak the 1970s the UCLA's men's teams amassed. Our bet is they'll soon match and surpass that feat.

• Kyle Busch was fined $25,000 by NASCAR on Tuesday for an obscene gesture he made during Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway. During the race, Busch was penalized for speeding and was called into the pits to serve a one-lap penalty. While sitting in his car, he held up his middle finger toward the NASCAR official, who was standing in front of his Toyota. The in-car camera caught the gesture, and it was broadcast live before ESPN realized what Busch was doing. NASCAR immediately penalized Busch an additional two laps and ordered crew chief Dave Rogers to get the driver under control. It led to a testy exchange between driver and crew chief, with Busch arguing that NASCAR was denying his right to free speech. Those are two things we've never seen in the same sentence: right to free speech and NASCAR.

Many young athletes dream about playing sports at the college level while still in Little League. Not too many children dream about being a broadcast journalist. But junior guard Rachael Bilney knew she wanted to do both.

• Remember last year when students were complaining that 1,600 seats in the student section of Robins Stadium weren't enough? Well, for this week's game against James Madison University, less than 1,000 student tickets were claimed. Don't be surprised if you see more purple than red in the stands at this week's game. JMU fans may look like Barney, but at least they show up their home games.

Bright sunshine streams into the window of my University Forest Apartment on a fall Friday afternoon. The foliage blankets the trees in gold, orange and crimson. There is a certain crispness in the air: It is not too cold and it is not too hot. Perfect weather to relive elementary school recess games.

• Looks like some Germans wanted to fry up some calamari. Paul the Octopus, the slimy predictor who fascinated soccer fans by correctly predicting the results at this year's World Cup, died Tuesday. He went a perfect 8-for-8 in World Cup picks before retiring to his day job of floating around in a tank. FIFA will need to find a new strange animal to predict the winners of the 2014 World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.

They hit hard and often on the field. They make monster blocks on the glass, slapping the ball and sending it flying in the opposite direction. They check you so hard you see stars. They smack the ball with the bat, propelling it into oblivion. They berate and trash-talk worse than a drunken sailor.

• Rutgers University left tackle Eric LeGrand made a seemingly routine tackle in Rutgers' 23-20 overtime win against Army on Saturday, but he suffered a spinal injury which has left him paralyzed from the neck down. Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said that LeGrand was responsive and aware of the hard road ahead after his emergency surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center Sunday night. Though LeGrand's recovery outlook is unknown at this time, there are two former football players who have endured similar injuries and fully recovered. A hit put on former Penn State cornerback Adam Taliaferro in 2000 caused damage to the C5 part of his spinal cord, and Buffalo Bills tight end Kevin Everett took a devastating hit in 2007 during a special teams play, causing damage to the C3 and C4 parts of his spinal cord. We hope that LeGrand can one day stand with the fully recovered players.
