IOWA FIRES LICKLITER AFTER THREE SEASONS -
03/16/2010
Iowa athletic director Gary Barta saw the Hawkeyes rack up loss after loss in an often half-empty arena and decided he'd seen enough. Even though coach Todd Lickliter was at Iowa for only three seasons, Barta felt he couldn't afford to bring him back for a fourth. The Hawkeyes fired Lickliter on Monday, ending a brief and disappointing tenure that included three losing seasons in a row and a parade of players leaving the once-proud program. Barta cited Iowa's slumping record, lagging attendance
and dwindling revenue from ticket sales and contributions.
SEITZER WANTS ROYALS TO HIT LINE DRIVES -
03/16/2010
SURPRISE, Ariz. —Hitting coach Kevin Seitzer wants to rein in the false promise of Arizona. The best way to do that, he believes, is with a net. So this spring, when the Royals take batting practice on their two primary practice fields, they will do so with just such a net hanging down several feet from the front of the backstop. The mesh crowds the batter and serves to knock down balls that arch sharply upward from a swing. And that's the point.
HUSKIES LEAD FIELD OF NCAA HOPEFULS -
03/16/2010
Connecticut's path to another perfect season could include a renewal of the most heated rivalry in women's college basketball. The undefeated Huskies earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA women's basketball tournament Monday night and will open against Southern in Norfolk, Va. Geno Auriemma's Huskies have won an NCAA record 72 straight games, but none of them have come against Pat Summitt's Lady Vols. The two pre-eminent teams in the sport broke off their annual matchup in 2007 in a testy split.

 Baseball in
Wichita
The art of baseball is evident at Wichita State
University’s Eck Stadium. The bronze sculpture, “Put Me in
Coach,” overlooks the stadium entry. Behind it a 70-foot mural, the
longest of its kind at any university ballpark, depicts WSU’s storied
baseball history. The art of baseball has also been evident on Wichita’s
playing fields for well over a century. During and after the Civil War,
baseball quickly spread across the nation. When Wichita was incorporated in
1870, the town and the game were ready for each other, and Wichita had its
first professional nine the following decade. Baseball in Wichita tells the
story of local baseball at all levels—amateur, collegiate and pro—in
words and images dating from the 19th century to the present day.
