UConn Rolls, Though Only After Temple Threatens
"Moriah
Jefferson had 25 points, 8 assists and 8 steals to help No. 1
Connecticut beat a stubborn Temple team, 85-60, on Sunday in
Philadelphia for the Huskies’ 61st straight victory.
Breanna
Stewart added 24 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 blocks for the
Huskies (24-0, 13-0 American Athletic Conference), who have won 101
straight games against unranked teams. UConn
has victories in 278 of its past 279 games against opponents outside
the Top 25, the lone blemish coming against St. John’s on Feb. 18, 2012.
For
the most part, those games have been over by the half, with UConn
routing overmatched opponents by nearly 44.7 points a game. Temple would
not go down quietly.
The
Owls (17-8, 11-3) outscrapped the Huskies, diving for nearly every
loose ball, and were not intimidated by a team that had beaten them by
55 points a month ago.
Temple
cut UConn’s lead to 6 points in the third quarter on a layup by Feyonda
Fitzgerald but could get no closer as UConn pulled away."

Opinion
Don’t Privatize Air Traffic Control
The current system is the safest in the world, and there is no credible evidence that a private one would be better.Most of the delays in air traffic happen at overburdened air ports.
A change in administration will not change the physical limitations of runways and destination air space.
