Tuesday’s thoughts:

***Congratulations to the Sooner women for their win over UCLA and advancing to the Sweet 16. The good news is their Regional Finals are in OKC, a definite home court advantage. The bad news is their next game is against a very good Tennessee team.

***Hopefully the Cowgirls can play as well as the Sooners did last night and earn their berth in the Sweet 16. Talk about having the odds against you, not only is OSU playing the highly ranked and very good Duke team, but the game is at Cameron Indoor Stadium which is Duke’s home court.

***How crazy would Amanda Knox have to be to go back to Italy where authorities want to try her yet again in connection with the 2007 death of her female English roommate? If you are unfamiliar with the case, the death was when all of those involved were in their early 20’s. At one point, Knox and her boyfriend were tried and convicted of murder. She spent four years in prison before she was acquitted on appeal. When she was released she fled Italy and returned home to Seattle, while Italian prosecutors talked about refilling charges against her. This is despite the fact that some guy, (not associated with Knox or her former boyfriend) has been convicted of the murder and is serving a 16-year sentence in an Italian prison. Knox has said she may consider voluntarily returning to seek exoneration at trial. That would be crazy Amanda; the prosecutors don’t have your best interest at heart.
