REMEMBERING MAGGIE

No. 21 Texas A&M will host TCU on Wednesday morning to honor the legacy of former Army coach Maggie Dixon, who died of heart arrhythmia in 2006. The Aggies played in the Maggie Dixon Classic twice when it was held at Madison Square Garden and her brother Jaime is the men's coach at TCU.

"It's important to keep it going," Dixon said. "The best teams in the country call us every year to be in it, I've just been a little stubborn wanting to keep it in the Garden. I'm glad that Texas A&M was willing to host it this year."

STRONG EFFORT

Florida State's Shakayla Thomas helped keep the Seminoles unbeaten with a tremendous effort in a win over Iowa on Wednesday. Trailing by 12 points in the fourth quarter, Thomas had 17 of her 31 in the period to help Florida State rally for the 94-93 win.

SHE SAID IT

"It's a measuring stick. ... We're pretty close to where we need to be," Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw after her team's loss to UConn.
