BURN THE HORSE
The UALR women opened official practice today, a full week before the UALR men get started.Why?
The NCAA has a new rule that allows the women's teams to start practice 40 days before their first game. The catch is that they are allowed to practice only 30 times, the same number as in previous years.
Why would the NCAA do this? Who knows. But some aren't taking advantage of it, including Connecticut Coach Geno Auriemma. Then again, when your team has won a billion consecutive games and is the team to beat again this year, I guess you don't need any extra time.
Most others had at it on Thursday. The men will begin next Friday.
