Mechelle Voepel

We went March mad for men's college basketball last week. This week, we'll peek into the women's tourney with Mechelle Voepel of the Kansas City Star and figure out if anyone, anywhere, can beat Connecticut. And, yes we'll talk about other teams as well.

Twins

Listen
The Minnesota Twins, once doomed for the contraction abyss, were saved by a court injunction this past off-season. Now, the team's future team rides on what happens this season. They could get a new stadium. They could be sold to an owner that will keep them in Minnesota. Or they could still succumb to contraction. WUSF's Bobbie O'Brien was in Ft. Myers, Florida to measure the mood at what could be the last spring training for the Twins.
