Defending national champion Florida (28-5)and its "girlie man" jumped out to a quick 11-point lead and was never seriously challenged by the Rebels (20-12), who might have cost themselves a chance to slip into the NCAA field.

Hokey Pokey

Louisiana State head women's basketball coach Pokey Chatman resigned on Wednesday after the university became aware of an alleged inappropriate sexual relationship between Chatman and a former player on Chatman's team, sources told ESPN.com.

Miami Nice

Miami's new coach Randy Shannon has added new rules -- among them, any player caught with a gun is off the team and players must wait two years before moving off-campus, plus maintain a 2.5 grade-point average to stay there. And anyone caught with a gun is not only off the team, but kicked out of school.

Soft Cocks?

Seems as if the old ball coach is the old fooled coach. How many offenses is Steve Spurrier going to let his prized QB recruit Stephen Garcia commit before he is gone? Or is winning every thing?

A judge decided Wednesday to hear all of the misdemeanor charges against South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia at once, and the highly-touted recruit was expected back in court next week.

Garcia, 19, has been arrested twice in the last few weeks in separate incidents. On Tuesday, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said Garcia would not be allowed to participate in spring practice, which begins later this month.

Garcia was arrested Feb. 17 with drunkenness and failure to stop for a police officer. Last Saturday, he turned himself in on charges of malicious injury to personal property.

Arrest warrants said Garcia scratched the car of professor Adam Biggs with a key and caused more than $800 in damage.

Nose Job

Was the Duke-UNC game much ado about a nose? Seems that the UNC players are crying foul while the Dukies are saying it was all about nothing.

North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough was the recipient of an intentional foul called by the refs against Dukes's Gerald Henderson. Hansbrough had a bloody and broken nose as a result of the foul. Henderson was ejected and suspended one game.

The No. 8 Tar Heels manhandled 14th-ranked Duke 86-72 on Sunday and clinched the top seed in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament.

Soy Su Amigo

How badly did Juan Pablo Montoya want to win the Nascar race in Mexico City? Apparently enough to screw his racing teammate,Scott Pruett.

Montoya,the Colombian star who jumped from Formula One to NASCAR late last season, recovered from a bad pit stop to aggressively move from 19th to first, taking the lead when he sent Pruett's car spinning on the 72nd lap.

Pruett was clearly upset."Of all the people to take out - your teammate," Pruett said. "That was just lowdown, nasty, dirty driving."

What Big Feet You Have

ESPN announced this week that Barry Bonds shirt size ballooned from 42″ to 52″, his shoe size grew from 10 1/2 to 13, and his hat size went from a 7 1/4 to 7 1/2.

These “stats” were reportedly taken from Mark Fainaru-Wada’s and Lance Williams’ book,"Game of Shadows." Whether hormones can make bones grow or not, the story certainly makes for interesting comments.

Snow Day Leads To Loss Of Cold Cash

The Los Angeles Lakers fined Lakers player Vladimir Radmanovic $500,000 Thursday -- nearly 10 percent of his $5.2 million season salary -- for violating his contract by snowboarding, which led to a separated shoulder injury.

Radmanovic got hurt on Feb. 17, when he was in Park City, Utah, during the All-Star break. He is expected to miss two months.

He admitted last week that he lied to the Lakers when he said he fell on a patch of ice while walking. He apologized to coach Phil Jackson and general manager Mitch Kupchak. His contract specifically prohibits those kinds of activities during the season.

Will Elvis Get The Tickets?

Jerry Glanville is ready to run another football team. This time, the former NFL coach is taking over at Portland State -- vowing to turn the Vikings into the "hardest hitting football team on the West Coast."

Glanville, former coach of the NFL's Houston Oilers and Atlanta Falcons, has been defensive coordinator at Hawaii for the past two seasons under June Jones.

Outspoken and often dressed in black, he playfully left game tickets for Elvis Presley to pay homage to the late singer.
