UConn beats Georgia Tech, beneficiaries of the Annual Poke Choke, by a score of 82-73 tonight in San Antonio.

In Journalism, the Los Angeles Times wins five, the Wall Street Journal wins two, and one each to the Toledo Blade, the Washington Post, the Miami Herald, the White Plains NY Journal News, and the Dallas Morning News.

The Weekly Standard, Frontpage, and Instapundit's complaints about how all the Bush scandals are just too complicated to bother with, all scandalously ignored.

Update: Anthony Shadid won for The Washington Post for his International Reporting from Iraq. Josh Marshall says it's "truly well-deserved." It turns out Shadid is an Oklahoma native. Shame he had to leave the state to write for a real newspaper.
