...banging on the door is upstart Cornell, only a half game behind after slipping by Princeton 58-57 last Friday, then edging Pennsylvania, 69-66 on Saturday. Cornell (5-1, 10-7) was led by the clutch play of junior Kim Ruck, who sank two free throws with seven seconds left to steal the win from Princeton, then added a career-best 30 points against Pennsylvania.

Manuel Valdez, 43, and his wife Susie, 37, were close to losing Susie's Fish & Grill, which the couple sank their life savings into only five months before. Manuel, who had stopped by the cotton gin (owned by the Terrys, of course) for a cup of coffee and joined the lottery pool on a lark, says they could not have held out much longer.
