Obviously theres going to be a lot of things on tape that were going to want to practice and do better and get better at through practice, but we dont have that luxury between now and 3:30.Were going to have to get our guys rest tonight, wake up in the morning and talk about what we need to do and work together as a unit to be better that we were tonight.Tevin Mack paced Texas with 18 points.Northwestern set the tone early by opening the game on an 11-0 run en route to a 34-26 halftime lead.The Wildcats opened the first 3:14 of the second half with a big outburst, going on a 10-1 run for a 44-27 cushion.Northwestern closed out the first half on a 9-0 run to take a 34-26 advantage.

You dig yourself a hole in the first half, against a good team its tough, Colorado coach Tad Boyle said. They made free throws down the stretch when they had to. I knew they (Notre Dame) were a good free-throw shooting team. So its tough to come back on teams like that.

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a long-shot appeal from the Washington Redskins challenging a law that bars offensive trademarks, although the justices could still resolve the same issue in another pending case.The court turned away the teams unusual request to have its case heard before a federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia, weighs in. The Redskins are appealing the governments decision to cancel its trademarks over concerns the nickname disparages Native Americans.Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie said the team would not comment.In a separate case, the justices will decide whether the trademark law violates the First Amendment. That case involves The Slants, an Asian-American rock band that was denied a trademark on the ground that its name disparages Asians.A federal appeals court sided with the band. The Redskins wanted both cases heard together.Both the team and the band argue that it is unconstitutional for the government to reject trademark rights for offenssive speech.ddddddddddddBand member Simon Tam has said he wanted to transform a derisive term about the shape of Asian eyes into a statement of ethnic and cultural pride. The Redskins have similarly claimed their name honors Native Americans, but the team has faced years of legal challenges from Indian groups that say the name is racist.Despite a lot of attention to the nickname and public pressure to change it, Redskins owner Dan Snyder has said he never would agree to a switch.Even without trademark protection, the Redskins can continue using their nickname.
