The Iona Gaels are playing University of Nevade-Reno live on ESPN2 as part of the ESPN Bracket Busters Games.

The game is being broadcast from the Hynes Center at Iona College in New Rochelle.

UPDATE: I went over there to watch the second half live. It was packed. I noticed all the coaches were wearing bow ties and I was like "what is up with the bow ties?" When I got back I saw a tweet from ICGaels which explained the whole bow tie thing. Hint, it's about prostate cancer.

New Rochelle, NY- The College of New Rochelle women's basketball team's dominance in the second half led the Blue Angels to a 70-39 victory over Yeshiva University in the quarterfinals of the HVWAC Championship. The Blue Angels held Yeshiva to 31% from the field and rolled offensively with four players scoring in the double digits.

CNR struggled in the first half as they were outrebounded by 11 and held to 13 of 42 shooting.

The second half was all CNR as Yeshiva had no answer for the full court press and turned the ball over 23 times. CNR was able to take advantage of Yeshiva's mistakes and start the half on a 12-2 run and take control of the game. Yeshiva was never able to recover and lost 70-39.

Managing Editor Robert Cox was in Indianapolis over the weekend to cover Super Bowl XLVI between the New York Giants and New England Patriots for Talk of the Sound. Due to some technical issues it became a lot easier to post via Twitter so below are some tweets along with photos taken along the way.

While at the game I was asked to give a report on the game to Red Eye Radio on WABC 770, a show broadcast nationally on a host of 50,000 watt stations, so I was live on coast to coast radio at about 1 a.m. after the game. A clip from the broadcast is linked below.

The entire weekend was a grueling, draining, exhausting, wonderful experience. My fifth Super Bowl and the best ever. Of course, I said that after Super Bowl XLII when the Giants beat the Patriots in 2008 and Super Bowl XXI when the Giants beats the Broncos for their first Super Bowl victory. Worst Super Bowl? Easy. Ravens beat Giants 35-7 in Super Bowl XXXV.
