Besides Kentucky, there's another undefeated team in college basketball this season, and President Barack Obama was on hand to watch it play Saturday.
President Obama and his daughter Malia were in attendance to watch his niece Leslie Robinson, a backup forward for the Princeton Tigers. The Tigers improved to 31-0 on the season with a 80-70 victory over Green Bay in the first round of the NCAA Women's Tournament at Xfinity Center on the University of Maryland's campus.
Robinson is a daughter of former Oregon State coach Craig Robinson, Michelle Obama's brother. The first lady spent time in Japan this week and was not in attendance.
According to ESPN.com, the president arrived at his seat "with about five minutes remaining in warm-ups" and sat "several rows up from the floor" behind the Princeton bench.
Robinson, a 6-foot forward from Corvallis, Ore., did not see any action in the game. For the season, Robinson has played in 26 games and averaged 9.4 minutes per contest. She averages 3.0 points and 2.5 rebounds per game while shooting 37.9 percent from the field.
Panic move
LeSean McCoy is apparently a little bitter about his former team and Coach Chip Kelly. The star running back took a shot at his former team -- the Philadelphia Eagles -- while making an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show.
"I saw that they originally were trying to get Frank Gore and he backed out," McCoy said. "So then when they got DeMarco [Murray] and they got Ryan Mathews, I thought it was a panic move."
Panic? Really? Murray rushed for 1,845 yards last season and Mathews is a five-year veteran with two 1,000-yard seasons under his belt.
McCoy, however, didn't back down.
"I didn't understand it. I should say that," McCoy said. "And Chip I think is a really good coach. I think this is something different for him kind of managing both, from being a coach to now kind of managing the team as far as the players that they get and they pay."
Where's Toto?
The Jackson (Tenn.) Generals are planning a Wizard of Oz theme night and have created a jersey just of the occasion.
The uniforms feature Dorothy's blue and white dress with ruby red accents. The kicker? Dorothy's signature pigtails are superimposed on the front of the shirts.
The players will not be required to wear ruby red slippers and chant "there's no place like home ... plate."
Wizard of Oz Night is set for May 15.
Out of action
The Oklahoma Thunder announced Kevin Durant has been "removed from basketball activities."
"Does that mean they traded him to the Knicks?" wrote Janice Hough of leftcoastsportsbabe.com.
