WBB | No pressure
By Matthew Ehalt
Quentin Hillsman called a timeout, a furious stare focused on the player he calls "J." The player, JUCO transfer Juanita Ward, hadn't started her Syracuse women's basketball career as most had expected.

But Wednesday's game against Cornell at 7 p.m. in the Carrier Dome should pose a much greater challenge than what Syracuse experienced in its 86-51 win over Colgate Monday night.
Big East | Despite starting 4 different QBs, Bearcats still take Big East crown
