Didn't want to start a new topic just for this but anyone using Doug Feinberg's women's tournament notebook (2nd lede) needs to be careful to catch the it's/its issue, the improper punctuation mark in the lead sentence, the there/their item in the UConn section and ... I forget, something else.

"marking the first time a team from the Mid-American conference has advance to the round of 16."

Indecision in the opening section as to whether homecourt (advantage) is one word or hyphenated.

"The Lady Vols' seized leads"
