Georgetown basketball coach John Thompson III signed a six-year contract extension Thursday that will keep him with the Hoyas through 2013.
The Hoyas are 72-30 in three years under Thompson, including going 30-7 with a trip to the Final Four last season. It was the team's first berth in the NCAA tournament semifinals since Thompson's father took Georgetown that far in 1985.

Connecticut and Tennessee aren't continuing their rivalry on the court, but a war of words could be brewing.
According to the Hartford Courant, UConn coach Gene Auriemma called out Tennessee coach Pat Summitt on Monday for not giving a valid reason for canceling the series. The Huskies had sent a contract to the Vols to extend the series two more years but were rejected.
"I think she should just come out and say she's not playing us because she hates my guts," Auriemma told the newspaper. "And I think people would buy that. Then everyone [who seeks a reason] would be happy. She should just say that [Geno is] a dope, a smart-ass and then everyone could say that they agree with her."

University of Louisville freshman center Clarence Holloway is recovering in Jewish Hospital after having open heart surgery Saturday morning to repair the wall of his aorta and his aortic valve.
During a routine physical examination on Friday, Holloway was admitted to the hospital after an echocardiogram detected the heart condition.
Holloway is enrolled at Louisville but has not been working out with the Cardinals while he awaits initial eligibility approval from the NCAA Clearinghouse. He will be sidelined for the entire 2007-08 season, but doctors are optimistic he will be able to return to the court in time.
