Talk about it

CAMDEN N.J. - Led by a freshman coxwain, Jenna Pavelec, the University of Wisconsin varsity lightweight four grabbed the national championship Saturday at the 2011 Intercollegiate Rowing Association finals.

The Badgers finished 12 seconds ahead of Stanford. The team included three freshmen and two sophomores. The varsity eight finished fourth, medaling twice at the national championships.

Since they finished last in NBA scoring last season, the Milwaukee Bucks could use a shooter like Alec Burks. The 6-foot-6 guard from Colorado was in Milwaukee for a pre-draft workout this weekend, along with 6-foot-8 power forward Tristan Thompson and four others. Thompson was Big 12 Freshman of the Year last season, averaging 13 points and almost eight rebounds a game for Texas. Burks is a scorer, averaging more than 20 points per game, also in the Big 12.
