interesting question here, could it be that the more a college football team wins, the worse students are in class? that's the conclusion of economists at the university of oregon. they looked at data from 1999 to 2007 and found the more victories on the football field, the worse the grades in the classroom especially when it comes to male students. the hypothesis here, the more a

team wins, the more parties and less study time. pregames are instantly forgettable unless something really bad happens. one of their top players goes down, perhaps for some time. seth curry turns his ankle. as it turns out he was carried out. this has been a chronic problem with him the strained ankles. no word on when he's be out. the rookie to david lee, man did he play tonight lights out. goes in for 30 points tonight at 12 rebounds. speaking of rebounds, he will grab one here and begin a break that monta ellis will put into the hand of dorell wright. golden state was up two points with 27 seconds left.

but the kings marcus thornton with a three. beautiful side pocket, turned out to be a game winner he led the kings with 21. in women's college basketball there's uconn, stanford and tennessee then there's all the rest. two of the three picked the floor at maple tonight. the cardinal cruises big time and luck had nothing to do with it. despite the fact there should have beenheisman trophy winner with the in the stands watching with two of her friend. acumace steals the show. two steals, and a few rebounds along the way too. you see her do some work down under with one of those three rebound. the freshman scores again. number four stanford wins going away against number six tennessee. the night the lights went out. doubters all over the country that's who it went out on. and the season of impressive wins may be the best comes on

national tv. for a variety of reasons, memorable. no one around here has anything to be embarrassed about. the lights went out, big deal. three picks, despite a sprained ankle he would not make excuses. >> i am not going to make excuses. i played a bad game, i turned the ball over, that was on me. it is what it is. they are a good football team, they got after us and they flat out beat us. so i need to be a lot better. >> great game and next up short week for the 49ers. they will face seattle on saturday. we'll carry it right here on ktvu at 1:00. that's the sporting life however. >> it was fun to see how excited andrew luck was to see himself in the big screen.
