Year in review

I've never been one for end-of-the-year reviews, so I'll let Mechelle Voepel and Brenda VanLengen discuss it.

David Siegel and Angela Taylor also have a good take on 2011.

For me, the basketball year began wonderfully with an exciting NCAA Final Four. Then Pat Summitt's announcment made the landscape turn bleak. Three weeks later came the devastating killing of New York high school basketball star Tayshana Murphy. Then the WNBA Finals series was thoroughlly enjoyable. Six weeks later, Kurt Budke and Miranda Serna died.

Bring on 2012.
