Washington Mystics guard Ivory Latta paused when asked for her favorite funny memory of playing for UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell. "When I was in school, the day before we played Duke, we listened to a one particular song in practice. And that song was, 'Let's get physical, physical..." Latta, who played for the Tar Heels from 2003-07, laughed just thinking about it. (ESPN.com)
