The president said the entire country could be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night. The president has given Iran until tomorrow to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or the US Will bomb power plants and bridges. The president also praised the weekend operation that rescued a US Airman whose plane was shot down Friday in a mountainous region of Iran.

An influential group of major state owned oil producers announced yet another boost to oil production over the weekend. Normally increasing production pushes prices down, but this is not a normal oil market.

So instead of hanging on OPEC decisions, oil markets are eyeing the situation in the Strait of Hormuz. Ten ships a day are getting through on average now. The trade intelligence group Kepler reports, still down sharply from more than 100 a day pre war. Camila Domonosky, NPR News.

They have championship DNA. They're conditioned to win. If we think any momentum riding in on a wave is going to take care of UConn, then we're going to be very disappointed.
