Now, does this seem right? A congressional team seemed ready to trounce a team of Georgetown law professors in a charity basketball match Wednesday night at Thurgood Marshall Academy Public Charter High School in Southeast. At halftime, the Hill's Angels were up 28-18 over the Hoya Lawyas. When all of a sudden, whom should the Lawyas bring onto the court but Reggie Love. You know -- the president's close aide/body man ... and a member of the Duke Blue Devils team that won the 2001 NCAA basketball championship.

Well, that turned things around! The Lawyas triumphed (49-42) -- as did the event's beneficiary, Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless, which received $370,000. Reps on the Angels team included Patrick Murphy, Jeff Flake, John Boccieri, Brad Ellsworth, Gene Green, Andre Carson, Michael Arcuri, Frank Kratovil, Mike McIntyre. Rep. Laura Richardson coached.
