  MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Playing together at Creighton, Tanya Warren and Connie Yori saw future coaches in each other.

      Those visions have collided this weekend, with Warren's Northern Iowa team set to face Yori's top-seeded Nebraska squad in the first round of the NCAA women's tournament.

      Warren and Yori will coach against each other for the first time on Sunday night, more than 30 years after they first met as seventh-graders playing on a club team. They're the only players to have their jersey numbers retired in the history of the 
Creighton program.
