Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, March 27, 2003

D2 update (thanks again to Meredy for some links): Cal U of PA dominated the boards and spread their scoring -- 4 players in double figures -- to move past North Florida and into the semis. North Florida's Cinderella run thus came to an end. And good news for the Vulcans: Sara McKinney seems to be back in top form.

Washburn couldn't overcome Norther Kentucky's tough zone d, and lost 65-53. Bridget Flanagan scored 20 for NKU.

Last week Bakersfield upset #1 Seattle Pacific, but yesterday it couldn't get by SDSU. Shannon Schlagel led the Jackrabbits with 26 points. Bakersfield couldn't find the miraculous comeback it needed to extend its season. Tons of Jackrabbit fans were on hand from South Dakota.

Bentley (team of Yankees), which beat Central Arkansas for its 30th straight win, will meet SDSU in the Final Four.

The great fans in St. Joseph have led the owner of the USBL Express to consider getting the team going again.
