Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, December 30, 2003

We finally have some conference action going, as the Pac 10 season has gotten underway.

Stanford (without Nicole Powell) beat Oregon 77-51. Azella Perryman had a great game, with 17 points and 11 boards. Without Kraayeveld, it doesn't look like Oregon will be pulling many upsets this year.

Washington, surprisingly, has started 0-2 in conference play. On Saturday, the Huskies lost to Arizona, and yesterday, they lost to ASU.

Giuliana fouled out, and it seems that the refs might have messed up. Washington thought she only had 3, but she picked up another and the refs said she was done. The Huskies suspect that the refs got the sisters mixed up.

"We all had her at three," said a visibly shaken coach Daugherty. "Giuliana doesn't foul like that at the end of a ballgame. She knows exactly what she's doing. They (the officials) told us she had five."
