Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, January 19, 2004

Connecticut today looked like the team I'm used to seeing. Good passing and lots of easy buckets. Calm and collected, no problem with the press. Solid defense and team rebounding.

Before the game, Taurasi said, "I'm an average player right now, and that doesn't sit well with me, and I'm going to change it." Geno said she needs to be more aggressive.

Today she looked like she should: dominant in every aspect of the game. Running her team's offense and controlling the game herself. Hitting shots from everywhere. And playing excellent defense on top of it all.
