Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, June 10, 2004

Indiana was up by 23 points in the first half. Then the wheels came off. The Shock rallied behind Deanna Nolan's 29 and won the game.

Catchings controlled the game in the first half, but hampered by foul trouble, she couldn't do much in the second.

"It's hard to play when you have to kind of watch out to foul, because you don't want to put your team in a situation where you're sitting on the bench," she said. "Some of the fouls I had were bad fouls, too. Fouls where I really shouldn't have been around (the play). But you learn from it and you move forward."

Catch says the team just needs to forget about last night's meltdown and move on. Easier said than done. This kind of game can have a huge emotional effect on a team. Don't be surprised if this is a turning point for the Shock.
