Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, January 30, 2005

Around the Big XII, no upsets: Texas canned an ailing Mizzou by shooting over their zone.

In another display of hot outside shooting K-State handled Colorado 81-70 behind Claire Croggins' unexpected firepower (9-18, 5-8 from downtown).

In another display of hot outside shooting, Iowa State-- whom K-State flattened a couple of days back-- beat Oklahoma 73-60. The Cyclones made 13 of 27 three-balls.

And in a display of what-goes-around-comes-around, Baylor got past Oklahoma State 67-65 on two free throws with 0:00.9 left in the game. "Just let us play the game," said Nina Stone, who led the Cowgirls' scoring, rightly proud of the Big XII basement-dwellers' late-game comeback; "Who calls a foul with point nine seconds left?" "Try 0.2 seconds," Coach Mulkey-Robertson did not actually reply.
