Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, January 30, 2005

Around the Pac-10, Stanford crushed Washington State.

And in a display of hot outside shooting, Oregon demolished USC, 81-59; Bills and Kraayeveld each scored 22. Kraayeveld got her 1,000th point and her 26th career double-double-- all this after a ridiculous few years of injuries, including an ACL tear. She also made four of four from the land of threes.

"We took advantage of being at home," said Ducks coach Bev Smith, whose team improves to 10-1 in Oregon (including Portland): at home, the Ducks beat Stanford but lost to Ohio State. On opponents' courts (as against neutral sites) they're just 2-5.
