Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, January 31, 2005

Yesterday's game between Houston and TCU was billed as a big one. It was expected to be a classic matchup between Sandora Irvin and Sancho Lyttle, two of the country's best bigs, two of the nation's top player of the year candidates, and two of the WNBA's best prospects.

The matchup, however, fell far short of expectations, as both players struggled with foul trouble and opposing defense. Irvin had 13 and 12 on 6-for-14 shooting; Lyttle had 9 and 9 on 3-for-9.

TCU won, ending a three-game drought against the Cougars.

Irvin had 5 blocks, leaving her just 3 shy of the all-time NCAA Div. I record currently held by CS Fullerton's Genia Miller.
