Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, February 27, 2005

Boston College had an emotional pregame ceremony as Jessalyn Deveny celebrated her Senior Night on crutches. But as the Boston Globe says, the Eagles didn't want sympathy, they wanted a win.

They got it, and it was a big one over UConn. "We beat them on our court in front of a sellout crowd," said senior Clare Droesch. "I think it's everyone's dream to play a game like this. We just took advantage and played from our heart."

It was a step backward for UConn.

"For us, coaches and players, to be called Big East champions this year would be a travesty," said Geno. "We didn't deserve it. You have to deserve it. We didn't deserve it, not with some of the efforts that we've put out there and not the way we've played."
