Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, February 21, 2005

Still making their tournament case, UVA upset Maryland in Charlottesville, 63-61.

The home team's LaTonya Blue scored 29, but the real story seems to have been late-game defense: the Cavaliers held Brenda Frese's scoring machine to just four points in the last four minutes, the last two when it didn't matter.

UVA coach Debbie Ryan says her squad built a wall around Maryland's Langhorne: UVA's Jocelyn Logan-Friend (four steals) says "we made up our minds... to play great defense." Terps leader Shay Doron responds "I don't think we should ever play like that."
