Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Liberty shocks the world.

The most surprising part of the game was that the Flames did so well with Feenstra on the bench. Coach Green resisted the temptation to put her back in: ""My mind was made up. Get behind me Satan because she ain't going in. I wanted to save her for 20 minutes of the second half."

Upsets are great for the game, right? We should be happy that a 13 seed made the Sweet Sixteen, right?

Well... given the politics of the school and its founder, Liberty's advance is a mixed blessing for many women's basketball fans. They can take heart knowing Sylvia Fowles is on the case.
