Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, December 31, 2005

Oklahoma beat New Mexico again. The Sooners walloped the Lobos, taking a huge lead at the half despite Courtney Paris' foul trouble-- the dominant frosh played just 22 minutes overall.

NC State beat George Washington despite GW's late comeback. Now 6-0 at home, NCSU get ready for Monday's game against still-unbeaten Virginia Tech, who had trouble Thursday against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

LSU pulverized South Florida, holding USF's Jessica Dickson-- who leads the country in scoring-- to less than half her season average. Was USF's overtime win over DePaul a fluke?

LSU's Fowles scored a career high; at one point the Tigers led by 49. LSU defensive specialist (and three-point threat) Scholanda Hoston: "The plan was team defense. They set a million screens for [Dickson] and every time I came off one there was a teammate there to help me out with a hand in her face."
