Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, January 26, 2006

Out west, Candice Wiggins has been smokin' lately. She's scored 30+ in four of her last seven games, and she's now averaging 21.2 on the season. When Newlin went out, Wiggins increased her production, and the Cardinal (once again) sit atop the Pac-10.

Now Newlin is back, and the coaching staff is trying to figure out how to work her back in without upsetting the apple cart.

“The team never forgot about me,” Newlin says. “I was with them every practice and every game. They’ve been really supportive now that I’ve come back, helping me find my role again. Bringing me back to the level I was at could take awhile, but they’re glad to have me back, and I’m glad to be back.”
