Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

CSTV takes notice of Hofstra's Lizanne Murphy. Just 38 points short of 1,000, putting her fourth on Hofstra's all-time scoreing and rebounding lists, Murphy is, says CSTV's Jeff Lippman, "not an average student athlete."
Aside from basketball and her 3.6 GPA, the biology major with a triple minor in chemistry, French and psychology--yes, that's not a mistake, she is a triple minor--also tutors other Hofstra students in math, biology and chemistry.

"When you tutor you don't really do that much, you can't take any credit," she said, like anyone thought she would take credit. "You show them an easier way to solve something and they end up figuring it out for themselves. You spend a lot of time learning and helping and when you help someone get it, it's a good feeling."
