Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, December 18, 2006

Not a great day for parity: Tennessee blew out Texas on national TV, LSU did a number on Michigan State, and several other Top Ten teams-- such as Oklahoma and Ohio State-- crushed teams you would likely expect them to crush.

In a game that might have been more fun to watch, Vandy got past South Florida behind ex-UConn center Liz Sherwood's 19 points. (Dear athletic departments: please provide box scores as web pages, not PDFs!)

And in the only thing close to a genuine upset, the surging West Coast Huskies canned Florida State. The home team won by nineteen even though no UW starter saw more than 30 minutes.

UW coach June Daugherty called it their "best game yet." Washington almost beat Ohio State a few weeks ago: FSU could fall out of the rankings next week, and UW might move in.
