Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, January 26, 2007

All the Top Ten teams to play Thursday night won cleanly, but some pretty good ones lost in shockers: Michigan State, for example, fell at Penn State.

PSU center Amanda Brown, who sleepwalked through their loss at Minnesota, took over this game with 27 and 14; Michigan State's DeHaan came off the bench and didn't do much.

The Lady Nittany virulently homophobic controversial Lions improve to 8-3 at home, but 2-9 on the road.

In another surprise, Kentucky fell at home to Mississippi State. The double-overtime game included 22 points each from UK's Humphrey, who fouled out, and from Mississippi State's Imesia Jackson, whose team scored all the points in the second OT.

And in another surprising OT, Wyoming needed an extra frame to beat Colorado State, who have almost no bench at the moment and haven't defeated a challenging team all year.

Down by 13 early on, Wyoming played from behind for much of the game; the Cowgirls came through to win by double digits in OT. Wyoming's Hannah Zavescz, who led all scorers with 23, also hit the tying shot.
