Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, November 22, 2007

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Sylvia Fowles gave LSU fans some stuffing: her Tigers crushed Louisiana-Lafayette, and Big Syl tallied 21 and 12, but the big news this week will be the two points she scored by going above the rim.

Fowles has been dunking in practice for a while; she's now the sixth NCAA player to do so in a game. “I think it’s because [coach] Starkey didn’t let me do it" in warmups, she said. "It's a ritual. I do it before every game... It feels good. I think I'll have some more."

UPDATE: you can watch the dunk here. Thanks, Chris!
