Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, December 21, 2007

Hays watched GW land its biggest victory so far this year, over Texas A&M in overtime.

GW's student paper says guard Sarah-Jo Lawrence had the game of her life. Her three tied things up with seconds to go, but the scoreboard at first, mistakenly, showed a two-- so the Aggies' point guard spent the last few seconds trying not to get fouled, rather than attempting a shot. "She thought we were up by one. And hell, I did too for a minute when I looked at the scoreboard," said A&M coach Blair. "But we're supposed to overcome that."

Lawrence scored a career-high 29, making up for the absence of Jessica Adair (concussion), and for coach McKeown's stripped-down rotation-- all five starters got 40+ minutes apiece. "I was in the zone all night," Lawrence said.

Shouldn't the Washington Post have sent a reporter down the street to watch the nationally-ranked Colonials win?
