Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Pat Summitt's team-- now number one in the country-- led early, 21-2; they then took about eight minutes to blow that lead, and flailed helplessly through most of the second half.

Candace finished with 26 and ten; her teammates, together, shot 13-45 (under 30%), perhaps because it's really hard to finish a layup when Big Syl is standing right there.
