Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, March 26, 2008

UConn's one-sided win was fun for UConn fans, and Tennessee's one-sided win was great fun for the folks in orange: Hornbuckle had eight steals, and the Boilermakers-- though they were playing at home-- had no chance. "They're a great rebounding team," said FahKara Malone, "and we couldn't keep them off the boards."

Almost as non-competitive, even though it was a 4-5 game: Louisville's huge win over Kansas State. UL stayed way ahead for most of the match, and tallied 37 boards to K-State's 22.

The victory sets the Cardinals (they have an "s," it's Stanford that take the singular) up to play North Carolina in what will be UL's first Sweet Sixteen: among all the teams not predicted as national champions, Angel McCoughtry & company are one of the few whose athletes could give the Heels a hard time.
