Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, March 28, 2010

The Aztecs' fast guards, and the favorites' malfunctioning offense, let San Diego State keep up with Duke till halftime: after that, the Blue Devils took control.

Both teams shot poorly, on paper, after the break, but Duke-- who held SDSU scoreless for six minutes-- found enough points to put the game away.

Baylor meet Duke on Monday, in a rematch of coaches from 2005's championship game.

Jasmine Thomas gave Duke all the offense her defense-first team needed to get the lopsided win.

But it's hard to imagine what they'll do against Baylor: they don't have the posts you'd need to go up against Griner, and they don't seem to have (this year) the ability to score from the outside, in big bunches, that they had with the Waners in town.
