Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, March 30, 2003

Yesterday's games:

Duke did just enough to win. Beard was soft, but others stepped up.

Texas Tech was able to ignore all the off-court distractions and get revenge for last year's loss at the Pit.

The storybook season will last at least one more game for 'Nova. Bjorkland scored 29 for the Buffs; her teammates had only 22 combined, and they couldn't stop 'Nova's slow, methodical, grinding offensive drive in the second half.

Gwen Jackson was huge for Tennessee, and the Vols' kept Mazzante from getting open looks -- she ended with only 12. John Adams says the Vols are playing their best ball since 1998. The Lions just couldn't compete with Tennessee's hustle and rebounding.
