Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, April 02, 2003

The Times has this nice preview of the Final Four. Jere Longman says Texas's poise and balance could hurt UConn. It calls Tennessee the most impressive team, and Duke the most enigmatic. And this quote is sure to anger LadyVols fans: "Lately, UConn has supplanted Tennessee as the most dominant team in the women's game and, many believe, Geno Auriemma has displaced Summitt as the top coach." But before fire-boming the Times, read on: "Still, the Lady Volunteers have the deepest, most talented team in the country."

President Bush is cheering for the Longhorn men. No mention of the women.

Also in the Times, this story about Lady Tiger Michelle Wie. It's golf, not hoops, but she could be one of the biggest stories in women's sports of years to come.
