Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, November 23, 2003

In the biggest game of the weekend, Duke faced Purdue.

This seemed like a potential upset -- Duke has already dropped one, and Purdue has very high hopes for this year.

No upset. It wasn't even close. Purdue had more turnovers than assists, and lost by 30.

Coach Curry, not psyched: "We were awful, really awful. They just flat out give us a good old country kicking. I was extremely embarrassed."

Coach G, psyched: "I am very pleased with our effort. This was an excellent game for us to play because we had an opportunity to play through great adversity with Brittany getting injured [early in the first half], Iciss having three fouls and Alana having four fouls. We showed great chemistry and character, and that makes me feel good about our future."

Beard had 20 points, 10 boards, 5 assists.
