Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, January 23, 2004

Neither Duke nor Tennessee had any problems in its warm-up game for Saturday's huge 1-2 battle.

Duke crushed Maryland in College Park. The best news for the Devils was that Iciss Tillis, who has been underperforming for the past month (or longer, depending on whom you ask), finally had a dominant game inside. She had 21 and 8 in only 25 minutes. Said Beard: "She's back!"

The Vols didn't have much problem with Vandy. After the Commodores closed to within 6 in the second, Tennessee scored 12 in a row to put it away. Shyra Ely had 22 and 8.
