Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, February 23, 2004

Without Perkins and Greenwalt, I honestly didn't think it possible, but Texas Tech got the win over Texas yesterday. The Raiders looked solid -- crashed the boards, played great defense, won the battle in the paint.

"What a great game. I don't think you can ask for a much better matchup in women's basketball than that," Tech coach Marsha Sharp said. "You just go to war against each other for 40 minutes and somebody makes a few more plays than someone else. It was a great team win."

"We got outplayed, outhustled, outworked and outmuscled," Texas Coach Jody Conradt said.

UConn will take sole possession of the #1 ranking. But Coach Conradt wasn't too upset about losing #1: "Hopefully, we'll make our mark at the end of the season."
