Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, March 29, 2004

Duke and La Tech are two high-powered offensive teams, but yesterday's game turned into a frustrating defensive battle.

"I'm sure it wasn't pretty to watch," Coach G said. "We said although we were two of the top scoring teams in the nation, it would come down to defense."

The Techsters managed to contain Alana Beard, holding her to 5-for-15 shooting. But they couldn't hit any shots themselves, and finished only 30% for the game.

"I don't think you could play any harder or any better defensively than we did today," Tech coach Kurt Budke said. "But this time of year, you've got to make some shots."
