Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Between McCarville and Fowles, who gets the 'Shaq' nickname? Janel thinks Fowles might be more like another star NBA center. "She can block the yahoo out of some shots," McCarville said. "She's more like Yao"

Has Janel ever faced anyone like Fowles? "I think there's a couple of people in the Big Ten who kind of compare to her, but her athleticism is unlike anybody else," she said. "She's got a long way to go, but when she gets there, I think she's going to be really tough."

And what did Sylvia think of Janel? "She's the strongest, ever. She can play."

Coach Borton on the loss: "It was a good measuring stick for our team, and we have a lot to work on. We have three months before we hopefully meet up with them again in the Final Four."

"One of the things we need to work on is getting more scoring from other players," Borton said. "We can't always rely on Janel and Jamie."
