Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, November 19, 2005

Baylor got past UCLA in the Bears' home opener, a.k.a. Banner Night.

The score looks closer than the game often felt: UCLA's posts looked badly overmatched. The Bears pulled down eleven more boards. More than half UCLA's rebounds came from guards Quinn and Blue.

UCLA stayed in it through outside shooting. Lisa Willis had five second-half treys, at one point shooting three in a row off the same step-back move. She finished with 22-- but Sophia Young had 26, and made it look easy, too.
