Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, November 22, 2005

Cynthia Cooper made her collegiate coaching debut last night. Junior guard Angel Smith hit a buzzer-beater to give Prairie View A&M the win over UTPA.

"You know, I owe you now," Cooper said to Smith after the game.

"I will say 50 percent or more of this was just having (Cooper) out there," said Smith. "We lost so much before she got here, we just don’t know how to win games. Tonight, even though we were down by (17), she made us believe we were still in it. She wouldn’t let us quit, because she has that will to win. It’s her. It’s all about having her on our bench."
