Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, November 27, 2005

Tons of games yesterday, the most impressive in Charlotte Amalie, USVI, where Maryland nearly beat the Lady Vols.

The two teams traded one-possession leads throughout the second half; Tennessee led by just one point with 5 seconds left, but stole an inbounds pass and then made free throws for a 5-point win.

Tennessee's Alexis Hornbuckle: "I don't think we knew what we were getting into... They had us on our heels most of the second half."

Maryland post Crystal Langhorne: "We match up really well against [the Lady Vols]. We'd love to see them again."

Maryland dominated the rebound stats, the third time in three games the Lady Vols got outrebounded had trouble on the boards. Langhorne, Hornbuckle and Candace Parker scored 19 apiece.
