Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, December 31, 2005

In Pac-10 action, Stanford beat up USC at Maples Pavilion. Wiggins scored 26, Brooke Smith and her hook shot racked up 20. Jump shooter Cissy Pierce left the game with an ankle injury and may be out for a bit.

And in what may, or may not, count as an upset, the increasingly promising Cal Bears beat UCLA. Cal's Devanei Hampton dominated the paint; UCLA star Blue shot just 2-15.

Cal coach Joanne Boyle: "The kids looked over the scouting report and knew them like the back of their hand....Nikki Blue is a catalyst for getting them going. Jene [Morris] and Lexi [Gray-Lawson] did a really good job taking her out of her game."
