Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, January 16, 2006

Texas Tech was below .500 coming into yesterday's game against Baylor, but the Raiders played tough and pulled off a huge upset in front of a big Lubbock crowd.

"We've been so close all year," coach Sharp said. "I tell you, there has been no quit in any single person. Every single day at workout, they come and do things. I think we just felt like it was a matter of time until we got something real positive."

Alesha Robertson was the hero. She had 22 and 11, and she hit the game-winning bank shot with less than a second left to win the game.

Robertson had been mired in a serious slump before yesterday, shooting just 11 for 52 over the previous five games. “There's just got to be a point when you put all that stuff away and come out with an empty mind and start all over,” she said.
