Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, February 15, 2006

Minnesota got humiliated last week. Twice. Today, Coach Borton tries to explain why her guards had trouble bringing the ball up the floor: "You never expect that from veteran guards. You rely on your experience back there."

(Ceal Barry, by contrast, announcing on Sunday, remarked: "Minnesota's ballhandling has been very deliberate and Purdue are too quick for them. I thought Minnesota moved the ball best with Emily Fox in the lineup." Yes, that is a verbatim quote.)

Tomorrow the Gophs face Ohio State. Shannon Bolden: "I think it's a good game to come back with. Being at home, against a good team, to prove we're still a contender."

Broback, who hurt her elbow Sunday, may not play. Coach Borton: "Nothing was broken. Her arm got twisted a little bit when a player fell on her hand."
