Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, February 24, 2006

Ohio State secured a Big Ten title, besting Purdue in the paint and at the line.

OSU scored no field goals during the final six minutes, but sank 14 freebies over that stretch; Purdue had just six for the game. OSU's Brandie Hoskins: ""We practice that all the time, hitting free throws at crunch time."

Purdue wins big games when Aya Traore shows up: last night she played 36 minutes but shot 4-for-13, scoring no points after the break. Gearlds and Wisdom-Hylton couldn't carry their team. Gearlds: "I needed to start being more aggressive earlier; I waited too long."
