Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, March 30, 2006

Graham Hays looks at this year's ACC semis Final Four in Greensboro Boston and finds lessons for all four teams. They're pretty much the lessons you'd expect: Shay Doron has to do more for Maryland; LSU's slow starts and soft spots are going to catch up to them; Ivory Latta has to stay under control; and the Tar Heels really have Duke's number.

Doron says her Terps know what to expect. "If we have to play Duke in the second game, we’ve done that three times this year," she remembers. “We’ve played North Carolina and Duke back-to-back... We’re just very prepared for this moment.”

BC lost to three of the four teams playing on Sunday; the Eagles even took Maryland to OT. BC coach Inglese: "Playing in the ACC puts us on that level, and people we are recruiting are noticing that as well. Even our younger players are starting to pick up on that."
