Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, March 22, 2006

Tennessee took an early lead and coasted to a win over GW. Shanna Zolman hit four three-pointers and in the process, broke Kara Lawson's school record. GW coach Joe McKeown thinks Zolman might be the best player on the Vols.

The Lady Vols have reached the Sweet Sixteen every year of the tournament.

Duke had an even easier time with USC. Alison Bales had 22 points, 9 boards, and 6 blocks. "She's been doing that, and I said, 'I can't wait for Ali's practices to show up in a game,'" coach G said. "She's been practicing like this for a couple of weeks, so it's nice to see it show up in a game."

"Duke has size, speed, quickness … all of the things you need to go deep into this tournament," said the always gracious Mark Trakh. "They are built for this tournament right now. We're kind of pulling for them now so we can say we played the national champions."
