Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, September 13, 2006

Getting the game clock to start may have been more difficult than Team USA's opening contest aganist China. The Americans rolled to a 119-72 victory as Anne Donovan took advantage of her deep roster.

Former UConn backcourt mates Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi led the way with 20 and 17 points as the team shot 50% from 3 point range and nearly 58% overall from the floor. Coach Donovan did not have many complaints on her team's performance on either end of the floor.

While it was strange to watch the team without Lisa Leslie, Yolanda Griffith and Dawn Staley, Voepel says the team is still riveting to watch, even if the game is not.
