Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, November 16, 2006

Maybe it would be different if we saw them in person, but I just can't get excited about all these early-season blowouts.

In what was likely last night's most exciting game, the Hawkeyes had to work to get past Indiana State. Skouby sank 11 of 13 free throws; Stacy Schlapkohl-- who missed almost all of last season after tearing her ACL in December-- dropped 24 on ISU's Sycamores.

Speaking of Iowa-- and of Wisconsin and Penn State and the Buckeyes-- Sharon Crowson's Big Ten predictions are up at her cool Big Ten site; these predictions differ considerably from Sharon's Big Ten preview at Full Court, maybe because they got posted at different times. Is Iowa going to finish fifth, or third?
