Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, December 30, 2006

After a lousy first half, UConn rolled over the Hartford Hawks 62-36. Kaylana Greene and Renee Montgomery did everything right; Ketia Swanier-- better-known for steals and breakaway layups-- had five assists.

Montgomery got things started with consecutive treys. "You could feel the momentum swinging our way," she said.

Tina Charles left early, her shoulder still hurting; big frosh Kaili McLaren replaced her at center for much of the game. "In the beginning it was not fun at all. When everything came together it was fun," McLaren explained.

Expect Charles to sit out Sunday's game against Sacred Heart: if she's unavailable, next week's Tennessee match may not be fun at all.
