Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, January 28, 2007

Tonight at 7pm EST, #3 Maryland will battle #2 North Carolina in College Park. The Comcast Center (17,950) is sold out, marking the largest crowd to watch an ACC women's basketball game in the history of the conference. (The Terps Feb. 18th game against Duke is sold out, too)

The game can be seen on ESPN2 or you can listen to a live audio strea at www.umterps.com.

An extra bonus? Maryland great Vicky Bullett will be signing autographs during halftime.

Apparently the table is "sponsored" by the Mystics, for whom Bullett played so fiercely. How fiercely? Sue Wicks, who battled VB in the WNBA and Europe called VB one of her favorite players -- and least favorite to play against. After a particularily tough game down in D.C. Wicks commented about Bullett : "She's always tugging and pulling and grabbing at you and the ball. Come the end of the game, you just wanted to hand her the ball and say, 'Here, take it!'"
