Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, March 25, 2007

Bowling Green couldn't keep up with Arizona State: the Sun Devils shut down the three-point shooting for which the Falcons are known, then rode their own inside-out game to an easy win.

Danielle Orsillo, starting by surprise in place of the injured Briann January, led the scoring.

We don't think of Pac-10 teams as especially fast or athletic, but we don't think of the MAC that way either: the difference was glaring-- BGSU's guards couldn't get clean shots, and couldn't get out on ASU's shooters. BGSU's only point guard, Kate Achter-- who looked splendid against Vanderbilt-- just looked tired.

ASU looked ready for their first-ever Elite Eight. How will their guards handle Rutgers' scrambles and traps?
