Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Last night saw another # 2 seed go down as well -- Vandy fell to Bowling Green. If you were shocked, you shouldn't have been. The Falcons have had a great year. Now they're the first MAC team ever to make the Sweet Sixteen.

"We just didn't back down," said BG's Amber Flynn. "They were bigger, taller and we held our ground."

When asked what happened, coach Balcomb didn't have a good answer. "I don't know," she said, "all I know is what we did. Our spacing was not good; we took too quick a shots.

Kate Achter offered another explanation: "This was the weekend of upsets. Vanderbilt was next in line. Watching Marist and other teams, it's huge motivation."
