Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, March 28, 2007

Tennessee throttled Mississippi. Same story we've seen before: it takes Parker about 5-10 minutes to secure victory; Vols cruise to the finish line on autopilot.

In addition to her scoring and rebounding, Candace demoralized Ole Miss with several highlight-reel blocks. (If you missed them, check SportsCenter Top Plays this morning.)

"I felt like this was our best game of the tournament without any doubt," Summitt said. "The thing that we talked about after we played Marist was that we played great for the first 20 minutes and we had a lot of lapses in the second half."

"It's been very special," said coach Ross. "But the little train just couldn't get up the mountain and the big train just kept motoring up. It seemed like everything we did they did it better."

Price deserves credit for fighting hard, and her draft stock rose considerably over the last four games, but against Parker and the Vols, her effort wasn't nearly enough.
