Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Saturday, June 30, 2007

I wasn't sure Jia Perkins belonged in the league. I am now. Last night she dropped 39 on the Monarchs, who lost to Perkins' Sky in double overtime.

Adrian Williams started in place of an injured Yo. "I was nervous," Williams said. "I haven't started since 2003." It was the Monarchs' second 2OT loss in under a week.

Perkins lost most of her senior year at Texas Tech to pregnancy, and most of her first two years in the league to the black hole that was the late Sting; she's in some elite company now.
