Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, December 05, 2007

Some mild surprises last night:

1. Last year's A-Ten champion, Xavier, surprised NC State in Raleigh. Amber Harris, once bound for Purdue, tallied 19 for XU's Musketeers; NCSU's Whittington had 26 but didn't have much help. "I was putting 'em in," said Whittington, "But we still need other people to score."

2. James Madison are no longer undefeated, having lost decisively at Falwell Liberty U. The high-scoring game saw two players score 20 apiece, and three with double-doubles.

The Dukes, who knocked off GW two weeks ago, remain undefeated at home-- but the Terps are coming to town, and they're not in a good mood.

3. Speaking of undefeated teams-- did you know that Oklahoma State still hasn't lost? The Cowgirls are 8-0 after canning Wichita State... but they don't play a single major-conference opponent, unless you count TCU, till their Big XII season starts.
