Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, January 21, 2008

A game you'd wished you'd seen: Georgia Tech took Maryland to double-overtime.

You'll recall the Brenda Frese post-championship book, "Overtime is Our Time." It was again, as #4 Maryland escaped with a 99-94 victory. It's their eighth straight overtime game victory dating to the 2004-05 season. Notes Mechelle Voepel:
"Phew!" would be the word for the weekend for the Terps and their fans. The team was pushed twice, and Maryland had plenty of opportunities to lose.
Note to Terrapin opponents: the Yellow Jackets pressed'em all game, forcing 26 turnovers. They're also an undersized and physical team, which explains the foul disparity (34-12) and why four of their five starters fouled out.

By the way, the ever classy, and truly wonderful player, Vicky Bullett was at the game to honor Crystal Langhorne, who broke Bullett's Maryland scoring record.
