Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, January 20, 2008

Texas A&M, frankly, looked better as a team, but the Cowgirls' Andrea Riley didn't care: she led Oklahoma State to a comeback win in a tough game that made the intense 5'5" Dallas native look as exciting as any player in the land.

Riley's 29 points and five treys included two from way outside the arc: one of the two was the game-winner, launched with under seven seconds to go.

Also learned from watching the televised matchup: A&M's A'Quonesia Franklin is called "Aqua"; OSU's Megan Byford is quite good under the hoop (she reminded me slightly of Kelli Roehrig); and OSU remains undefeated in conference play.
