Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, March 25, 2008

While their Lobos were eliminated in the first round, the fans in Albuquerque came back and were treated to one of the upsets of the night.

Pitt used a strong performance from Shavonte Zellous to advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time in the program's history. Coach Agnes Berenato explained her plan and the reason her team won were simple - "play 40 minutes of tough defense, rebound and play without fear."

Lobo fans also saw the team that eliminated UNM go down as Vandy routed West Virginia 64-46. The Commodores trailed by 2 at half, but outscored the Mountaineers by 20 in the second half. Christina Wirth was 4-7 from beyond the arc and finished with 21 points. This was Vandy's 11th win in the last 12 games.
