Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Beth Mowins writes about coach Amanda Butler's 10-1 Florida team:
This week, they broke into the Top 25 for the first time this season, at No. 24 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll and No. 20 in the Associated Press poll.

"We want to set the tone and be the aggressor," said Butler, who is in her second season coaching at her alma mater. "Win the first four minutes. We used to say it when I played here for Carol Ross, and we still live it today. At the start of every game, one team comes out swinging and one team gets hit in the mouth. We want to hit first, and we've won the first four minutes in just about every win this year."
