Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

More from busy Mr. Hays as he catches up with Dartmouth grad Schram who's playing pro in Iceland
Less than a year removed from her final game in a Dartmouth uniform, a first-round loss against Maryland in the NCAA tournament, Schram is playing professionally for a basketball team in the Icelandic town of Hvergerdoi, a short distance east of the island nation's capital Reykjavik.

I first caught up with Schram for a story on the eve of her senior year at Dartmouth, as she wrapped up an internship with a noted doctor in New York. An overachiever in everything but ego, the genial Arkansas native -- high school valedictorian, senior class president, etc. -- managed to hold down a pre-med major in the Ivy League while simultaneously carving out a place for herself in the school's basketball record books as a shooter with unlimited range and a rebounder of more import than her frame should have allowed.
