#2 Tennessee wins @ Duke

No. 2 Tennessee 72 @ No. 1 Duke 69
Coach Pat Summitt won in her first trip to Cameron Indoor Stadium, leading the Lady Vols past Duke 72-69 Saturday.

The Shreveport Times will not be happy.
:lol:

HA! I LOVE IT! Our rpi keeps getting better! :-)

Now, come on Penn State, Illinois, and Miss. State! Also, Rice needs to keep it up and come in second to us in the conference with only 2 losses - the one they have and their next one with us, when we TOTALLY DEMOLISH them.

I watched the game and Beard screwed up in the clutch. She did hit one 3-pointer during crunch time, but committed several turnovers and stupid fouls and definitely cost her team a chance to win it. And I loved it!

What will Tim Fletcher do now that his Channel 3 sports' star bombed out on national TV? Probably just sweep it under the rug, or just mention that she had her jersey retired. Does anyone, other than the immediate Beard family, really give a damn about Alana Beard?

I must admit, I am still PO'd that KMR screwed up the recruiting of Alana Beard for our Techsters!!

Yes, there is no reason to be unpleasant except when the Techsters are beating Duke in the NCAA tournament! And then we can wish Alana well and try to enjoy her pro career because she is a hometown girl and forgive her choice of colleges. Yes, blame KMR, not the young lady.

According to everything that is repeated by the pundits on ESPN, Beard was not coming to Tech, no way, no how. She wanted to go to Tennessee, but Mickey DeMoss dropped the ball, or the video tape, on that one and blew it for the rocky toppers. Beard also listed UNC and I think they said Purdue????

But, it's not Beard's choice of Duke, or even if pigtails screwed it up for us that concerns me. It's all that stupid damn coverage the b gets by Channel 3 and the Times. Let the Durham paper write things about her, she belongs to them. The Shreveport Times needs to focus on the local teams.

Alana is from Shreveport.
