Keep Shooting, Caitlin

Shot after shot after shot Caitlin’s red-hot Swish, swish, swish; the net barely moves Caitlin feels it; she’s in the groove Game after game, win after win The adulation never wears thin Comes the game for the number one rank Caitlin’s shots go clank, clank, clank Her touch, gone; her face, drawn Millions of shots for tears spawned

Thanks, Tonye. WNBA is gonna be interesting next year. I predict a rough greeting for Caitlin... When Pete Maravich, he of 44.4 points per game in college, got to the pros, Larry Bird put him in his place right away... When rookie Walter 6' 11' Bellamy first played Wilt Chamberlin, Wilt told him he wouldn't get a shot off in the first half. So, Wilt blocked all nine of Walter's field goal attempts. The Pros are the Pros. ~ gw

I don't know what's greater: That Caitlin can shoot 40-footers like layups, or that Iowa found out that there's no 'I' in team. Really was hoping they'd lose the big one. And they die. S. Carolina, a far superior team.
