The most engaging television I've watched in the past 32 days was the NCAA Division 1 Women's 3-Point Contest. If you ask, people will tell you how exciting it was to watch Katie Gearld's (Purdue) best Aaron Brooks (Oregon, the Men's champion) in the final. But for my money, the real championship was the semi-final, where Gearlds edged Caroline Williams of Vanderbilt. Normally I don't watch a lot of women's college hoops (i'm lying, i love it), but for a few moments I thought i was watching Craig Hodges vs. Detlef Schrempf - a throwback to the golden age of NBA All-Star weekend. My heart was with Williams, a bouncy, Hodges-like jump shooter. But fatigue led to her demise, opening the door for the Shrempf-esque, sharp shooting Gearlds to take the crown.
Quick hits:
Caroline Williams
Katie Gearlds
Craig Hodges
Detlef Schrempf
