Quote of the Day: Richard Cohen
From this WNBAlien post:
"There was a hilarious shambles at EuroBasket Women 2013 today, with Russia beating Italy by six points and neither team seeming certain at the finish whether they ought to be happy or not. Those who’d done the maths beforehand knew that Russia needed to win by at least seven to confirm their place in the next round, and when the result of the later Spain-Sweden game went against them, Russia were out. It was a ludicrous miscalculation by the Russian coaching staff, who clearly hadn’t drilled into their players that seven was the crucial figure."
