Hats Off To One Kachine Alexander

This is normally a men's basketball blog, but I just couldn't go any further today without commenting on the performance of Iowa sophomore Kachine Alexander in the Hawkeyes' 97-89 triple-overtime win over Penn State this afternoon.

Alexander led all Iowa scorers with 26 points (8-13 from the field, a perfect 10-10 from the foul line), an astounding 21 rebounds and 10 assists. It was her second triple-double of the season, also accomplishing the feat against Northwestern two weeks ago. All of this for a 5'9" guard. It simply was one of the most amazing performances on the hardwood I have seen in my lifetime, men or women.

If she doesn't earn National Player of the Week based on this performance alone, there is no justice. Hats off, Kachine.
