Feel bad for Chong on that last shot, which was started too early but might have worked out okay if William hadn't defended it so well. |
I disagree with Burke and Lawson about that play. It looked to me like a foul has to be called one way or the other when there is contact like that. I think the time of the game influenced that no-call.

Typical Conway, that is why you got your ass razzed on other boards. No class. How about a mention to the great game the bulldogs play. Dope. |
I got my ass razzed on other boards by you and other UConn fans because I championed the SEC in WCBB. Now it is an All-SEC Championship Finals. How bout that dope for ya?? |
Just shows you do not know what it is like to be a winner with class. Go look at all the posts here by UCONN fans, They all congratulated The BUlldogs. It is called being a winner even when you are on the wrong side of the score. Besides, we didn't razz you after the Gamecocks lost because you always disappeared on other boards after a defeat. LOL.

UConn played without their usual poise. They made far too many mental errors. I expected this type of play early in the season but they waited till now.
Well, on to next year and the start of another streak. Congratulations to Miss St and especially to their coach who came up with a brilliant game plan.

Think we scared the landlady. My hands finally stopped trembling.
I don't even go there. Or anywhere near there. What a finish. What an unbelievable finish. Incredible grit from both teams.
And I am so, so, so glad that the game was not decided by the review- except, perhaps, in the sense that it helped cause Chong to lose track of the clock. I think that, warranted or not, that would have cast a shadow of suspicion on the sport that it doesn't need.
Also, I would like an announcing crew that doesn't call players on one team by their first names, or say UConn "finally" has a lead. Can we maybe get Thibault and Robinson to team up with Lawson and Rowe?

Honestly, I'd just like Lawson by herself.
And that's how I feel about Men's commentators too.

Just getting rid of Doris would be GREAT. Or Doris and Dave, that would be good too. But first and foremost, ESPN's UConn worship needs to stop.

I don't know why you assume that. I'm expecting MissSt to win on Sunday. |
Why is that? SC beat them twice already, once without Coates. |
Refs killed msu the last time chances sc will beat them three in a row are not good. |
No they didn't the last game USC won by 10 and actually it was a very open game with very few fouls for both teams. I think both teams combined shot fewer than 20 FTs for the game. USC played lock-down defense in the 4th Qtr. and Miss St. missed a ton of shots at the end.
It will be a knockdown drag-out game for both teams. Winning a 3rd game in a row for USC will be very hard, and both teams know each other like a book....

Totally agree, in the Stanford game, they were taking about Tara's mother while completely ignoring the made baskets on the court. It was just typical of the coverage.

Yup, that is pretty shocking, since Mississippi State has a zero percent chance of even being IN the NCAA Championship game. |

the "rule" on flagrant fouls has to have a little wiggle room in it...incidental contact especially while defending with no intent whatsoever has to get a pass....
it wasn't a chop, or a slam, or a hard hit...it was a nothing....
and maybe, flopping should be looked at as a foul itself.... |
There was a lot about that contact that didn't look right. I wondered if maybe KLS was lifting the arm of Dillingham. Given the height difference, I can't figure out why Dillingham would even have her arm that high (5'9"-6'3"). You lose all of your power when you raise it that high. Doesn't make sense.
Now to the review. The contact occurred around :55 seconds to go. UConn got possession with :35 seconds to go. They called TO at :27 and that's when the review happened. There needs to be a way to review it sooner. (Actually it needs to be called when it happened. Two of the refs appeared to be looking right at it.)
If UConn wants a review, they shouldn't be allowed to continue play (when they got the ball at :35 seconds) and then call for a review :8 later.
Give Dillingham credit, she did look back a couple of times to, I'll assume, if she was OK. Also looked like the one ref did as well.
I just don't like that if UConn had made a basket in addition to the free throws, that MSST would have less time to score than they would have if the call had been made at the time that it happened. Seems like it really puts a team at a disadvantage and that's not officiating is supposed to do.

clearly the way to beat uconn is to get them to OT, where they suck.
cool to learn that i attended the last CT OT win, on 12/1/04, vs USF (a non-BEast member at the time.)
thoughts....well, disappointed but surprised only by how rattled Collier and Nurse were, especially, and 17-25 FT shooting.
Overall, can't be disappointed in the season, considering how I thought things would go, back in Nov.
Bye bye Saniya- thanks for those big 3s vs maryland!

Now I can watch the Championship Game. I expect it to be one hell of a game. 2 SEC teams each wanting their 1st Title.
May the best team win. It was though that neither SC or MS could beat UCon. All the talking heads were talking about UCon. MS beat them and now they are not even in the Final.

They keep showing that so-called "flagrant" on ESPN.
It may go down as the most famous flop in WBB history.

its a taught move...anything close to your neck or chin, act it up....byu's pulsipher did it all the time on her attempts at 3 points...it became a joke...
but that stuff is TAUGHT by the coaches....that immediate response fo throwing yourself back and grimacing...
and I agree about the timing....if a flagrant occurs play must be stopped immediately and the film looked at....you can't wait til the other team looses possession...
there should be no retroactive fouls....
