we did get some, but I thought Boston could easily have fouled out way earlier in the game. She got away with a lot of inside contact. That alone would have changed the trajectory of the game.

Coaching question: Why did TVD have Brink in the game at the end??? She's only a 64.7% FT shooter (per the Stanford website) and she's clearly not a ball handler -- so she seems like the last player you'd want to inbound to in that scenario where you know they are going to try to force the steal, then foul if that doesn't work.

agree. she's been atrocious from the FT line in the tournament. Pretty weird.

Exactly! and clearly her ball handling was a liability there as well.
I liked the big line-up she was using for defensive and rebounding purposes---But not on the last possession lol.

Indeed. Stanford got the same ol' "UConn Breaks", albeit not in the final seconds. Seriously, though....that was yet another REALLY inconsistently called game. I don't watch the men's game: do they contend with this crap, also?
Given the crappy reffing went both ways, I'd say BOTH teams showed their experience in rolling with those 'barriers'. Strategically well-played by both coaches.
Miss Williams? Might you please *find* your game again??
I felt so badly for Miss Boston, but Lord knows, she'll be back.

Are you going to say the same thing about UCONN if they make the final? Or about Arizona if they should happen to beat UConn? You probably would have said this about SC if they’d won. Face it, the refs have let a lot go by this whole tournament and have been pretty atrocious all the way around.

I feel like women's basketball is officiated much more loosely than the men's game at pretty much every level. On the plus side you don't get a whole lot of foul fests, but the down side is that you get a lot of missed calls.

Do you watch many Big Ten men's game? I'd wager that's the loosest officiating in any collegiate conference, men's or women's.

The refs missed the push in the back on Beal, and the kick ball off Zia but, they want to question Henderson's 3pt shot when the kid was clearly behind the line. I was literally shaking after she hit that shot and they went up by one.
The game was SC's to lose. The refs did they're sh*t like they normally do - but SC left points out there. They will be more than straight next year. Everyone will be back to include the #1 class. Fire

I posted this earlier but it got burried in the thread. Posting again because I'm genuinely curious:
Did you guys think that was a kicked ball? To me it looked like Cook dribbled it off of Hull's foot, which happened to be moving. But not a "kick" in the intentional sense. In other words, it looked, to me, more like Cook mishandled it and it happened to go off Hull's foot, which happened to be moving.

From the first angle in fast motion it looks like the SC player dribbles it into the defender's foot. At that point I thought it was a good call. But from the later slow motion shot the leg is coming along and the foot hits the ball that is in front of it, which would be an unintentional kick. And after the initial contact it looked like she may have intentionally tried to move it towards her with her foot. Another play that should have been subject to challenge.

NCAA WBB rules:

Section 6. Kick, Fist, Through Basket From Below
Art. 1. It is a violation when a player intentionally kicks the ball, strikes it with the fist or causes it to pass through the basket and enter the cylinder from below. (See Rule 9-15.2.b.)
Art. 2. Kicking the ball is striking it intentionally with any part of the leg or the foot. Accidentally striking the ball with the foot or leg shall not be a violation. |
On this one, the player with the ball dribbled it off the defender's foot. Although Lexie's foot was moving, I still didn't think it was a kicked ball. The slo-mo replay was misleading (as they often are) by making it look like Lexie had time to see the ball coming and deliberately kick it.
Plus the announcers were misleading (as they often are) by trying to be amateur refs who can overrule the real refs.

There was no natural movement that the Stanford girl had with her leg extending outward like it did towards the ball. Not to move laterally. Not to regain her balance. Not to take a defensive "stance" as Holly Warlick always preached.
Unless you can show me video that discloses that a general practitioner somehow sneaked onto the court during the game at that precise moment, and gave the Stanford girl a reflex test with a tiny gavel to the knee to cause her leg to suddenly KICK out towards the ball as it did, that was an intentional kick at the ball.
I mean, the video totally exposes it - Cooke was NOT looking at the stanford girl's feet, she was looking into her mid-section. The stanford girl was totally looking at the ball. The stanford girl had JUST GOTTEN THROUGH stepping laterally with her right leg stepping over her left leg, and she did it properly for ANYONE who is looking to step laterally. She LITERALLY just gave everyone a demonstration of how to properly step laterally, to let you know how she does it, when she honestly does it.
A split second later, as Cooke dribbled the ball, the stanford girl suddenly slung her foot outward towards the ball - totally UNLIKE the side-step SHE JUST GOT THROUGH TAKING A SPLIT SECOND EARLIER!! The extremely exaggerated motion of her flinging her leg outward like she did not only resulted in kicking the ball away, but it also made the stanford girl fall to her knees, because SHE DID SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE LATERAL MOTION SHE JUST GOT THROUGH DOING A SPLIT SECOND EARLIER, AND IT TOOK HER LEG OUT FROM UNDER HER.
The ball didn't knock a players leg out from under them. No basketball could do that, unless they somehow step ON it. A basketball would otherwise just get knocked away, like in this case.
It was a totally deliberate kicking of the ball, and stanford got away with it. Lets move on......

Nope. Just wasn't. I sorta thought the fould shoulda been called on SC for nearly tripping Lexi with the ball. Really, though....in the SPLIT second the refs saw what they could see, it was a legit no-call. The overt fouls, etc., not so much.

You're Pac-12, so I understand your subjective bias. See an awful lot of it from the CT fanbase. But justifying a foul as a "legit no-call" on the fact that the referees did NOT see the legitimate foul take place, is asinine. |
There was NO FOUL involved in this play, darlin'. (Maybe you're thinking of the Baylor/UConn hatchet job no-call, perhaps?) And your hyper-analysis of the Hull non-call validates nothing, even with your totally OBjective Gamecock perspective.

I know every bit as much or as little as YOU, or any fan that viewed the play and watched the replay. Our opinions may take us in different directions, but....we *see* what we *see*.
