Well it sure wouldn't have hurt and maybe it would have lead to less physical play overall.
It's that kind of team. I'm not sure why we don't have a couple enforcers to put in for two plays. Straighten the game right out.
Ebo didn’t muscle us, she threw her weight at our girls and ran them over.
We certainly had our chances, but I also wouldnt say "it wasnt on the refs"
Matharu should've been out of the game after her uncalled flagrant 2, and by OT at least one of Ebo\Gaston should've been fouled out but the refs clearly didn't want to foul either out. You can't tell me that didn't have a huge effect on the end result.
The officials, "the big 12 is a really tough conference to call. The play is so physical, pushing sjoving shoving, slapping, WWE moves. If we could do anything about it, we would. "
I'm not sure if they even see the irony.

Proud of the effort, love this team and the way they play. Ashley Joens played great and impressed, she's so great. Our Bigs battled hard throughout, refs really let it get outta control down low. Sucks we played well enough to win, but still walk away with a loss. Cant wait to watch some NCAA tournament games in Hilton.
I agree with you, but my point is at this point we know how they are going to officiate Texas, Baylor, etc. We can only control what we can control. And we 4 straight empty possessions down 63-61 in regulation. And we got a couple solid looks from 3, which is our bread and butter. Have to knock those down.
I thought when we were up 9 that it would have been a good time to give Ashley a breather. Just a minute or so and try to leave something more in the tank. There were spots we could have gotten the stars a break.
17-7 foul disparity in the 2nd half/OT. And no sane person can say one team was forcing the issue more than the other
So, in the Buddy Boeheim deal, the league reviewed it and suspended him for the next game. The conference needs to look at that play on Denarski and do something. Just because it wasn't called, doesn't need to be the end of it, IMO.
I think our girls were affected by the physical play plus probably a bit fatigued. Not enough movement without the ball the entire 2nd half and overtime. Everyone just standing around watching the person with the ball. Some missed bunnies we normally make and some offensive fouls due to frustration. I really think they needed a few more subs to take some breathers. If we get Fritz healthy next year it will help to have another athletic player. Really impressed with Jordao's play today. Also, have really seen improved play from Diew late in the year. Let's get some rest and make a deep run in the tourney!
You said it, and then you didn't. I couldn't believe the referees personally. The funny thing is that Texas acted like they knew it was going to happen, the were overtly physical and practically brutal from start to finish, like we are entitled to be brutal. I don't like to say it, but not a good look for college basketball.
We had 4 or 5 chances before we eventually tied the game. The opportunity to with this down the stretch in regulation was there. We just didn't get it done.
Yeah, I thought we tried way to hard to take it into the basket when you knew they were not going to get any calls in there. I agree, when they did get the open shots you just have to knock them down.
