Haven't looked at the box yet, but my impression is that Nina Davis was pretty invisible until Gabby almost crushed her.

They didn't call a foul when Williams flew in and landed right on top of Davis yet the called a technical when Prince barely pushed Nurse's hand off of her. Sometimes you just have to scratch your head.

The only time Nina Davis was mentioned tonight was when Williams landed on top of her. Is she 100% because she was nonexistent on the court tonight and that's not like her at all..
UConn's defensive trademark is to take the opponent's best player out of the game and make the other players beat them.

Gabby didn't "fly in" she was off her feet trying to grab a rebound and got bumped, then fell on Davis. NIce try, though.

I think they did a pretty good job on the two bigs underneath also. 15 points total between them, as well as 8 fouls.

You are seeing that play through Husky colored glasses. That should have been a foul on her, regardless of how she ended up with her ass on Davis's head.

What was the foul that should have been called? Simply landing on someone as far as I know is not a foul in itself.

Davis was standing in the lane and Williams came flying into the lane, out of control. She was not going straight up from a standing position.

Maybe we will see a replay and I will be proven wrong. It has happened before...like tonight. :oops:

Not sayin it wasn't a foul but u can go thru any game and find 10 fouls, 5 travels, 7 3 seconds and 2 travels that weren't called. One play doesn't make or break a game. Geno had these girls ready to play...end of story

I originally thought it was a foul on Davis for undercutting a player in the air until I saw the reply. IT was a Husky that bumped Gabby and Gabby fell on Davis. Both players were just going for a rebound.

I love guard play. I love guard play. Even at times Nurse was frustaring she stull made some beauty plays. OFC THE REAL DANGER. And the game against FSU Chong.

I love how our forwards Gabby and Napheesa are so tough yet they have guard skills. I love it how they battle yet they play the game so beautiful in an athletic skill way.

I love the skill of this team. I love how smooth KLS and the whole team moves and shoots. Though KLS has to get tougher. But what a tremendous smooth offensive weapon player.

I loved NB's effort. I'm not a big fan of the big style. I love guard play -- but boy did she compete and while she isn't smooth around the basket I admire the effort.

***This year is a bonus - anything they accomplish -- my God next year -- ohh BROTHER are we going to be great-- barring injury!!!

The Real Danger reminds me of Khalid el Amin when KEA was a frosh. Wow -- I'm a big fan of passing too -- what a joy to watch her pass the ball never mind that driving scoop. Just wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Davis was standing on the ground. So the new rule is if your teammate pushes you into an opposing player and you land on her, knocking her to the ground it is not a foul, because you were pushed?

And next year we add Megan, Lexi, AZ, et al to the mix. Primed for another championship run.

Well. regardless of the non-call on that instance, the refs definitely over-reacted on the T, I agree. One instance of chippy play under the basket deserves more of a warning - I think the announcers were correct in this assessment. And the T came after the refs reviewed the tape. Unnecessary. The only thing I'll add is it was a dagger call, but not a game-changer, with the Huskies up by 10 at that moment. More insult to injury.

I thought the Baylor pg was tremendous but they are very mechanical. OFC they are playing away from home. I don't liek the big mechanical teams. Thougg the pg is special. And what's up with Baylor's Cox?

As always there were bad calls both ways. I agree on the tech. The Davis/Williams ummmm... "interaction" requires a reply or two before I could decide (one reason I could never ref). Nina could have been seriously hurt the way she twisted down with Gabby's weight on her. Very happy she was OK.

But what was the foul? Landing on someone is not a foul I don't think, so you have to have something more.

Yeah, that foul on Baylor was TOTALLY BOGUS. I do think the other was a good no call (as the foul should have been).
