Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4477700, member: 11664"] If you noticed on that play, Aubrey leaped toward the far side of the basket from where she was standing. She didn't leap straight up but at an angle toward the defender. I believe that the defender was trying to shield herself, and protected her own space to not be landed on which could have hurt her. Sure she got a foul, but Aubrey almost busted her bones. Who was put at risk by making a poor decision in a game where the rebound wasn't needed? Aubrey could have timed her jump differently or simply tipped the ball out of bounds. The SH player risked nothing at all by barely pushing on Aubrey's back. Aubrey was already going off kilter by trying to rebound off the far side of the basket from her position. It's as clear as day on the replay. That's why there wasn't any flagrant foul called, and Aubrey took all of the punishment except for the meaningless foul shots if she was awarded any. It was a totally meaningless move against a weak opponent in a game that was a blowout. And to talk about inconsistency, UConn was outscored by SH in the 4th quarter. From the 1st game Geno said that he had to tell the team to slow down because they don't slow down on their own. They lack some throttle control which results with so many turnovers. At times I think they play too fast for Dorka to be able to catch longer precision passes. It can be exciting to watch when it works but she may only be able to catch the ball to finish the play 1/2 the time. Patterson & others still miss bunnies, as a team they still have a long way to go. [/QUOTE]
