Arike tech?

[Zinethar]

Watch the beginning of the time out prior to the altercation. Arike dropped a huge F bomb on the way into the huddle.

What did Arike say to Geno that drew a technical foul? Any body know?

See post #9 in this thread.

One thing I always admired about Muffett is that she always seemed successful at instilling a warrior mentality in her players. But playing hard and hating losing is one thing. A lack of self-discipline and self-control is another thing entirely. Whether it's Arike, or Mabrey, it always seems one of them exhibits a fairly shocking failure of comportment that devolves into dirty and unsportsmanike play...which makes whipping their butts feel soooo much better!

I think that is just what Lou was talking about in the interview she gave Friday? It feels good to make them hate you!

I wonder if Kobe was watching ?

I think she got tied up and was really hot about it, slamming the ball down several times aside from the Eph-bomb - ill have to see if I’m remembering the same play

I think there was a lot to be desired from commentators in this game. We didn't know why ND was getting extra free throws, there were several whistles and fouls that were never explained or even mentioned, I don't think they ever said that Arike got a technical - they said it was on the bench and then it was on the top left part of the screen, but you couldn't really see what was happening, then it cut away, etc. I'll have to rewatch it, but many plays and whistles left me wondering what was happening and hearing way more about stuff that didn't have anything to do with the game. .....

She asked him politely to be quiet, or maybe not so politely!

On a different note Geno gained 1 today in the race with Tara to overtake Summitt's wins record.

Looked like Geno had a police escort getting off the court.

 

[Zinethar]

It is also a coach's responsibility to pull a player that is losing composure (which can happen in a game like this). it didn't happen which resulted in the flagrant foul.

 

[Bama fan]

I’m shocked to see a lack of class from a player on a Muffet McGraw-coached team.

And by “shocked” I mean “couldn’t be less surprised.”

Are you secretly Captain Louis Renault? If so ,this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

I think that’s usual for coaches leaving the court

Looked like Geno had a police escort getting off the court.

Coaches usually do for every away game.

Good one!

 

[HawkHusky]

Saw that too. Also, much respect for Shepard dropping weight in the off-season. Reminded me of Dolson.

 

[Centerstream]

Kid?! Puh-lease. She is a 21 year old woman, and her behavior was far from acceptable.

Especially when she knows she is in a nationally televised game! And yet in any future game, ESPN will not mention it.

 

[ME Husky Fan]

You have to give Crystal credit for giving Ogunbowale fits. Reminds me of what UCONN did to Mabrey when she was a freshman and she too lost her cool.

sounds like Arike acknowledged her behavior and that it was wasn't the best representation of her post game interview. That's admirable for a young woman, hope she learns from it

 

[Blueballer]

Yeah I'd like to know more about that. ND fans saying Geno baited Arike, but apparently the announcers missed it because they, or the sideline reporter, should have been close enough to hear the exchange.

It wasn't the ND fans saying it! She said that in the Postgame!

"Ogunbowale said Auriemma masterfully baited her into the technical but was disappointed in herself for responding.
“He said some words and I fed right into it and said something back,” Ogunbowale said. “As a senior leader, I definitely can’t do that. I have to keep my composure in times like that.” "

Link?

 

[CocoHusky]

Arike's bad behavior started much earlier than the technical fouls. How early? 6:23 of the first quarter she hits Crystal twice while crystal is running up the court and when Crystal shoves her back she looks at Dee the ref to bail her out. All of this happens seconds before CW splashes her first three and also dribbles around Arike playing o'le defense.

Playing the victim card. I wanna know what those "words" were and her response to them.

Link?

Well crud, I can only link to the McGraw Bench statements..... AO Quote and discussion

did I link that correctly? I'm just a newbie here.....

The announcers missed large portions of the game. i wish they would do the game, and not try to entertain each other. This trio together is lacking concentration. They only need two people with the microphones.

I probably need to apologize to my neighbor for all the times I yelled "Call the !@#$% game!"
