Think Gabby has some hops? 5-11 vs 6-4
That's the way she played last season in the NCAA Tournament game in which Baylor was eliminated.
No, that was a foul that was not called.
I agree - after rewatching it they were both moving toward each other Gabby in the air, Davis on the floor, they came together and in effect Davis under cut Gabby and they went to the grown. I am very glad neither was hurt on the play. I would not have been surprised with a foul being called on either of the players, but think the no call was probably justified. Even in slow motion it is hard to decide who was at fault.
The adjustments were 1) For the Wallace perimeter shots instead of the weakside defender having 1 foot in the paint they only help to the paint. Made for an easier closeout. Crystal Saniya, & KLS were all late on the closeout of 4 Wallace Jumpers in the first half. In the second half they were there and she had to put the ball on the deck. 2) First timeout of the second half adjustment was to send help from the baseline side. Even more subtle was that the help came from the Baylor Post defender weak side right hand for Brown and left hand for Mompremier. Yup Geno is pretty much a genius.
Nina pretty much took herself out of the game, very odd. She too only 4 shots and a grabbed couple of rebounds. Meg said that Kim was struggling with her rotations, that a lot of post players to keep happy ( Brown, Cave, Mompremier, Cox). Davis might be the odd-woman out.
If you watch the slow motion replay, Davis is still moving under Williams when she's at the peak of her jump...giving her nowhere to land...looked like a submarine that probably wasn't intentional, but still could've badly injured the airborne player...
Nina Davis was Lost in Space
The line favored UConn by 13. UConn won by 11. Clearly lots of people, with skin in the game (read $$$ and not just punditry), thought UConn would win.
Well, yes, Mr. JavaMan it was, as evidenced by the following clip from 12:16 through 12:21.
Who freakin' cares? It's an awesome shot!!
I like your comments and would love to see that happen. However, are you misspelling Crystal and Chong intentionally? Just wondering....
They had no choice on review. You can clearly see the ref on the baseline signal a foul. A foul call cannot be negated by video review. And a foul call in a dead ball situation is an automatic 'T'. The most equitable review result they could have come up with would be to call a double foul and if they could discern and aggressive act by Kia, I think they probably would have done that on review, but Kia had not done anything at all in the sequence so they were stuck with a Baylor T.
