Message: [QUOTE="psconn, post: 3787984, member: 293"] Agree, but the refs did miss the call, and it seemed so in real time, too. Paige was clearly bodied to the floor. The DePaul player came in at an angle to Paige's straight path to the ball and was not making a play on the ball. The angle and the lack of a play on the ball made it a more obvious real-time call, IMO. I also thought Aaliyah's entanglement with DePaul's Lexi Held at 7:55 in the 4th could/should have resulted in a technical or worse for Aaliyah. Before you start the torchlight and pitchfork parade, [B]picture an opposing player doing to Paige what Aaliyah did to Held[/B]. Those kind of arm trapping pull-down plays are high risk for arm injuries and are a point of emphasis in the NBA and WNBA. Geno and staff were not joking about Aaliyah's physicality. Yikes. She was an active combatant on the next play also. She is going to be be a great one for us, especially if/when she employs a confident mid-range game. [/QUOTE]
