Message: [QUOTE="NOI33, post: 2208063, member: 5730"] You don't need to see "3-4 minutes prior to the foul" for it to be evident that her actions were childish and unwarranted. But since I watched the ENTIRE game, I'll give you a brief synopsis of "3-4 minutes prior to this foul." Diana was being played tight by Currie/Montgomery (both were switching on and off and playing very good D by the way). She got blocked on two plays, got stripped on another, and took a wild layup with her back to the net expecting the refs to call a foul (she pulls these stunts when things aren't going her way in the game; check game tape from last year if you don't believe me). Diana was visibly irritated when her defender didn't just let her waltz to the basket and actually played defence. During the play in question, there were a series of screens being set by the Stars, and on one of them, Hamby sets a screen which Diana tried to roll off of, and then proceeds to whack Hamby in the back of the neck out of frustration for being too slow to catch up with her man. I say this because there is no other explanation for why you would hit Hamby, who, up to that point, had no direct contact with Diana whatsoever. She then proceeds to whack Colson (?) near the face (and tries to play it off as inadvertent). I am a MASSIVE fan of DT and her skill-set. Anyone who loves basketball will admire her dedication to the game. But unlike some people on here, I'm not willing to overlook her brash behaviour and mean-spirited actions on the court (that have become a pattern btw) just because she is a "UCONN great." Nonsense.
