Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4512644, member: 7511"] As far as the physical play by Morrow, Aaliyah and others during the game, It’s worth noting that Geno was very complementary of the referees in his postgame presser, noting that the game was called like a “men’s basketball game” and not like a “women’s basketball game.” The point he was making is that the refs let the teams play, allowing a lot of incidental contact that might otherwise be called fouls in a ticky-tack game when the refs blow their whistles non-stop. There was one sequence in particular that I loved, after Aaliyah scored, when she & Morrow ran back down the court, side by side, trading shoulders and elbows. I do think Morrow was frustrated, primarily because she has not had to face someone like Aaliyah all season. Aaliyah gave as good as she got from Morrow, and certainly played a much better overall game. [/QUOTE]
