Message: [QUOTE="CardHack, post: 2672227, member: 8566"] I have watched the replay of the flurry at midcourt of the Title Game multiple times and I swear I don't think MS State was in the bonus; minimally they get the ball side out at around midcourt (or does it advance?) with that four to six seconds on the clock. If you're old school of the 'the ball don't lie" pickup theory...Ogunbowale's shot is how the game should end. It would have been criminal if they swallowed the whistle as McCowan fouled and they allowed the snowbird basket for the win; in fact I'd almost demand some sort of federal inquiry. A commentator locally was saying if it's a foul at the end of the first half it should be a foul to end the game...and the play on Myesha Hines-Allen was a foul no matter how you slice it. Personally I had the biggest problem with the second she got levied because there was minimal at best contact, certainly compared to how Asia Durr was enduring running the baseline or off the ball or how we were bump jammed turning the corner on pick-and-rolls. That said my impression of the six or seven games I attended in person for UofL this year coupled with watching innumberable games is that the officiating in WCBB is exceptionally inconsistent. Normally when you are in a league there are some generalities you can rely on from game-to-game in the men's game, i.e. the Big East was always hand-to-hand in the lane, the Big Ten was physical on the backboards, the whistle was tight in the ACC. In the women's game there isn't that generality; there are common officials but it doesn't seem like common crews. [/QUOTE]
