Hello!
I attended the game last night
Was worth it after putting in a long two days of work so that I can attend this game
After reading most of the posts on the boneyard.. wanted to clarify on few things that I saw in person that might have not been shown on the TV.
That Geno's Technical... That was a big bad on the referee's part. The Ref was standing maybe 6-7 feet away and called foul on Kelly, who was clearly in her place. I sat in the 6th row on the same side where the foul occured so I had the clear view. CLEARLY was not a foul. No question! I can understand why Geno was very ticked off. Geno actually went almost halfway onto the court and the big CD had difficult time controlling Geno. He so angry that he swore at the ref , which was clearly audible across the court. I think that was immediately after when the T was assessed so I was surprised the ref did not eject him. I also was disappointed that the ref who called the foul did not confer with other ref who was under the basket who also had the clear view of the foul.
Regarding the Posts- Dolson played horribly. She did not hustle as much as I remember seeing her doing at the DePaul game that I also saw in person. The pass into the post was good , however she fumbled with the ball and had a couple of turnovers. Her energy was not there. As for Stokes, I thought she played well so I was mystified as to why she was benched because she had a couple of good blocks or almost-blocks. However, the guards were not passing the ball to Stokes when she was clearly open a few times so I think Geno wanted to give the guards message that if they are not passing the ball into the post, they might as well play in the post themselves.
I stayed after the game to wait to see some of the players. After around half hour the players came out to sign autographs for some of the kids who stayed around. Dolson was sobbing and clearly very upset. Kara Wolters (I think it was her, the person who did the radio) had to comfort her and talked a bit to her. On other hand, Kiah Stokes came out smiling so I found it odd that Dolson would come out crying and Kiah was smiling.
And NO.. all calls after the T did not go the uconn's way.. one marquette player fouled out with 30 seconds remaining....
I wanted to record the game on the TV to see if I somehow sneaked on the TV since I had a good seat in the 6th row. Sad to say that, Although I live in Milwaukee, I did not receive the channel 32 that was doing the game as it was only for the Time Warner Customer only. UGH...
