Geno on Lou

After the layup? I saw the kid swing her arms at Lou

Check out the replay within the replay of the game. Between the 7th and 6th minute of the fourth quarter Lou’s layup is replayed from the angle of the floor camera behind the basket which is a lot closer to the action and the arm swing appears to be more severe. Whether it was an intentional hit or an attempt to avoid a collision you will have decide for yourself.

That’s what I saw during the game

@#12in21 Maybe they could put in Amari for a minute or two, let her have a couple of VERY HARD screens where the opposing offender gets knocked to the floor a couple of times.:rolleyes:

So do you want to use Amari as Dave Schultz of the Broad Street Bully era Flyers?

Exactly. I was trying to make sure everyone went to the best view. It is difficult to see it from the replay in post #23.

To bad it is so critical for Nika to remain on the court. I imagine she’d be happy to serve as her buddy Lou’s body guard and knock a few of the perpetrators on their butts with some hard screens.

I could see that, with Lou saying "Say Hello To My Little Friend"!!

So what is Geno to do about rough play? I don't think yelling at a ref accomplishes much except raise the possibility that the team committing the rough play gets two free throws and the ball.

Wow, as you said, Forego, each person needs to decide for her/himself what the Providence player did. However, it seems a bit of paranoia about rough play which has beset Lou has set in here on the BY. On this play, from both the camera angle during the game and then the later from the camera on the floor, all I saw was Lou turning into the Providence player along the baseline after her layup and the Providence player reflexively putting her hands up to avoid a collision.

How anyone could make that up to be the rival player trying to clothesline Lou and/or swinging 'severely' at her is beyond my imagination. Lou takes lots of heavy hits each game, but this was not even close to one of them.

Agreed!!! I remember thinking there was something there and then saw the replay and realized no contact and nothing untoward. Lou doesn't complain and she is no stranger to pointing out contact if it happens.

No kidding. Zoom in on this one.

IMO there should be no debate whether or not this was intentional or not. When you going for ball your fingers are extended like Providence player #1 not shaped like a claw as are #5’s. Looks like #5 is trying to use the “five point palm exploding heart technique” to gouge Lou’s eye out. Did the officials even call a foul on the play and was it an intentional 2? #5 should be suspended for the remainder of her eligibility. Lou might want to consider borrowing Ayanna’s googles for the remainder of the season.

I agree. I think she has a soft game and when it is physical she struggles. UCONN can't afford a game to be called close with the bench in it's current state.

I've seen her drive the lane through all kinds of contact and finish beautifully and hit numerous jump shots while being guarded closely.......she may be worn down and hit a wall but she has certainly performed above and beyond expectations.....

I am reminded of the comments made about Cheryl Miller during the Championship game in 1986 against Texas. They said she had been subject to so much abuse during games her senior year that it was a wonder she could still walk. They said she had had "4 stitches over her eye, a concussion, and a sprained neck" and she was playing in her final game with a broken finger (her ring finger on her left hand). She was playing with a large white bandage that tied the broken finger to her middle finger.

I posted this in the postgame thread but watch the Providence player after Lou’s layup

Respectfully, I don't see intentional contact there, Note that neither player is looking at the other at the moment of contact, and there was zero reaction from Lou as she ran back up court. Then again, "basketball is a game of subtle felonies."

It's the shots to the head that are constantly going on in games that needs to be taken out of our game. 5 is smacking her in the head and putting a finger in Lou's eye. Our players are tough but toughness doesn't prevent concussions or eye injuries.

Law suits will eventually occur with all videos as evidence against the game of officiating and game agendas!

@Rowdy831, are you suggesting that Lou “has a soft game”? I’m sure you’re joking. Haha!!
