Save some time and blacken both her eyes.

They were mistaken.

Replay shown during the game was from behind the basket, not over mid court as the one posted here. From behind the basket, it looked like the elbow was out there already and Lou didn't see it, but walked right into it. From this angle, it looks like the elbow went swinging back...whether she knew Lou was there or not is up for speculation.

They were mistaken.

I agree 100%. I was just stating how the ESPN crew, especially Kara, was adamant that it was Lou's fault.

 

[Kaizen]

How can Lou run into the kid's elbow? See yourself ..

 

[connie]

After watching the replay I think it was the other way around

Wow! From that angle, it sure looks like a foul. I am not faulting the refs (don’t know how they see half of what’s going on). But Lou was sliding over, and whoever on TX stepped down into the lane to cut off penetration, arm moving back. What a shot. Don’t know the rules enough to know whether it is incidental contact.

Elbow above your shoulder is normally a flagrant 1 at the minimum, it was a foul regardless of what the crew said.

In the NFL, you do that to a quarterback, they call roughing.

Doesn’t matter. Many fouls are inadvertent but fouls nevertheless. That was a foul no matter what the talking heads thought.

On the replay #31 for Texas starts at the FT line and takes 2 steps back, with elbow high, and hits Lou. I dont think she did it intentionally but it was a foul that at least should have been looked at by the officials. Lou didnt walk into #31.

Ummm... not to be argumentative in the least... but it must not have been a foul since of course it wasn't called a foul by the only people involved in the game with the authority to make such a call... just sayin'. maybe they didn't see it? maybe they thought it was a "no call"... MY Point was simply to explain that the replay shown during the game was from a different angle that did not definitively show the impact and movement of the elbow. If it weren't for the black/blue/swollen eye, SOME on this board would have said Lou was doing a "flop" had she gotten the foul called... again... just sayin'.

I didn't see it real time but after that replay it seemed to clearly be a foul by the rules. Not intentional but a foul nontheless.

Even Rebecca blamed her. Bad B.

If Lou run into the kid's elbow her face would be forward to the kid, not be hit and faced backward.

I only saw the 2nd and 3rd quarter. Is this what Geno was barking about before the 2nd half started?

 

[stamfordhusky]

Intent doesn't matter. If you hit someone in the eye with an elbow, the call goes against you.

Not true at all. Lots of times players are moving their arms in a normal legal fashion and happen to contact someone who is moving. Frequently no foul should be called.

 

[01Neaggrad02]

That replay makes me angry that the refs were so terrible. That was a foul....

 

[UConnCat]

It was more Rebecca than Kara who was adamant about what happened.

Thanks to Lou's mom for video evidence that the elbow flew in to lou's face.

 

[pvdoggy]

I remember a play from last year sometimes where Lou was running on a break with her hand flinging backward and hit one of the other team player in the throat area by accident and the ref stopped the game to look at the film and called a flagrant foul on Lou, I think.

 

[UConnCat]

She knows the line too

Lou and some of her teammates look too happy. They should read this board and that'll be cured.

 

[UConnCat]

Rebecca admitted on twitter she was wrong about the play and apologized to Lou's face.

 

[Carnac]

Apparently she managed to walk/run into the elbow or forearm. She has the knack. Gonna be a beaut tomorrow.

If this keeps up, perhaps she'll have to resort to wearing "goggles" like Kareem and James Worthy did.
The injury to her eye (depth perception) may have been the reason she missed those 2 free throws late in the game. Not making excuses, just saying maybe.

 

[MSGRET]

The Refs should have stopped the game and looked at the replay, since Lou had to leave the game.

 

[LasVegasYank]

Just found out from another thread that it was Rebecca Lobo who claimed that KLS "ran into" the Texas players elbow. Just wow.

She should call herself Rebecca Elbo from now on.

Darn right! Where do they get off hootin' and hollerin' just cuz they won the game! The nerve.

 

[HoopsFan21]

How come only Katie Lou's dad attends the games? Doesn't the rest of the family want to come see her play?
