Holy black eye, batman!

[01Neaggrad02]

what happened to Katie Lou's eye? Obviously no foul as the refs did not call anything..... But holy crap

 

[Rema64]

She keeps getting beat up every game and is not getting the calls. I'm gaining more respect for her every game.

She met the business end of Caron-Goudreau’s elbow, but it wasn’t a foul because CG wasn’t swinging the arm or initiating contact really.

 

[jcoton56]

Its a beauty for sure.

 

[ochoopsfan]

She takes a lick'n but keeps on tick'n

 

[Nuyoika]

She was cutting across the lane and CG was backing into the lane arms out and BAM! BTW... How much money do I win for calling Lou's black eye?

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

Intent doesn't matter. If you hit someone in the eye with an elbow, the call goes against you. Also, Lou got fouled on her 3-point shot at the end of the first quarter. No call.

I think Katie Lou represents what the heart and soul of this team is..unbelievable TOUGHNESS. That game had loss written all over it. Instead, 13,000 fans go home talking to themselves about how hard it must be to beat UCONN

Will get her mind off her ankle.

That’s really funny and clever

Katie Lou is amazing. She is abused every game and seldom has the calls go in her favor. That was a foul at the end of the first no question about it. Should it have been a call when she was hit in the face..... some say no.... many say yes..... Katie Lou is the DT, Maya, Tina, Stewie, KML of the team. She has to play through everything and never expect to get a call.

 

[ochoopsfan]

She knows the line too

UConn has already updated the roster

Lou ran into the kids arm

LOL !!!

Gotta love Lou !

 

[Kaizen]

Lou, NPOY .........

Lou ran into the kids arm

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

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.

Priceless. By the way, when she squinted in the middle of the clip, she looks like Carlie to me.

I like that everyone looks upbeat.

Yup, the elbow backed into Lou's face.

But the ESPN crew watched it again in slo-mo and determined that Lou ran into the kid's elbow. "No harm, no foul".

 

[psconn]

THAT is why Geno was in a pow-wow with the refs. IMO, clear Texas foul.

 

[eebmg]

Just saw the rewind clip on the shot to Lou's face. Inadvertent yes but a foul anyway. Lobo was wrong to keep saying Lou's face ran into her elbow.

They were mistaken.

Save some time and blacken both her eyes.

 

[PAHuskeyFan]

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.

 

[Centerstream]

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 ..

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.
