How do the teams compare?

I honestly had forgotten the details of how that game ended. Perhaps a convenient memory lapse.

But as I read this thread I seemed to read that Maya's shot was an airball but Baylor got the rebound. Huh?

How do you rebound an airball?

A shot does not have to hit the rim or the backboard to count as a rebound since one is gaining possession of a missed shot. In this case the shot was long, and Melissa Jones rebounded it on the weak side. My interpretation of the shot clock violation in this case is that Ms Jones did not have possession of the ball before the shot clock expired, thus a violation had occurred. It would have been an easier call if a UConn player had rebounded or even touched the ball. Play would have stopped and the officials would have gone to the monitor to put the correct time on the clock.
