Message: [QUOTE="wbball novice, post: 3121016, member: 8663"] My theory is that Arike regretted the Dangerfield clothesline and ESPN's repeated showing of her buzzer-beaters. She realized that with the Cox injury and Baylor's overwhelming beat down of Notre Dame, her team didn't really deserve the win because of a free throw. Anyway, she scored 31 timely points and damn well carried her team through the first half and was instrumental in their comeback. Really nothing left to prove. Plus there was the need to atone for her coach's unseemly attack on male privilege and her school's years of paying off the referees. Not saying she missed intentionally, but subconscious guilt and yearning for redemption temporarily short circuited her muscle memory. She works in mysterious ways. [/QUOTE]
