But didn't she work both games that KML suffered injuries... that could have been prevented had the game been called tighter?
I heard a fan call the ref an , loud and clear. Never heard him after that - I wonder ifthe fan was asked to keep his insults PG rated.
That was great. He said, "They don't need anymore help you " (BTW, he was wrong, good play by us.). And what about that old lady on the bottom right going crazy about that travel no call, standing up doing the travel signal? (She was right). Great crowd, loud and I didn't see a rush to the exits late during the blowout. Good reffing job, too.
Agree. A great environment for WBB and one that ill be sad to see go next year.
22k is bigger than a lot of MBB games...
With about 3,000 tickets left they were from $9 to $18. Not out of line.what was the price of the tickets?
Notah Begay (golf). Jacoby Ellsbury (now a Yankee).
There is a post game by Jeff on another thread and he talks about Shoni and Jude going on a tour of reservations over the last summer and how some venues had large Native turnouts during this season. He mentioned Oklahoma and Memphis in particular.Shoni's a big deal to Native people all over the country.
Native women have it pretty bad by and large especially those who stay on reservations. Most of them get pregnant at a very young age and end up single mothers. They suffer a lot of abuse from their spouses and either or both of them have drug and alcohol problems. It's the way it is.
These two girls have managed to capture the Native American imagination across the country because they're rising above all that. You don't see any or many Native men doing the same thing.
And of course senior night with four seniors. Helped also that Louisville had a chance to tie for the AAC crown and that the opponent was undefeated and #1 in the land. It is nice that this was not a free beer night or a free race horse night, but rather all about the basketball, the teams involved and the players. Not sure if the 'Native American Appreciation' theme had any discounting involved but I think not - just a public thank you to the tribes that have turned out both in Louisville and everywhere else Louisville has played this year. The were native americans performing I gather before the game and during the time-outs - would have been nice if ESPN had shown a few clips during the halftime telecast.One, I think that they are serious about WBB in Louisville. Angel does have a statue outside the YUM after all. Two, I think it has been widely reported that Native Americans from 38 states came to see Shoni on her senior night. Great that we prevailed in an atmosphere where the home teams fans were very into the game.

Good Question...Surely you have some reliable documentation to verify your revelations about typical (or is it stereotypical?) behavioral patterns of young Native-American women and men.
I've been around it my entire life. I am a "Native American". Been to reservations a lot but would not want to live on one. No jobs, a lot of alcohol addiction etc etc.Surely you have some reliable documentation to verify your revelations about typical (or is it stereotypical?) behavioral patterns of young Native-American women and men.

Go to one and spend a week or two on one if you don't believe me. YOU ARE ASSUMING PEOPLE HAVEN'T
The very concept of a "reservation" is unique to the U.S.
SOME Americans still refer to Native people of the U.S. as "Indians" which is ignorant as...
We're not from India.

It was the qualifier that I added for the reason you suggest. I, too, have Native American background on my mother's side. It is never safe to make assumptions without alliance's. I have been to a number of "reservations" although I prefer the term " native lands" or "tribal lands."Seems to me that someone who is Native American and represents that they have spent a lot of time in/on reservations is perfectly entitled to make general comments with reasonable qualifiers like "by and large" and "most," particularly as these comments were not made as any kind of snarky rejoinder.
If you are implying that Kib is also Native American, or has spent a lot of time on reservations, why don't you offer that info? I honestly don't know the answer to that. If he is, and if he has spent time on reservations, he can offer that in due time and the two posters can compare notes in this thread if they choose. Otherwise, you were not on that reply, Kib was. There is nothing in Striper's post that implies any "assumption" about anyone else's experiences/knowledge of life on reservations.
RE: "Indians" you raise a good point as a lot more people use the term Native American today than in the past.
I am too lazy to look for it, but there have been academic/scientific studies done dealing with social issues on reservations that do support your personal experiences. I am not sure how conditions have changed with the large influx of casino money over the last couple of decades, but I suspect as with other areas where casinos are legal, the advertised benefits to the societies during the legalization fight have seldom been really successfully translated to the lower ends of those societies.I've been around it my entire life.
