Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 2052614, member: 961"] My recollection is only vague, but it came toward the end of the first half and had to do with the management of time. Collier had gotten her third foul and you could see that UConn rreally wanted to get someone (Nat or Crystal) in to replace her. Tulane vey quickly -- before UConn could do that -- put the ball in play, which prevented UConn from making the substitution and forced UConn to play with Collier and her three fouls laying off the player(s) she was guarding. Just a little thing, but those add up. It would have bn monumental if Collier had picked up a fourth foul at that point, and the way the refs were calling the game, who could know what would happen\? I have to believe Tulane was deliberate in the decision to get the ball in quickly. And as for the rest, you're right. The Tulane players played the game of their lives, and I have to admit it was fun to watch, even from the other side. [/QUOTE]
