36-30 UW at half.

@TheFarmFan ’s favorite ref is on the court. No rest for the best official in the West!

Not missing a beat after working the Mountain West final late last night, where she called her standard quota of ticky tack fouls.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Proof positive that Wynn has the program moving in a positive direction.

Year 1: 12th
Year 2: 11th
Year 3: 9th

The improvement curve is actually accelerating.

I was hoping for a bigger jump this year. Win totals have gone from 1 to 2 to 5 in conference. Woulda coulda shoulda this year, several games that got away from them, record easily could've been quite a bit better. What happens next year w/ no Melgoza to carry the offense? I have a hard time seeing the upward trend continuing.

This is where you’re supposed to say “but all the other players have been deterring to her. They’ll step up, I know they can!”

Coach Graves is the halftime guest, doing some scouting for their next opponent.

As you recently said, I call it like I see it.

Oh, you're right, Rooks, Griggsby and Pleskovich are totally gonna light it up next season...

7-0 Utah run, now only trailing by 1.

 

[nwhoopfan]

What?! Melgoza was diagnosed w/ ADHD after her Fr. year, I've never heard that before.

I think many people on this site have yet to be diagnosed with ADHD...

 

[nwhoopfan]

Melgoza has gone cold and picked up her 3rd foul. Maxwell heating up for Utah. All tied at 42, about mid Q3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

When did blocking out become a foul? Whole lotta whistles going in Utah's favor in Q3. Utes up 2 now.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Wynn doing stupid offense/defense subbing w/ Melgoza, but it keeps meaning she's not on the floor. Game getting away from them this quarter. 49-42. Maxwell killing them, has 11 this quarter I believe.

Trying to protect her from getting a 4th foul, which would be disastrous.

That's the theory. But the game is totally getting away from them now, they can't score.

 

[nwhoopfan]

UW closely studied ASU's 2nd half collapse and are trying to duplicate it.

I think it was someone else who said you call it like you see it. I then added that you have very exacting standards

 

[Plebe]

Hahaha another Missy Barlow special

 

[nwhoopfan]

Melgoza has gone cold, 1-5 this quarter I think.

Pendande w/ an elbow to Melgoza's head, refs don't even look at it. Doesn't look much different than the intentional foul called against Cal in the earlier game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

52-48 thru Q3.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Kiana Moore has repeatedly literally put her hand ON Melgoza's face when guarding her. That can't be legal can it? Should get T'd up for that crap.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Was down to 2, now an 8 point lead for Utah. Maxwell up to 17, I think she had 3 in the first half.

So now Utah is the dirtiest team in the conference? Maybe Rueck should call a press conference about this.

Have you ever seen that before? Would you be concerned if someone was doing that to a UConn player? "Get a hand in her face" is a phrase, but I've never seen it done literally.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Gylten drains a 3 as the shot clock was expiring.

oops, toe on the line, still a big clutch shot

 

[nwhoopfan]

TOs are about even, but it's been a tale of 2 halves in that regard. UW turning it over like crazy in 2nd half.

UW looked just about dead in the water down 10, but a 3 and and-1 back to back give them some life.

Griggsby stepping up for UW.

Oops, missed the FT.
