Play of the Game - UConn vs Baylor

[bluedevil]

Sure Baylor never thought they would lose when they started to pull away. Sorry that Didi got hurt. Unfortunately, that's basketball. Abrosimova, Ralph, Bird, Tuck, Samuelson. Did I miss any?

Not the play of the game, but one that bothers me:

In the first half, Aubrey drove hard to the basket and plowed into Didi Richards, and a charge was called. Physically, it was undoubtedly a charge -- Didi's feet were set and Aubrey hit her in the midsection.

BUT, Didi was the secondary defender (having moved from one side of the court to where she took the charge), and she was standing right in the middle of the restricted arc. Doesn't that make the play a blocking foul on her?

It should....guess rules are made to be broken..

First play of the game. Paige drives right towards the baseline and hits a 12 footer swish over the outstretched hands of the Defensive Player of the Year. Message sent, "I'm on the big stage and I'm not waiting for the game to come to me tonight."

There was a stat on SC that Paige had a better efficiency on contested shots than uncontested shots

To me the worst no call of the game was Olivia getting tripped from behind by a Baylor player during a fast break. The officials were awful.

She tripped over her own feet....I rewound it a couple times to clarify.

From the 4:33 mark of the 4th quarter, Baylor only scored 6 more points, all from the charity stripe. So the best play of the game, our defense down the stretch.

This isn’t yet another grievance thread. We’ve got enough of those
