OT: Shea gets tossed

[ucmiami2]

Bueckers and Diana had similar shooting stats in games. It happens to some of the best of players.

And much better it happened in the SEC tournament and not in the NCAA. Maybe they lose a couple of spots in the seeding, but meh. That 2023 Diana team famously laid an egg in the BE tournament to snap their streak, but it provided a tension release for the team and they won the next six. I'm sure Shea will point that out to the team, relax, get healthy, and refocus - good things are coming!

Blakes ended up scoring 24 points in 32 minutes which wasn't too shabby.

On 8/27 shooting (29%)?

Well, in this case, it’s absolutely according to the process outlined by the Selection Committee. There is no subjectivity involved.

@oldude do not deprive me of my cherished prejudices!

Chalk it up to a bad game, and disastrous first half. I'm sure Shea will say "you can't play like with did in the first half and expect to win". The team needs to wake up for the NCAA's. For better or worse, now they have a few weeks rest.

She was ejected for coming out on the court and screaming at the official. I don’t think the refs were counting up technical fouls. If they were Shea had 5 or 6 at least. 😎

Shea told the official, "you suck derriere" using a more familiar term.

Genuine question, why did you love it? The reason I ask is if/when Staley or Mulkey does something like this, the reactions I see from some UConn fans is that it's unbecoming, etc.

Personally, I fully understand why Coach Ralph did it and can appreciate why she did. I'm just trying to understand why this seems to be getting a pass when in other cases, it likely wouldn't.

I don't have a problem with it unless it reaches Dan Hurley level. I think a coach has to do it on occasion to protect their players.
