I recorded the game, did not look like push to me but looked like she tripped, I did not see a foul. Ole Miss played an inspired game and could have won, the crowd support was great and I rellly enjoyed the game.
Agree 100%, it was an obvious push in the back right in front of a ref. Such is the way basketball is reffed at pretty much all levels now, the only consistency is inconsistency.
lol . that wasn’t disgraceful. not by a long shot.
Everyone knew Fletcher was a bridge at point due to to Johnson’s injury, but I’m a little surprised to see how completely she’s been sidelined even in big regular season games. I don’t have a problem with it, as I think RJ could become the best backcourt player in program history, but didn’t think the transition would be this obvious so soon
Very much a trap game between some bigger games. SC was asleep for most of the game. The energy was just not there and I'm not sure why. Ole Miss is a good enough team to give anybody a game and Coach Yo does a good job coaching them up. The Ole Miss crowd did their job and the support was nice to see.I know most people (including myself) believe SC primed to repeat, but it's hard to go undefeated through a whole season ...
I didn't watch much of the game, but I'm curious to see what the SC BYers thought of it.
I don't think Boston pushed her. The player was out of control on the spin. If anything, Aliyah was protecting herself from the girl falling into her.
i thibk a lot of folks hoped Raven would start immediately. I sort of thought that it might have to go like this, but I'm not sure what Fletcher adds at this point.
I’ve watched a lot of South Carolina games and the 1 3 1 zone they were playing was the perfect defensive balance to beat South Carolina. It allows for plenty of help defense on the post while still pressuring the back court so they can’t find enough of a rhythm to be comfortable shooting outside. The mistake most teams make is not putting enough pressure on your backcourt in favor of double or tripling the front court. A few games have shown this year the best way to limit South Carolinas frontcourt is by really pressuring the guards.
Are you joking?
You must not have watched the LSU game. Fletcher was critical in the Gamecocks winning that game. She near shut down Alexis Morris, who thrived offensively when she was not on the court. Fletcher still plays a valuable role on this team.
Look, I'm not crazy but we'll never see the play the same. I'm not the only one that saw it that way, but it doesn't matter anyway. Game is over.
Whatever happened...a flop would have probably been a better option. Can't believe I just said that. HahhaaaaaDo you even sport? Someone falling into your knees from the front is much more dangerous than falling into them from behind
Imo if Fletcher had played in the second half the game wouldn’t have gone to overtime. Johnson couldn’t stay in front of their point guard and was making pretty bad decisions offensively. She hit that one three but I thought the team played better with Fletcher on the floor.
I’d add that Boston didn’t seem to be herself. She hits near 80% from the line and went 1-4 in the final minute of regulation, while also missing an admittedly rushed and off balance putback at the buzzer.
Is she injured? Her whole hand was wrapped up and I thought that was odd.
That putback wasn’t the easiest shot in the world, so I didn’t think much of the miss. But by large, that was one of the worst games of Boston’s career.
Yes. In one disgraceful case a foul was correctly called while in the other disgraceful case the refs didn't make the right call.
Even an off balance player cannot be shoved by a defender. Boston put her hand on the player and extended her arm. That's called a push.
