Message: [QUOTE="fomalhaut, post: 4275847, member: 9423"] Considering Connecticut's injury/illness problems all year (continuing even into this game with Nelson-Ododa and Westbrook and Fudd), it was a miracle they even made it this year and even made a game of it at times (I had visions of a miracle rally when they cut it to 6 late); particularly playing against a strong team which had very few injury issues this year. There's no question South Carolina outplayed them tonight. However, if this is the best refereeing we can expect in a national championship game, the NCAA has a big problem. 21 fouls to 11 against a much more physical team is ludicrous, and Boston got away with (among others) a walk where she took two steps from a stationary postion (there was another obvious walk early by one of the other South Carolina players), and one of the most blatant moving screens I've seen this year. She's far too talented to get special treatment from the refs. [/QUOTE]
