Standford is suppose to be the smart kids

[asuwish]

The end of the game Stanford did not play smart.

The end of the game Stanford did not play smart.

Boston pushed the Stanford into the lane and refs negated the FT. Put that one away for the future -- push your opponent into the lane in close games.

 

[Hayven]

To be fair, Stanford was playing 5 against 8 on the court.

 

[Blue Ghost]

Refs missed a couple calls against SC.
In the end SC was too physical (bigs) and too fast (guards) for Stanford.

Let's see, Stanford loses to a higher ranked team, so they should now automatically, and without fanfare, be moved to eleventh in the polls. After all they lose to s.carolina and have 3 losses. This is the new norm now i would guess.

What do the rules say about that? Hard to tell if Boston pushed her, leaned on her, gave her a nudge, whatever, but let's say she did and the refs acknowledge it, what happens then?

Nothing.

Stanford had 20 turnovers to S.C. having 7....that was the biggest difference.

Another shining example of how the officiating in women's college basketball is second rate and how it continues to deliver embarrassment more than anything else just as the sport is becoming mainstream.

In key moments, Boston shoved Brink who fell down after a missed free throw, then she pushed the Stanford player into the lane for a violation. Tara is supposed to be this great coach. She should have been in their faces for a review if possible or at least to support her player. How about the 3 by Henderson to end the half? Clear foul on the shot. No call.

I have said it over and over again. The way the games are blown is sexist. They allow far more contact than the men are allowed. Why? I believe it is because the officials feel that they are only girls or young women, they can't hurt each other. They all need sensitivity training because the calls and non-calls are horrendous in any big game.

Hull should have been pulled. She didn't have a prayer against Henderson. Too slow.

 

[Kaizen]

Stanford lost the game because of the refs. not because South Carolina is better.

Dead ball foul. They have rules to cover that.

But how many of those TO's were cause by uncalled SC fouls? It looked like a LOT to me.

 

[ReadR00ster]

You want to whine about pushing and shovin? Well, don't every play NC state or UGA omg that is all they do.

 

[ReadR00ster]

Dead ball foul. They have rules to cover that.

You are not living it reality. Boston gets the same calls Griner and Dela Done get's because they are tall and don't go out of their way to foul. You are predisposed against her so you see her as fouling but she is really not.

 

[FedupFred]

Geno once said that to beat the Vols in Knoxville, you better be leading by 18 with less than 2 minutes to go.

Same thing here

I believe they call a foul on Boston. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t believe that negates the 2nd foul shot by the shooter. She takes her second shot, then Belibi takes her two shots if Stanford was in the bonus.

I’m not 100% sure, but I think that would be the call. If Stanford was not in the bonus, I believe they would be awarded possession of the ball out of bounds. As nutmeg said, it’s a dead ball foul because the clock is not running.

Replay showed no clear evidence of a push, only a lean, and Bielibi bit on the lean. maybe a light push on the back, that's all it takes, but you don't get a clear view of such

 

[Sluconn Husky]

Boston fouled Hull on the FT miss that wasn't called anyway. Not to mention the shove that sent Jones flying and resulted in a three for SC.

Refs deserve to at least be co number ones next week.

 

[ReadR00ster]

you are seriously trying to blame Boston for Belebi stepping into the lane first, you are nuts?

Yeah that’s a mature way of looking at the situation.

 

[Vowelguy]

The bigger problem was Brinks shot. Terrible decision making.

all Boston did was box her out Belibi is responsible for her own actions

 

[Ron and Vida]

Henderson had 7 steals and 17 points and played smart
Without her Stanford doesn’t lose refs or not

Only reason anyone is talking about it was because ESPN brought it up and kept showing the replay which raised an interesting question. No one is blaming Boston. I thought Belibi just got over her skis so to speak.
