UConn vs Baylor Post Game Interviews

[azfan]

I am glad Geno threw it back to Michelle Voepel when she said even Lebron and Geno's daughter said it was a foul.

As always Geno's response was dead on. I also appreciate the way he uses humor.

Michelle was rather bush league bring Geno's daughter into the presser. Why not talk about an old guy who was sitting in Arizona and thought it was a wonderful no call. Probably a lot more important things to explore in a limited opportunity to ask coach a question.

Ridiculous and wrong for the media (2 articles on ESPN already) to focus on “controversial no call.” I counted at least 4 fouls that Baylor got away with throughout the game.

As soon as ESPN realizes they need to hype the FF games, this will go into the dustbin of history.

Already, Peck brought up how Paige was used as a trampoline (my words)

I didn't watch live (thank goodness). I listened to a little of Carrington and a little of Mulkey and all I heard was complaining. So I skipped those and listened to Paige and Geno. I love Paige's humbleness (if that's a word), and Geno's practicle philosophy. I'm glad they won, but wished they were a little kinder to my heart.... It's still beating a mile a minute and I can't get off the edge of my seat.

That's the problem when you think one play changed the outcome. Feel sorry for Didi Richards. However, UConn has lost a number of players during the tournament: Svetlana, Shea, Sue, Caroline, Morgan, Katie Lou. Probably missed somebody. It's part of the game. Who can stay healthy.

I seem to remember that Jessica Moore played with a blown out knee. Supposedly, playing wouldn't have made it worse and she was able to play through the pain. To me, that wins any badass award that you care award.

That was me.

Wow, I can appreciate being disappointed about the loss, but it was a really bad look for them to be whining about a no call at the end of play and be begging people for articles.

Bout to be tons of irritated people at the amount of Bueckers hype you will see over the next 5-6 days. ESPN will wear out those Big Game Bueckers bumpers coming out of commercial breaks.

 

[chrissaran]

Speak it, Geno. Speak it, EricLA. Go UConn! Woof! Woof!

This is typical Mechelle Voepel fare. She's more comfortable as a gossip columnist than as a sports journalist.

I don’t know what was going on here

 

[MilfordHusky]

DiDi missed about 12 minutes to injury. Nika missed 40 minutes.

She’s obviously unbalanced.

 

[SECbbfan24]

She’s obviously unbalanced.

Probably downed a few shots after that game. I know I did

Bad game to watch if you have a heart condition but it was fun

POST OF THE NIGHT CONGRATULATIONS ?

and no-call here, DiJonai holding Paige:

I hope Paige will embrace and have fun having the target on her back. That is where a little extra channeling of DT would help.

Exactly four years ago, with seconds left, Saniya Chong dribbled into the lane and no foul was called on the Miss State defender who contested Saniya's shot. Free throws would have won that Final Four game for UConn. I do not recall Geno or Saniya whining through any post-game interviews.

"So a call is a call, and you got to live with it." Geno

He also said it clear: lots of fouls in the first half against UConn and not Baylor. How come those fouls committed by Baylor were not called.

 

[hart2hart]

Classy UCONN.
Not-so-classy Baylor.
Where’s the props Kim?
Glad Geno is our coach.
On to Arizona!!

I think its pretty bad when one of our alumni goes on twitter and complains about the call. If you think it, you don't have to say it publicly. I'm sorry I have to say it, but just shut up Swin.

I'll repeat what someone said earlier because I think it is worth repeating. The refs decided early on that they were going to allow contact and let the players play. For them to change the way they were calling the game with less than 5 seconds to go would have been unconscionable. I blame the media more than anyone. They did their best to create a controversy rather than report on a truly great game. Shame on them.

Lost a little respect for Swin and and Geno's daughter. You can say the last play was a foul, but to discredit what these ladies did for the entire game against a very very aggressive Baylor defense and many non calls that went Baylor's way is again taking away from the game and the girls who played in a great battle. Stinks that we get lost on how awesome this game was because of the many different runs.

I'm proud of the way Paigea and UCONN handled this and hope they use it as motivation. If ANYONE should be complaining from refs in this game it should be PAIGE BUCKETS.

Haven't started Yet.

Bitter much. Suck it up Baylor. Not one foul was called against Baylor until close to 3 minutes left in the half. At that time Edwards and Ono had a combined 5 fouls. I call BS
