Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 4096186, member: 6927"] I don't think they were intending to "give" it to them. Wasn't watching closely (kinda had it on in the background as I worked on my laptop) but my impression was they were caught out of position numerous times, with a lot of 3's in transition, or drive and kick, or offensive rebound scramble and kick. Stedman and Bambrick had a very quick catch and shoot and hit numerous shots with a player closing fast. What I can't stand about these conference-centric networks is how they act more as cheerleaders and PR agencies than honest broadcast journalism outlets. The hyperbole is nonstop about how every team and every player is just great great great. And speaking of hyperbole, yeah my ears perked up at Close's comments on Osborne. Not sure she said "best guard"; I think she said "most versatile and complete guard", which maybe isn't the same? But whatever, she obviously went to the Muffett McGraw school of overhyping your own players to the annoyance of anyone with half a brain :D At least she had the good sense to not put her above Paige.
