At the old University Hall, they drew about 14,000 for a game against Maryland, when I think both teams were Top 10, maybe Top 5. It was probably expunged because the capacity for U Haul was about 8800. It violated fire code, and there were fines and much wrist slapping involved IIRC.

As much as I despised Maryland, I wish we could trade away BC or Syracuse for them right now. Miss those rivalries.

I was at the only sellout for a women's game ever at Hec Ed (Univ. of Washington). Capacity is 10,000, that was the official attendance listed, but I'm certain there were more people in the building. There was literally nowhere to sit during the first half. I was sitting on the steps in the aisle, along with quite a few other people (another fire code violation, yeah?). Some people moved at halftime and I got a seat. There was also a large side room set up with a tv showing the game out in the concourse and there were people in there.

It's amazing how moving screens are quite effective in getting a shooter open.

Did you actually see it? Seemed like a very questionable call to me.

Not questionable at all to me. The screener never gets set and literally walks into the defender to set the screen. If this isn't a moving screen then nothing is.

See 1:14:15 mark. (Watch it in real time since their replay truncates the action.)

I'm going off my memory. I thought the defender initiated contact with the screener. I saw it live, and they showed a replay, it didn't seem like a blatant moving screen to me. I also seem to recall there was no way the defender was going to get to Amoore to challenge the shot whether there was any movement from the screener or not.

And this is why I linked the video and provided the time stamp, so as not to rely on faulty memory or misleading truncated replays.

Amoore also had a 3pt swish waved off late in the game due to an illegal screen being called.

You realize that Amoore played way, way above her season percent averages right? She has no business being considered for any POY award as any metric scoring rating shows she is solely a volume shooter. She might truly be the 2nd best player on this VPI team but that alone should not qualify her any conference or national PoY consideration. It’s as if none of the analysts or commentators look at her numbers with any intelligence.

I was commenting on Amoore's game against UVA, period.
Where you came up with any association with my post and POY awards is beyond me.

I've been pushing for someone to take BC away from us for many years here at The Boneyard and there have been no takers. Which means, The Conte Forum will continue to serve as a funeral parlor and a
dungeon for, possibly, the remaining days of our lives.

Now with SMU, Stanford and Cal in the mix, the ACC will just seem more boring than it already is...

With Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC, things are going to be a BLAST!!!!!

In women's basketball, I hope we get a Longhorn-Gamecock rivalry started in women's basketball. I know Vic and Dawn had a thing doing back when he was at MSU...

While I agree the ACC writers put her on the first team all ACC.
