If this situation unfortunately occurred with ONO during March Madness ... would ONO be labeled as a "no show" ... or would the Refs take the fall? Asking for a friend.
She’d be labeled!! You know it and I know it.
It’s here, the post season tournament that every team in division one wcbb has been working toward. Each game is unique unto itself. You focus solely on the next game taking nothing for granted. You cannot look ahead. You scout and prepare for THAT team.
ONO can’t do any “magic tricks“ from this point forward if UConn is going to win and advance. I looked at the box score of every game Collier has played at Texas out of curiosity, just to see what might have been.
That non-performance yesterday had to change the perception in the minds of some coaches and GM’s. When I looked at the box score and saw that she only had 3 points in their biggest game of the year, I thought the same thing. She didn’t show up. She disappeared.
ONO can’t disappear and UConn still wins. ONO, Christyn and Paige all have to show up and play BIG for them to win. If that trio can produce at least 55+ points, that may be enough with their teammates contributing the balance needed to win, assuming they play some semblance of defense.
UConn is not the same team with her on the bench. Olivia is doing better lately with keeping her hands to herself. You know she’s being told every day by coaches and teammates that she must stay on the floor and not give away cheap fouls.
