Baylor - suspensions

CYclist said:
Last minute of the game, Tennessee woman gets knocked down and takes offense, Baylor player leans over her saying something, players start pulling them apart and the baylor starters come running off the bench. Pretty tame, but the T's were needed. Looked up the rule too, no suspensions.

I agree with whoever said the women's fundamentals are better. Without a doubt they play the game the right way. Those officials suck so bad though, that other than some ISU games and a rare, rare tourney game, I can't watch this stuff. The O's are always 5 steps behind the play, in the wrong position, calling things completely wrong, and just award the ball to whichever team they want on an out of bounds since they weren't really paying attention to find out who knocked the ball out.

they pass better to open players, better spacing, ball screens that actually work, they box out, hit free throws, do a lot of fundamentals better than the more Athletic Men's version....

Pretty sure I have seen a total of 4 bounce passes in all of womens basketball. And maybe 2 drives to their left with a left hand.
 
Just saw it. That was weak, was hoping more of a Cincy-Xavier brawl. :jimlad:

Nothing looked too serious and no one should get suspended. Griner looked like she was just trying to break something up. The tweets coming in sounded like it was a huge fight.

Interestingly, I think the two players at the center of the altercation (it never turned into a fight) were not ejected and finished the game. It sure seemed that they were taunting each other. I would have been scared to fight either one.

Just watched the highlight of the "altercation" on espn.com. Sims is nothing but a punk of a player. I have hated her attitude since last season. Baylor gets away wiht some real crappy classless acts on the basketball floor. They throuh elbows and forearms when the officials are not watching. Also, lovely ESPN, have to stick up for Griner. The qoute was somethine like - Sims and the Tennessee player get into an altercation and then griner gets ejected for coming off the bench and just trying to keep the peace!

It's not like Griner would actually punch another girl.
 
I was there unreal that it took the refs 15 minutes to just call a double technical. The NCAA President was in attendance and just like when David Stern in the NBA crazy stuff usually happens. I really hope Baylor loses in Denver. Was sitting right next to Baylor fans and it was so unbearable lol. In their opinion they NEVER do anything wrong and the other team is always doing something wrong or illegal. Griner gets away with murder.

I wouldn't blame officiating on the reason why women's basketball is un watchable.

how is that reading comprehension class working for you..?

I said some Basketball purists believe they play better fundamental Basketball...

Never said Women were better players...

I know in you brief 21 year old life you have watched a lot of the Basketball greats.

Maybe go back and watch some again like Cousy, West, Havlicek, Robertson. Then tell me how Athletic they look compared to today's player...

WRONG - This kid can flat out play. I thought she was over hyped too but after watching her play i person this weekend there is some serious banging going on down low. These girls are physical, pushing pulling and scratching biting clawing etc. If you look at her shot it's pretty darn good. If she continues to play, learn and improve she will be the best player to play the game at her level. She is the modern dat Wilt the Stilt

And they fall down all of the time.
 
I was at the game and that little incident at the end was mostly emotions running high. In the first half the refs swallowed their whistles and let the game be a little more physical than it should have then in the 2nd half they were calling everything. I know some aren't Griner fans but I bet you that any women's player in the country does not get as many non-calls going her way purely because every team is so out-matched with her size the only way to contain her is to get physical till they call it consistently. I'm surprised she hasn't gotten into some more fights because if this was a men's game and our top post player was getting pushed on and tangled up all night people would have been calling bloody murder sometimes.

I was sitting next to the TU fans, same attitude different color shirt. TU players were doing the same don't kid yourself. It was hilarious during the review how Pat was saying the TU player was just trying to help her up, I don't think so. How come there is no mention of the TU players leaving their bench also?
