I've got no problem with U-Conn continuing to play. It would be more insulting if they just slowed it up and didn't try. This is even worse than the Stanford game last year. For those of you that follow womens basketball, does Stanford have a chance against U-Conn?

We ARE slow. I noticed that against GB. We get buy with fancy schemes and outside-shooting. We have very little team speed.
Case in point about the refs: Poppens in position, gets a rebound. UConn player comes flying in from 10 feet away, decks Poppens who loses the ball, but ISU retains possession. Ref apparently concludes contact did not give UConn an advantage, hence no call. Sorry, but that's a foul, and UConn doesn't need that kind of advantage.
Agree completely. I think it's amazing what Bill does year in and year out but if we ever want to have a realistic chance of winning it all we have to get more athletic.
Yeah I think our fans tend to forget what an advantage we have had some of these years playing at "home" in the 1st 2 rounds. Quite frankly, if we didn't play Green Bay on our home court I don't think we would have gotten by them.
Have most people given up on watching this game? The post rate has slowed way down.
Is anyone else amazed at UConn's defense? They seem to just go about their business on offense, but on D, dammmnnnn.
I am afraid of what would happen if UConn pushed for the whole game with their press and aggression.
There is no way to even say that we might win 1 out of 10 if given the opportunity.

UConn beat Stanford by 12 earlier this season; the smallest margin of victory by UConn in this 75 game run.
It's frustrating, but that's the way it is. They can hand check us out to 25 feet to start the game, and that sets the tone for the game. Roy Williams always said he did that at KU, do everything they could early to force the ref's to swallow the whistle. Smart, if you've got the depth. We haven't shot a free throw. Are you telling me, we didn't get fouled on any shots? Ever?
THANK YOU!!! I have read a page of womens hoops talk without complaints of no hand checking calls or traveling!!!
CLASSIC!!!!!!:biglaugh:
Your just saying that because you play 60 year olds down at the rec center
Actually the older guys get mad if you run by them on a fastbreak. They feel you shouldn't use your speed to your advantage.
That's why it's tough to play against old guys like Clones_Jer
I think they have a glimmer of a chance if UConn has a bad night.
But then again, UConn having a bad night is an oxymoron.
Wouldn't hand checking help the less athletic team, like ISU. UCONN has the speed, and no reason to hand check. On top of it, if refs are not calling hand checking, it means you can do it as well.
