The announcers asserted it was a great defensive effort in the 2nd half. Good, certainly. I only recall one shot clock expiration. Albany was getting shots away, maybe not the best. They were 4 of 26 in the 2nd half (3 at the start, 1 at the end). I will say Albany got fewer FT in the 2nd half than I would expect.
For those that don't notice the refs, we had both Kevin and Missy today. I'm glad it was in a game we were expected to win easily.
First, a couple of compliments. My current eyeglasses broke, so I'm wearing a slightly older pair with not quite the right prescription. At the start of the game, from the upper seats, I thought that looked like Missy. Same hair, and shoulders and movements, but she's more in basketball shape that in the previous few years, enough so I couldn't be sure it was her. Good for her And I appreciated Kevin giving high fives to the kids & the band as they exited the floor after the conga.
Q2 4:25. Missy, that defender was moving several feet when you called that charge on Agara.
Q2 3:35. Kevin, what about Appendix II, Rule 2, when you called the foul on Bosgana
Quote:A foul shall be ruled when: 5. The screener sets a screen outside the visual field of a stationary defender (“blind” screen) that doesn’t allow the defender a normal step to move.
Q3 5:54. M T, read the rules. I thought the charge should have been a block because the defender was in the painted restricted area. The rules have changed this year. The painted circle near the basket no longer applies. A defender is in the (new) restricted area only if any part of her is under the basket.
I had the same reaction on first seeing Missy. Thot it was her, but not sure, no, yes?? She really looks so much fitter, also much younger. But will it make her a better red? At any rate, good for her
