NCAA Tourney

In case you missed it, she's had an amazing life already! http://texassports.com/news/2016/9/...-aborowa-basketball-found-me.aspx?path=wbball

 

She IS eligible for redshirt...period...

 

They thought Joyner had hit the ASU player with an elbow. That's pretty much an automatic check to verify whether or not it happened. Nothing new there.

The second part where ASU 33 threw Alecia down is pretty much the, imo, the same as type of foul as when Alecia shoved the player guarding her away with two hands and also got called for the foul. Fouls created by the defensive player doing their job. I was more worried that Alecia might twist an ankle when she went down.

 

So happy for Mide. You can just tell that she doesn't feel comfortable getting compliments in front of others, but she smiled (and probably blushed) through it; just a very humble kid, IMO.

 

Ummm... watch that again. A shove is one thing and happens all the time. Grabbing someone from behind and yanking them to the ground - even the TV announcers were shocked. And the ref was right there. If that’s not unsportsmanlike, I don’t know what is. Kind like that soccer player a few years back grabbing girls by the hair and yanking them to the ground.

 

Baylor goes down! Wow that's a bit of a shock as most felt they had one of the easiest paths through to the Elite 8. Wonder if Bear fans will still complain about seeding after they got a Sweet 16 matchup with a 6 seed, and still lost!

 

Of course they’ll whine. It’s Baylor, it’s what they do.

 

Teaira McCowan impressed the hell out of me last night against Louisville. She set the NCAA tournament record in rebounds with 25 to go along with 21 points but 45 (minutes) was the number that blew my mind. She never left the floor in an overtime game and kept herself out of foul trouble.

 

Great long story about an amazing young woman's growth--and not just in height!

Did anyone happen to notice that the ref that put the tech on the Louisville player was the same ref that put the tech on Aston in the Big 12 championship game?

 

I did not know it was the same referee. Here's an article on the description of the technical.
