What, no one commented on the call at 1:06 left in the first half???  After all our discussion last week?

Checking the play by play to see what you're referring to...

Oh yes, that one. I noticed it at the time but didn't think to post about it. IMO, it was a legitimate turnover under the rule we discussed. Nivar went out of bounds, came back in while the ball was in the air, and was then the first to touch it.

I don't remember exactly why the ball was in the air. I think a blocked shot, deflected pass, or maybe Nivar tipped it into the air trying to control it before she went out of bounds. Will have to look at the video for that.

p.s. She had been dribbling, got bumped, stepped out, then tried to recover the ball after stepping back in. The ASU player might or might not have touched the ball (Nivar made a "touched" signal while running back on defense). But even if ASU touched the ball, that occurred before Nivar came back in bounds.
