With that, I didn’t see it.. but our seat mates watched it on their phone and were not sure but then saw it out on VA and even one referee was pointing our direction signaling it would be ours.. then it gets announced to VA.. the ACC must have called maples before the ball got inbounded.. lol.. I mean, Hailee’s missed free throws may have been the turning point or not.. who knows… but it’s still a loss
We sit 3 rows behind the visitors bench and I did hear someone yell that.. maybe it was you, but I don’t know. I didn’t pay attention to the reviews, but if that’s the case.. I think that’s a fail all around. Just wish Hailee had made the free throws to control what we could have

I’d love for someone to actually analyze how much using a time out to stop bad momentum or diagram a play helps. My guess is much less than conventional wisdom holds. The fourth quarter is a good example; I don’t think Paye took a timeout before we cut the lead from 10 to 3, did she?
On the other hand, time outs to extend the game at the end (eg to advance the ball to midcourt) probably offer a tangible benefit by saving a few seconds from the clock. The thing is they probably only work in a narrow range of scores.

We cut the lead to 3. Well at least the fans who bothered to show up are getting their money's worth.
Now tied at 62. Glad to see some fight from the team after being down 10 in the fourth quarter… just hope we have some left down the stretch.

Worst refs ever? I did think it was interesting that the UVA coach challenged the OOB call, and the refs looked at the video for 3+ minutes. Even if you don't get charged a timeout, that's a much longer break than a traditional timeout. Win-win for UVA! Then they got together to discuss it for quite some time, too. It looked obvious to me from the replay that the ball went out on the UVA player, but if they're having so much trouble deciding, isn't the call on the court supposed to stand?

i was at the game. our seats are 5 rows behind the visitor bench. i thought i saw virginia challenge a call twice. both times i could clearly see the virginia coach and multiple players signaling with a one-hand-up-in-the-air circling gesture, and the refs went to the monitor.
first time, iirc uva called for a review of a foul by uva on nunu. refs let the foul on uva stand. as i read the rules, that's supposed to cost them a technical-foul free throw and use up their challenges for the game.
but then, yes, they challenged again: an out-of-bounds play initially going stanford's way was reviewed after uva challenged, then overturned near the end of the game to be uva's ball.
(there was also a ref review for possible flagrant foul, but that was not initiated by a coach's challenge)
as i understand the rules, the request for a second challenge should have resulted in another technical foul against uva, and stanford should have kept the ball. that's a big swing at the end of the game! i was shocked that the stanford coaches didn't protest the second review.
am i misunderstanding?
