I've been a big fan of Rebecca Lobo's commentary in this tourney.  However, tonight in our game I felt she showed bias toward SC.  Perhaps she has a close relationship with Dawn or something.  It bothered me that she and that guy kept going on and on about how great SC was playing, how good this SC player was doing, yada yada yada.  

For instance, it is not a kicked ball when the ball inadvertently contacts a defender's foot.  Both commentators claimed that the refs clearly blew that call on Lexie.  But, it looked to me that Lexie never intended to kick the ball.

Agree. I also thought that the defender needed to purposefully kick the ball for it to be called. I thought I saw that Lexie kicked the ball as she was moving to get into defensive position. So, yes, she kicked it, but I don't think it was deliberate.
