Boston shoves Belibi into the free throw lane before the shot. Free throw doesn’t count, SC ball. Disgusting.

we watched 3 replays and it looked like Boston faked Fran into stepping into the lane.  We couldn't see any contact between Boston and Fran.  What a game.  We have a lot to learn from tonight: SC will be in the Final 4 for sure.

That's what it looked like to me too. Fran wasn't pushed, she was faked by Boston leaning in.

You guys were watching a different game.

That third quarter was a disaster for the second game in a row.  Both times, Tara took too long to call a timeout. And tonight she didn’t sub. Henderson was lights out on defense, but part of this loss is on decision making.  I love Brink but tonight was not her night and it was terribly apparent.  Prechtel and Belibi outplayed her by light years yet at important moments Tara went back to Brink.  Really really bad decisions tonight both from players and coaches.  This game could have went our way easily.  Hopefully, they all learn from it.  

That being said, I’m happy we showed we can compete.  Prechtel had an amazing first half with 7 rebounds and 5 blocks.  Fran had 10 points in 10 minutes at the midpoint of the fourth.  Both showed they want to be on the floor and produce.

Hopefully we start keeping the players on the floor that are producing that game.  We have a ton of talent and I understand wanting to get a flow with starters.  But if other players come in and push you ahead, they may just be the better matchup that evening.

For my money, Prechtel starts at least the next 5 games. Tip: with Brink’s long arms, she really doesn’t have to get very close to shooters to block the shot. Maybe she should play a little looser on D and use her athleticism to block shots.
