Right. Teams seem to just stand back and let her shoot and concentrate on controlling the rebound. What is especially strange is that during the entirety of her freshman year, she hit a breathtaking 50% of her threes. I would think that she consistently hits 3s in practice - else she wouldn't have the green light. Maybe and hopefully she turns the corners soon.

OSU players, In general and by comparison, were faster, quicker, more agile, and more explosive than our own. That third quarter spurt didn't last long but hit like a bolt of lightning - quick hands and feet enabling the steal and then the speed to outrun defenders to the basket. Our players are not that far behind but far enough that there has to be some compensatory advantage in order to prevail. In our case that would to have to have been three point shooting - it wasn't there for us, and that was that. Part of that of course was OSU's defense which i thought was excellent - so many of the 3 pt attempts were closely contested. I will drop a few more tears into the spilled milk .... with Potts on the court, the Huskers would beat that OSU team three times out of four.

Just check in on 2025 recruit Olivia Hamlin. https://sports.deseret.com/high-school/girls-basketball/athlete/olivia-hamlin/274501 Don't know who "Dixie" (recent opponent) is, but jeeezz! 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 steals is a rarity in HS. And in two other games she had TWELVE and SIXTEEN steals! !!! Sixteen is one every 2 minutes!

i was one of them and am really proud of our fans for showing up like in view the conflicting and game and the brutally cold weather.

yes, me too. Tho I amazed that these two things happen at the same time, I will be at the PBA and then up way past my bed time to watch recorded FB. I just hope that no FB updates are reported at the BB game

Does anyone have an explanation for why these contests will be played simultaneously? I mean game time for the football championship was known well in advance of setting the basketball schedule. I expect the PBA tomorrow evening to be rather a lonely place. Maybe the ticket takers and concession workers will out number the fans - speaking of whom - they will have to miss the FB game in order to do their jobs. I really don't get it and will be watching BB replay at midnight.

was she in shorts such that a brace would have been noticeable?

I will be interested to see the match up between Markowski and O'Grady. Similar size, body builds and playing style. Season long the edge in converting possessions to points goes to O'Grady, but AM has done much better the last few games. If AM gets in foul trouble - or when she just needs a blow - Bozan defend against O'Grady will also be an indication of how far Bozan has come in defensive play.

thank you. I also just found this ..... "In NCAA basketball, the penalty for an intentional foul is two free throws for the offended player and possession of the ball for the offended team. So I still don't understand. The offended player was Petrie

The foul was called intentional.. is there a difference between a flagrant foul and an intentional foul? I really don't know

Bugs said "JP didn't foul out though" Major 'OOPS" on me. I read the box score and for JP's line i read the 5 FDs for 5 PFs . My bad. Apologies to all i might have confused.

"The refs sucked....shows they were in lala land the whole game." .... not if the situation and the rule are what i cited above - if that is the case the refs knew what to do and were right on top of it. Thinking this thru again - I think that is what happeened

well, here is another factor. by the time JP was pushed by Adams (the intentional foul) JP had already fouled out. It was she who fouled the shooter. I don't know the rule on this one - or even if there is a rule - for what happens when an already fouled out player gets fouled intentionally. Maybe it is that JP is out of the game so her team gets to choose who takes the free throws, ??????

I still can't figure that out. Petrie clearly was fouled by Adams - for her 5th. But JP didn't shoot at all. Had there been a TF, i expected that JP would shoot the two for that foul and then BP would shoot the tech. It was called an intentional, not a technical.
