Are you saying the OSU player may not have even swung her elbows in response?
Players locked up under basket. Ball goes in basket. GT player elbow swing to OSU player neck/face area. OSU players backpedals with hands to face. Immediate whistle.

Only one elbow.

Hard to beleive, I know, but media reports got it wrong.

Watching it again, after the basket, the video cuts away to crowd shot and player who scored. When they come back to backcourt view, OSU player is complaining to officials with hands to her mouth, so she could have said "I just got popped in my M#*%F$!@n mouth!" and T'ed for that, but that would be a tough one.
