Thank you, Jeff. I appreciate you showing us this amount of respect and courtesy.

Regarding the continuation call, it did seem a little weird. However, I really thought the announcers over-played the situation. Geez, one bad call. They harped, and harped, and harped, and harped on it for the rest of the game. I thought Ann Meyers was the women's games worst announcer of all time, but I've now "elevated" Doris Burke, and whoever that guy was that was with her to a new record score of lousy.

There were a number of other calls that might have seemed questionable but were actually very good, including a couple of PC calls, and one block/charge that were truly great. In all, I thought the game was very well officiated, although the level of play wasn't up to my expectations at all. I don't see how they can keep saying that Connecticut is so great, if that game was any indication!

I didn't see the game but if it was a bad call at a critical point why wouldn't the announcers talk about it? It's their job to talk about the game...good bad & indifferent.
