Saw the replays (basketball withdrawal is now officially in full swing for me), and while it sounded like a whistle, no way to be certain it wasn't a sneaker. One player was fooled, that's it.

It did sound more like a sneaker than a whistle...if you watch the replays it doesn't look like any of the officials "looked" like they blew their whistle.

If people do not like the NBA they make comments. The same works here. If you do not like those comments, do not read them or participate in a thread about women's basketball.

And many of the comments are true as the ratings are in the toilet anyway compared to the same thing on the Men's side.

Had a 'sneaker squeak' in one of my games this year. Both L and myself looked over at C, who refused to make eye contact. Kind of a blank stare. After a brief pause, the kids went back to playing the final minute or so remaining in the game.

Anyone else see the Vandersloot kid from Gonzaga become the first NCAA D-1 player - male or female - to reach 2,000 points and 1,000 assists in a career?

Pretty cool to see John Stockton in the crowd yelling and cheering for her as she set that record. Not to mention that it was a pretty good game...and yes, there are some of us who do watch NCAA-W games. Admittedly not as much as NCAA-M, but I do watch some of them.
