Womens - A10 Semifinals - St Joes @ Henrico Events Center - Saturday 3/8 11am - CBS Sports Network

I’m still proud of this team. The refs were cowards. They ran off the court super fast after making that trash call at the end. No explanation.

I was in line at the concession stand behind St. Joes coach after the game. She seems like a cool person. She said she’d like to order a beer but didn’t think it would look too good. I like this tourney because it’s not separated off or anything. Players out in the concourse after the game still in uniform talking to their parents. Coaches getting snacks at the concession stand. Parents out at the bar having a drink. It has the feel of a college level kids showcase.

what was the trash call at end that u guys r referring to? I did not see the game. but I saw replay of the game winning shot play and I'm not seeing it. was there something else?

After the game winning shot, they reviewed it on the monitors, then the male ref came out on the court and waved it off, so we all celebrated, team included. Then the female ref ran to center court from the other side and said it counted. They both then immediately ran to the lockerroom. No one knew what to think. Strangest ending to a game I've ever seen.

Not sure why it would’ve been waved off either. Didn’t call foul or travel and the shot was clearly before the buzzer went off.

Gotcha. That is weird. I thought meant the on court call. JOC wrote about it in game article…

“As the Hawks celebrated, officials reviewed the play on video.

One of them, Ashley Gloss, came out of the officials' huddle to near midcourt and gave a waving sign. The Spiders celebrated, believing the motion meant Ziegler's goal came after time expired and UR prevailed, extended its school-record winning streak to 18 games. But as officials started making their ways off the court, it became clear Gloss' sign meant "Game over," Ziegler's shot beat the horn.

The Spiders stood bewildered. The Hawks celebrated again.”

Have to think ref just made wrong signal by mistake causing the confusion. Bc no ref could look at replay & rule shot didn’t count.

 

[Eight Legger]

If that's the explanation, super weak. Every ref knows that's the signal for the basket not counting. Inexcusable to make it after a review.

UR lost because of sloppy play.Check Joes points(22) off UR turnovers(15).Easy baskets.Guard ball handling lost it.

Doogan had only 5points today.

GMU will likely crush Joes which won’t help UR at-large hopes.

Coach will have to work hard to keep Doogan,Ullstrom at UR for final year of eligibility.

 

[Eight Legger]

They aren't "hopes." We're in, period.

 

[Section 204and5]

I think Mason has the better team, but St. Joe's beat them twice during the regular season.

If coach Roussell is staying here, then I’ll be surprised if Doogan or Ullstrom leave. 1) because of the connections and loyalty to the coach and program already 2) opportunity to play significant minutes with a team that’ll likely be picked 1st in A10 again and may even be getting AP votes for top 25 to start next year and 3) since COVID bonus year is done, i would think they would like to get their degree from UR, unless they’ve gotten it already. Just my opinion.

My prediction for this one is Mason will win. Even though St. Joe’s won both times in the regular season, this Mason team is very good. First ever A10 title game, with chance to go to first ever NCAA tournament, in front of I’m sure a decent amount of GMU fans. Should be a great game to watch as a neutral observer.
