Written about our dear leader, Ms. Gahaes (Mulkey), from a Boneyard Contributor:

Dear Kim,
I know it is hard to lose a close game to arch rival Uconn. Your team is vey talented, and plays super hard. But, you didn't lose because of the last shot taken by your team not being called a foul. Here is a list of 10 reasons Baylor lost that make more sense than blaming the refs for a non call.

1. Your team missed 40 shots. FORTY. Your guys missed 39 other shots before the last one.
2. Your defense allowed Paige to score 28 points. Hold her to 25 and you win.
3. Carrington, your "go to scorer", was 2-12 in the 2nd half including 0-4 from three range.
4. UConn shot 8-17 from deep. That is 47% from a team that hit only 35% all season.
5. Your team missed 7 of 20 free throws. Make 3 freebies and win.
6. Baylor made only 2 threes all game and missed 7.
7. Normally, your rebounding advantage is 19 per game. Against the Huskies, it was only 2 rebounds. (41-39)
8. Your team had 10 shots blocked by UConn's Ono, Edwards and Griffin.
9. Your guys scored 24 points in the 1st period and only 28 in the whole 2nd half.
10. Starting with 2 minutes left in the 3rd period, and running about 5 minutes of game time, your team gave up 19 straight points and scored 0.

UConn scored 69 points on 43.3% shooting. Give them credit for playing hard and with determination. Each of the items listed above contributed more to your defeat than the last shot your team took. Deal with it, give credit and be mature.

Go Huskies..!!
Despite all of that, UCONN still had to get bailed out at the end of the game by one of the worst calls ever.

11. UConn committed 16 fouls to Baylor's 15. Only problem was only 15 of them were called.

And with all that with a correct call Carrington is going to the line with what 2 seconds to play UCONN out of timeouts, two shots, one to tie and one to win...and she had just made four straight. The problem with this blown call is we will never know and UCONN's win will be forever tainted...I mean you can talk about other things and they may all be true but it still does not change the fact that the call was blown and it deprived us on a chance to tie or win it...

Excellent point. The call was clearly a foul. The only people who disagree from what I've seen are UConn flunkies. Their "win" will always be tainted by the fact that it was a cheat: their players broke the rules without consequence. Justice was denied & Carrington was denied her chance.
