Unfortunate yet Fortunate

C. Vivian Stringer said that if this were a Final Four game she would have lost her job. The play in question was the final play of a hard fought 59-58 loss to Tennessee for the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers. With the Lady Knights leading by one it seemed that every women on the Lady Vol team had a chance to win the game. Candace Parker had two chances but couldn’t get it to go. Then the strangest thing happened it seemed that the clock stopped at .2 seconds to go. Allowing for a foul to be called giving the Vols a chance to “steal” a win. Nicky Anosike was the recipient of the foul and calmly stepped to the line and sank both free throws. Here is where everything else is great for a women’s basketball. On one hand yes it was terrible for a great game like this to end this way. On the other hand today that is what people are talking about. During a slow night in the NBA and men’s college basketball this could not have gone better. Now I will say that it is a shame that UConn and Tennessee are not playing a regular season game this year. In the past the two fierce rivals would square off on national television sometimes twice a year. That rivalry needs to come back and we need to see more games like this one.

Last Second Win For Lady Vols

Last night the rematch of last seasons Final Four National Championship game between the Tennessee Lady Vols and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights was a different kind of ball game.  During the last second of this game the Scarlet Knights were up by one point.  Then with 0.2 seconds left in the game Nicky Anosike was foul as she grabbed an offensive rebound.  What was so tricky about this foul is that it was unclear if it happen before the clock expired.  It seemed as if time stood still for just enoungh seconds for the foul to happen, Anosike to make two free throw shots and for the Lady Vols to walk away with the win 59-58.
