Agree with pretty much everything said above. Glad to see Graves give those horrible refs something to think about. My comments are about the Mississippi State team. The old adage about the team reflecting the coach really showed true to me. He was whining and throwing temper tantrums the whole game and his team pretty much did the same thing. Nasty attitudes and body language when something didn't go their way. Their big person in the middle was (from what I could see on tv) has a mean streak and when she threw Ruthie to the floor after they had co-possesion of the basketball was intentional and should have resulted in at least an intentional foul. After that play the ref behind her on the baseline was apparently trying to get her calmed down and she turned and snapped at the ref. After the game she apparently didn't go through the line to congratulate the home team and coaches and instead headed straight to the locker room. Apparently they get away with this sort of behavior in the good ol' SEC.

Ducks played much much better on defense. They better figure out how to inbound the ball, Sabally shouldn't be doing it.

Great win by the Ducks!

Graves was very intentional in his actions which resulted in the T. He wanted it and got it, probably because the foul call was horrible. Sent a message to the officials that appeared to be effective for the 2nd half of the game.

It may be that they don't feature the center on offense, but the Ducks did a great job on her, 5 or 6 shots attempted all night. The commentators said she usually is only good for 27 minutes a game, so that explains a bit why she sat out the last minutes of the game.
One of my favorite plays is Cazorla taking to the basket, and she did it 6 times tonight, Chavez is fearless, and it was great to see Ruthy having a big imprint in a tough game, sometimes her game hasn't shown up...of course she was the only Duck to miss a free throw. And of course, Sabrina Ionescu.
She had 36 and 19 against us last year. We played a triangle and 2 that helped and Ruthy worked her butt off to be physical and continuously push her off the block.
