Yes, I wouldn’t blame it too much on that call. Either decision was correct for a reason, I feel. And I guess bad from Riley for not shooting before.
What I cnanot stand is the previous call. 5th foul on Mia Broom, when there was a jump ball, favouring arrow, and Mia didn’t even touch her!!! Prob one of the worst calls I’ve seen on a long time.
Anyways, game was not great and it didn’t go our way. Shootout to Mia for an incredible performance. She graduated this weekend. I think this was the perfect showing that she should have been our main PG months ago. She just needed the confidence and the playing time to bring her here. And that is on Meg. Anything that is not Mia as our primary ball handler fron now on is an aberration.
Another disappointing fan turnout. The support in Princeton in 2023 was good… and the gym was packed in Levien in 2024, but not so great in Providence last year, and even worse this year in Ithaca. Not including the cheerleaders, there were less than 100 Columbia fans.
Olivia Jones is a nice player, but she’s also borderline dirty. I saw her put her forearm into Broom’s neck on a rebound, gave Nasi a stiff arm and a push to the chest on another potential rebound, then in the Final, she tried wrestling the ball away from St Rose with a second left in a 10-pt game.
