Colorado played a weak non-con but had a solid team. Not surprised to see them lose today. I had Creighton beating them in my bracket even though I’m a CU fan.

Our coach is really nice, but she gets very nervous in big games. You can tell. I think we need a coaching change. Boulder is a great place to go to school and should be easier to recruit there than it has been for her.

We have not been able to keep any talent in the state. They are all at Stanford with another on the way next season. Tara’s mother lives in CO so she spends a lot of time recruiting here.

Interesting. Is that the rate for the NCAA Tournament, or all season? I wonder how many games a year would be an average number for an official to work over the five months of a season.

One more thing I wonder: Why in the hell didn't I go into officiating?

That is the game fee for regular season games as I was told. i suppose that they pay their own expenses from that fee.

Tamari Key jumped far higher in this video than she ever has on the court!

Whatever other coaching shortcomings she may have, Kellie Harper is a genius at the postgame speech. That was absolutely PERFECT! Short, sweet and right on point. This for them, God knows they've earned it. Anyone who could watch this and not respect how completely Harper has restored the culture is just a denier. And a dumbass.

So nice to see Rae so happy. If we had lost on another 2-12 night for her, it would have been a really bitter swan song. What a tough Sr season she has had.

I have not heard Rae say she was leaving or not but she should stay one more. Still not completely healed from her injury and one more will increase her stock i believe.

Rae chose to take part in Sr night. Jordan Walker, who's staying, did not. I think Rae intends to leave.

HOWEVER, she should do so only if she wants to move on with her life without basketball, which is totally possible. I could be wrong, but I cannot imagine current Rae making or sticking on a WNBA roster. Or even overseas. If she wants to keep playing, she should come back.

I actually think Rae would be dynamite overseas. Her finesse game stacks up well with the euro style. My opinion is that she should go that route. Try to get on a good team over there for a season or two. Rehab that knee fully and get confident being a pro. Then come make a W roster like Deshields did.

If Rae declares for the draft I do think she’ll be drafted in 2nd round. I am not convinced she’ll make a roster though. I gave her a hard time last night but I do think her knee is still holding her back. She does not do well with two games in close succession. The more it’s bothering her the more it affects her decision making because she can’t just play basketball.

I agree, but man when the decision making really, really counted, Rae made one of the best and most unselfish decisions in LV history, the kick to Bucketts.

I do think Coach gets a lot of credit for that one as well. Looked like a set play. I do think the idea was probably to see if Rae had a lane to the basket for the tie or the and-1 if not then kick to the corner. So glad for that pass!

Rae also cleaned up her turnovers and passing for this game compared to the previous one. Only one turnover and several assists, none bigger than the one to Sara!!

Many of the WNBA scouts have her going in the first round i think so to. We can always agree to disagree.

Just have to see. Don’t think she’s a first round pick at this point personally. Just not shooting the ball efficiently enough, not rebounding hard enough and her defense has taken a nose dive. I do think it all goes back to her knee and a lack of confidence in it still. That makes teams cautious though. Some players just never quite recover from stuff like that.

I agree with 100% she needs to work on some things, But her pure talent and upside will be hard to pass on i think.
