Even though the crowd was much smaller than a Men's game, I agree that the fans were into it and it was so glorious to see the excitement and hear the roar! Parking and seating is so much easier for Women's games which is sad when we are the #1 overall seed, but I hope that fans start supporting our Lady Bruins more in the coming years!
I truly enjoyed that game and the atmosphere at Pauley. I listened to the post-game and the questions by both Dmitri and Joe. Richmond was a very well coached squad that reminded me of the movie Hoosiers. They impressed me against both Georgia Tech and UCLA. Both coaches displayed a tremendous amount of class and represented their respective universities well. I think our men's coach could learn a few lessons from both of these head coaches.
It's amazing that the Lady Bruins played just 1 great quarter and were still able to win the game handily. Double- and triple-teams don't seem to matter, as Lauren Betts is unstoppable whenever she gets the ball inside the paint. Wish the men's team could've exploited some of this with Mara (he's a good passer and shot blocker too).
