Whistles galore
This game had a nice stretch early when the whistle rarely blew. Alas, the plague of women’s basketball — constant whistles — has arrived.
Andrea Riley was called for a dubious charge — her second foul of the game, both on charging calls — that wiped out a layup. On the other end, OSU’s Taylor Hardeman was called for a foul, but immediately A&M’s Danielle Gant was whistled for a technical foul.
One theory: With both teams known for aggression, and Andrea Riley’s well-discussed pop of a Texas player during a scrum Thursday night, maybe the officials have decided they will not let this game get out of hand.
