That was one exciting game!

How does Evelien make that shot while falling back away from the basket?! It kinda reminds me of a similarly difficult three Layshia made years ago in a game against USC to send it to overtime (which we unfortunately lost -- glad this had a different outcome).

This team had a fire and energy that if they had had in some of the other close games this season, they would have had more Ws. If Charmin can find a way to tap into that, look out!

That one ref seemed to have it in for Cal, calling every ticky tacky thing on us whilst ignoring the same or worse that UC did -- even when looking right at the play. And, the replays in Haas showed that there was still time on the clock when Jayda got her shot off and was fouled. It's just...

Since I'm here, I'm going to plug Jayda's and Leilani's gear you can buy:

You really captured it, Nick. One of the better basketball games I've seen in a long while and certainly the highlight of the season. The ref's call at the end of the game was other-worldly. I'd have been fuming it we lost. I don't know that I'ever been to game that was tied after one, tied at the half, tied after three and tied after regulation. No lead bigger than five IIRC.

One thing to correct, while we don't know what other players might leave at the end of the season, we do know that Leilani will be back, she announced this after the game. Makes it seem strange that she went through senior day ceremony knowing she'd be back.
