22 and 7 for Prochaska? I'll take her at 25% more often, please.

Disappointing loss, but they didn't quit and you're right Freak, they'll be ready to attack next season. Talk about some talent coming back and coming in!!

Thanks Golds! GO BG!!

Wow. That's all I can say about the crowd tonight. I am literally having trouble hearing anything and already lost my voice. That was the loudest game I have ever been to, including several Big Ten men's games. The refs were not very good, to put it mildly, but it was the most fun I have had in a long time.

Also, note to the guy standing next to me: Making death threats to the refs is 100% unacceptable. I heard you say "You better have a good hiding place after the game" at least 3 different times to 2 different refs. Regardless of how poorly they called the game, you are a representative of BGSU. Act like it.

That crowd was amazing, when everyone was on their feet and cheering, man was it roaring! It was amazing to see all the pro-stroh support as well, I'll be wearing my Tshirt all day tomorrow.

I liked the little kid cheering with DustinXtreme. Much better motivator IMO.

Refs made some terrible calls on both sides, though the worst ones seemed to come against us.

If I can remember this correctly...When Nikki went down there wasn't a whistle to be heard, even though the crowd was happy to point it out to the refs. Indiana scored while she was still lying on the floor, and Curt gave the refs a piece of his mind for not blowing the whistle. (rightly so). When Nikki actually tried to get up she quickly lost her balance as if she just got socked in the head. At this point Curt was getting hot and eventually escalated enough to be held back by one of the other coaches. The T was called...and that's when the bulls**t chant came in. I saw the little kid with Dustin doing the cheer too, but honestly at that point I didn't think it was inappropriate. That was pure bulls**t.

Anyways, it was a fun season. Look ahead to the future, because our two leading players still have 2 years left. Great job ladies!

Coach got the T for yelling F*** YOU at the ref. Surprised me.

Didn't realize that's what he said. Well, even so, it wasn't uncalled for if you ask me.

As for the crowd, it really was amazing. Very loud and very pumped up. It ended up being disappointing for us on the scoreboard side, but it was still a great crowd and those ladies played their hearts out. Sad that we lost, but it was still a great game.

You don't like to lose, and you don't like to lose at home. But if this team had to lose in the tourney, I would rather they lost at AA. The way the fans stayed after the game to show their support for these young ladies was tremendous. To see the the team interact with the fans, while the loss was a heartbreaking way to end the season, it was great to be able to celebrate a successful season with the team.

Now we get to look forward to banquet on May 1 and the chance to relive the season one more time with what will be another great video recap by Julie Baker. Most importantly, we get to send off this senior class with one last rousing ovation.

My two favorite 3's - Goldsberry and Dale Earnhardt!

The best part of the game was afterward, when a crowd formed around Lindsey to hug her, congratulate her and thank her for all she did for the program. I was deeply moved when I saw her trying to fight back tears, both of joy and sadness. It was inspiring to see how much she cared about the program and the fans, and how much the fans cared about her. A truly beautiful moment.

Are you referring to the kid at center court? Because he wasn't with Xtreme...he was with Rich, the anti-Stroh moron.

True or false? By rule, the referees are NOT to stop play when a player is down IF the OPPOSING team has control of the ball.

Just wondering.............

A great coach fights to protect their players. And that certainly was the case tonight when Niki was down........

It's discretionary. If the team is on the break and looking to score, the refs are supposed to let the play continue.

Agreed on that. That was one heck of an atmosphere.
