She got her knee overextended when a byu player and she knocked knees.

Not counting the tournament win against the Zags two years ago, when was the last time the women's team beat a ranked team in a regular season game? Home and/or away?

Ranking query... when they say '16th ranked BYU" where does thar come from, when the ncaa nat ranking has BYU at 12th?

This is the Women's AP top 25

BYU was also ranked 16 in the Coaches Poll

UP climbed from 63 to 56 in the NET ranking with last night’s results.

BYU dropped only one point from 12 to 13.

To whoever runs the Pilots YouTube channel: the full game video and audio of last night's women's and men's games are really out of sync.

They are re-showing the game at 1:30 PM today.

When Haylee went down in great and loud agony I saw grown men with tears running down their faces in support and sympathy for her.

On the other hand, some of the more cultish fans, many of whom were not wearing masks, decided it was a good time to cheer and exhort their team as if UP's point guard and team leader was not lying prone on the floor in tears.

For me it was a reminder of the many such instances of boorish behavior by cult followers from past games, but this time a few Pilot fans took action.  Maybe not our finest hour for sure, but sometimes people just need to be confronted about their behavior.

As a sports fan I get a little crazy at times, but some of the behavior I saw yesterday, especially with Haylee lying on the court literally screaming in pain, was something I have never witnessed before and hope I never do again.

I admit to verbally confronting some in response to their unsportsmanlike behavior, but as many were with little kids that were following the lead of their parents/grandparents, I stopped short of the more outward behavior I felt was appropriate at the time.

It have been to plenty of games against very good opponents with huge followings, but never I have seen this sort of action by their supporters.

To be fair, my recollection of events was a bit more nuanced.  Haylee went down and play continued until the referees realized it and stopped action.  The coach, players, and others rushed to Haylee, and while there was an initial murmuring and talking about what happened across the arena, it quickly died away.  I recall looking at our bench, BYU's bench, and then around the arena and it was just plain dead quiet - and stayed that way.  Somebody started to play music over the loudspeakers and quickly thought better of it.  Finally, when Haylee was helped up, nearly everybody applauded, including the BYU bench and fans.  As she was helped to hobble across the floor, the boorish behavior started.  My wife took the lead on our behalf with a Cougar fan in front of us and it seemed like similar fan out-bursts were happening elsewhere.  For the most part, I thought BYU was respectful and appropriate, but there are always outliers - with all teams.

Not unexpected boorish behavior aside, the O has finally acknowledged there is a division 1 team in Portland. I guess we just have to beat ranked teams.

So is that the norm for commentators and articles to quote ranking from instead of net?

For me, the single turning play of the night was Keeley's 3-pointer (her second of the season) to make it a two-possession game with just over 2 minutes to go.

Alex and Lucy will get the well-deserved headlines, but face it, this was a team effort led by Rose down the stretch.

A VERY humble and delightful 4.0 accounting major who plans to move on to a well-paying job after graduating in May, it turns out she is also cool as ice in clutch situations.

Haylee is out indefinitely, her backup Kelsey is apparently done for the season due to injury, and yesterday the team was missing starter Emme and first player off the bench, Maisie.  Yeah, I would say this was a win for the ages over a team with a 12 NET that UP had not beaten in the Chiles Center in 14 years.

Yes, almost without exception...

*cries in no cable or streaming subscription* (To be fair, I don't watch enough TV to justify getting one.)

No worries. You can watch the whole game at your leisure on YouTube

The audio is still out of sync :\ (by roughly 3 seconds)

Oh well, I can just stick to the highlights for now.

A short postgame interview with coach Meek.

It’s not out of sync when I watch it. Try resetting or closing your browser/APP/machine and see if that fixes it.

Or click on the “watch on YouTube” link.

Out of sync for me too on all formats and devices. Will rip it and adjust audio timing with VLC maybe
