Trip - true if they had been pressing or trapping all game, but they did very little of it, until the last 4 minutes, where they did it every possession they could (long rebounds where we got up court before they could get into the trap was the exception). I'll eventually ask coach if I am crazy on this, but it had the feel of a lack of appreciation that we decided we weren't going to win by 50 and we were nice to them. 

I could be wrong, but that is how I saw it. 

Didn't comprehend it was only 4 minutes, does make a bit of a difference. Would be interesting to hear both coaches take on it ...

Let me call out c's WBB coach. We are up around 30, Jose mercifully empties our bench, and c decides its time to start trapping and pressing. We take a step to limit their humiliation and they play different than they did the whole game to try to make our bench look bad. It is a bad look. I sort of miss Willie Taggart, this is exactly the sort of thing that would make him run up the score. 

(our bench handed the c trap well, by the way)

It's just part of their "culture" over there. She obviously fits right in.

From my trips to the UCF for sporting events our ladies were lucky if the Knights didn't start rummaging through their pockets.

I vaguely remember CWT & UCiF coach almost coming to blows after the game for the post game handshakes lol

I liked the way we recognized the national championship that our cheerleaders won so they could see what a real one looks like.

IIRC the pressing may have started before the subs but once the subs came in she should have called off the dogs.

And, I didn't pay close attention, were their starters still in at the time?  If so, a really bad look.

The only thing I think I’ll miss about playing them is our DJ in the Dome playing “When You Wish Upon A Star” when Oviedo CC comes on the floor for warmups. Genius. And was it music from the Haunted Mansion when them came back out after halftime on Saturday? I think it was.

Our bench kicked their butts at the end. It was so nice to witness.

It was an instrumental version of Let It Go during their introduction.
