Congratulations to the women. I thought Britney Sykes had a great game, especially on defense.

She was great! Terrific atmosphere at the game as well.

By the way, was Coach Babers there? I could have sworn I saw him but wasn't sure.

Nice to see the good Chancellor there supporting the team...

 

[Cheriehoop]

Yes the chancellor was there both games sitting right about 6 rows behind us. Brittney Sykes had a monster game.

I had a great time watching the ladies play. Completely different style of play - full court presses by both teams all game and team play both on offense & defense were a must. Since height & strength isn't much different between them, lots of jump balls calls on both sides.

I think they announced just shy of 4,000 - crowd was loud at times and lots of spontaneity cheering going on during the game. I think if it were advertised more we could have had another couple of thousand more especially since all the parking lots were opened up and free parking for all close to the Dome.

If the women keep on their winning ways and become a 1-4 seed again next year, I would expect more fans to come out again. SU & news media outlets could have done a better job even advertising price of admission at $15.

Best part was seeing Coach Hillsman one armed up in the air to the crowd for last 30 seconds of game. He brings a lot of emotion to the game! It was a lot of fun.
