I can't say I've ever seen this either. The last time  looked it up, the rule said "no opponent shall disconcert the free throw shooter" or something to that effect. I should mention this was from a high school rule book.

If the official felt the player on the bench was indeed disconcerting the shooter, I guess it was the correct call. In a case like this, it would have been nice to see some "preventative officiating," but maybe the bench had been warned earlier.

A gutsy win for Webster over Principia today. Nice to see some players who hadn't been on the floor much of late play some important minutes. The game changed for the better for Webster when Dana Vahey entered in the first half. Within a matter of minutes she had 4 assists. I've been wondering for weeks why she hadn't been playing much (or not at all). I know she has had a shoulder injury. But injury has not kept the coach from playing Michelle McQueen nearly 40 minutes a game, in spite of the fact that I've heard she has a broken bone in her foot. Michelle got a few (but not enough) well deserved minutes of rest today.

The top three spots are pretty much a lock now. A battle for the last spot. It will be fun to have both women's and men's conference tourney's in the STL. Good to see jdoug Saturday. Tell Dad I'll make sure Lauren works on her free throws.

furbug predicts a Webster women's upset win over Fontbonne Wednesday night - you saw it here first.

outlandish!!!!!     now then, I was seriously considering going to the Maryville Westmin game, but watching Furbug squirm through the lady's game may sway me to east of 270...

[furbug]

Well, I had fully expected you to be at the Webster/FU double header anyway. I can't believe you would go to Maryville, unless you are reverting to being a Maryville supporter. Anyway FC does not believe that I have gone that far out on a limb. 

[hopefan]

That makes sense, FC and I never agree on anything!!!!

[fcnews]

We agree that we usually disagree.

Fcnews, please have her work extra on the freebies. She said she was hitting them the day before. I told her those didnt count. I was glad to see her play much better in the second half of Saturday's game against Blackburn. The team seemed to be in a complete daze in the first half. Then, the second half starts and they do show a little something. Heather always impresses me with her hustle and defense. And the post players played great D in the second half as well. And my goofy niece finally decided to hit a few shots.

It looks like Fontbonne is getting better, except for Maryville, as the season has progressed.

Furburg, since I have not seen Webster play I will still respectfully dismiss your prediction. I think Fontbonne rolls. I know it was a close game early in the season, but I think the Griffins are gearing up.

Respectfully!! Thanks, jdoug2. That is more than I expected. This posting site is taking on a bit of class!

Thanks for the info WU SID. It can be frustrating waiting on scores checking various websites. I wish all schools had something like live updates. Hint, hint Fontbonne.

And that last spot for the conference tourney is really in play. Looks like 5 teams have a shot. Good luck to whoever gets fed to Maryville in the opener. 

And let's GO Fontbonne tonight vs Webster.

[jdoug2]

Thanks to Webster's website...   Fontbonne up 44-27 at half.

[jdoug2]

Fontbonne rolls 85-55. Sorry furbug. Font kills on the glass 50 to 25. Still has too many to's.

Once again, great website for live stats.

[furbug]

Yes, I was there, jdoug2. It was painful to watch, believe me. Lauren looked very good, hit a couple of nice 3's when they needed it. The game was close then, believe it or not - 26-26. My consolation, however, was the men's game that followed.
