40 to 10

I had heard that playing in Boise was problematic, but 40 free throws to 10? Boise State was getting a double bonus with over 9 minutes left in the second half. PSU actually outscored BSU from the field. Oh, well...On to Child center.

I really wondered about that. There was a point there when there were no shots made at all - just a series of fouls made by us. Was our team really staggering that much with fever? But Murrell, "who made the trip but didn't coach because of flu" didn't protest (couldn't, because of not coaching?), nor did the kids (no technical fouls). I think we just wipe it out as a bad dream and move on, avoiding Taco Bell Arena in the future. But hey, shooting 80 when you're sick isn't bad!

We listened online and there was a point in second half where it seemed as if every possession by Boise resulted in a foul against PSU, I mean every single possession...

by the way could someone please tell Mariani (spelling?) to give a few more descriptives other than "up on top" and time "left in the contest"....there were so many long pauses with no words it was impossible to know what was happening or who was even in for us. We appreciate that PSU doesn't charge to listen to games but it would be nice to hear something She even called Boise "Seattle Pacific" at one point...Gordy's old school 5 years ago, that was pretty funny. And they probably should bag the pre-game pre-taped interviews with coaches, they are impossible to decipher. Sounds like through a sock and underwater, very very poor quality; seriously we have never been able to hear any clear speech from Sherri in these pre-game interviews...does anyone else notice that?

Onwards!!! good health to all - at least they have dealt with nasty H1N1 early on! Must have been very hard to play being sick with flu, personally we couldn't imagine it.
