Once again Adia huddles around the FSN campfire before the game.

Every year I forget how these white t-shirts throw the exposure off!

Boucek is kind of an intense coach.

Ticha does one of her no-look passes to...
|

|

...Sue? I guess she was looking.

Not the prettiest dribbling. Not a pretty game either.

Kelly thinks she can sorta "excuse me" through a double team.
|
31.jpg
|
32.jpg
Winner!
|
33.jpg
Damn this hair!
|
34.jpg
Yep, more of that pretty dribbling...
|
35.jpg
...which sends the ball right into Yo's hands.

The Monarchs were getting heavy double teams in the paint

Powell throws a baseline pass...
|
47.jpg
...and apparently Sue got her pinky on the ball...
|
48.jpg
...then she goes Taurasi on us...
|
49.jpg
...and bounces the ball off of her head soccer-style. Very entertaining.
|
50.jpg
Well, entertaining for some of us. The Monarchs bench wasn't in party mode I guess.

This is the standard pass the Ticha normally does to break a zone defense. You drive pass the center defender and throw a backdoor pass behind her.
|
54.jpg
Kelly, try shooting with your eyes open!
|
55.jpg
Maybe she knew what was coming.

More intense Boucek before the second half starts. Unfortunately they had a terrible third quarter.
|

Yo offensive rebound.
|

Now where is that basket?
|
61.jpg
Ah yes, there it is.

Yelling at Shelley doesn't work. I try it during every college season.

The Monarchs have found a way to score points -- flopping!
|
68.jpg
Yep, the refs (especially Twardowski) fall for this every time.
|
69.jpg
Don't look at me, Swin.

It looked like Boucek asked the team "Who thinks we can win this game?"
|

The Olympics are coming to preempt all of NBC's summer replacement shows.

Is it a kick ball if you bounce it off someone's foot?
|
79.jpg
I guess not.

|

|
82.jpg
The Monarchs' plan to win the game fails.
|
83.jpg
And Nicole Powell fouls out. Uh, Twardowski meant to signal 14.
|
84.jpg
|
85.jpg
Now all the Monarchs can do is foul.
|
86.jpg
|

|

So losing sucks...
|

...but winning rocks.
