Actually, this was part of a very acrobatic move trying to flip the ball behind her back to keep it from going out of bounds.

I confess that I didn't see the game. This picture accompanied the online article I read about it.

It's a great picture. Thanks for sharing. It did draw a lot of ooh's and ahh's from the crowd and a few people's lives passed before their eyes, judging from the picture.

Most of their games were televised by ESPN, certainly the NCAA tournament. But I watch them on ESPN3 on the internet. Both the semi-final and finals were broadcast on both. The ESPN3 broadcast was called multi cam (or something like that). It had no announcers, some very different angles than you would get on TV (Once in a while, a player would put up a shot and you would see someone in the stands.), and no ads. It was absolutely remarkable how that changes the game. It was as if you were in the stands watching the game, and made me realize how bothersome and distracting announcers (and ads) can be.
