Well, I think the officiating was pretty poor there as well, but the point differential (10+ for most of the game) was too great to make a difference. Not so with Arkansas and tonight ( not to mention the A&M games, etc. etc).
Were they on Twitter after the officials gave them the Michigan game?
And it is reviewable!!!
Thanks. Sorry that the discussion will revolve around referees and not the great athletes on two terrific teams. It was an epic back and forth game. I knew Baylor was very good, but they were actually great. The biggest crime is that Baylor was underseeded. Some good news is it was nobody's last chance to run at a championship. Everyone gets another year of eligibility.
Good point. They are supposed to enforce the rules, not decide to relax them.
Good point.
The freshmen are learning and making mistakes now they won’t make going forward.
LeBron go shill some more for China, shut up here.
That was the game IMO and Kim handled it poorly not using a timeout while Paige carved them up.
.....and Aaliyah on the bench most of the first half.
Great comment! You should be a commentator! They weren't calling those fouls all game so shouldn't call it in the last second either.
Im sick of how many times UConn bodies were on the floor and no fouls.. This pic is not a foul based on how the game was called. The over the back calls werent called, the flagrant call on Paiges layup when Carrington almost took her head off and fans think that is is a foul with less then a second left???????????. Please give me a break. The only reason why Baylor was in the game was UConn got some home Texas cookin just like TAM got. In the first qtr UConn got killed and Liv was in foul trouble allowing Baylor to go to the line and stay in the game. If Liv and Edwards arent in foul trouble we win by alot. Baylor was in the game only because they lived at the foul line in the first half. In this pic they werent off their feet and arms leaning a little bit, no slapping or hacking. Next Didi was out and that wouldve made a difference.. Well Liv and Edwards were out a long time too but nobody is talking about that. Call it either way I guess but considering how the game was called Baylor didnt deserve it. UConn went on a 19-0 run and earned this win and thank goodness the refs didnt take it away from them. If Baylor played this physical at Stanford they wouldve all fouled out. JMO folks. Im not happy on how the game was called. It was call that way and we have to accept it and so does everybody else.
I mean it was a foul but they didn't call fouls on both teams all game.
DiDi when pressed is turnover prone, Nika would have helped there. She would have that extra body to spell A guard
I honestly hope the players don't go to social media. Hate to see that. I'm sure there is a lot of emotions going one right now and everyone is heated.
Somehow the widespread focus on Richards' injury overlooks the fact that Nika missed all 40 minutes due to an injury.
Yes, but more importantly she is a great on ball defender of the opposing point guard. She would have stretched their offense by slowing down Didi instead of it being packed in. Big difference between an 8 foot pass and a 15 foot one.
I just wanted to point out that we had some things working against us too. Everyone acting like UConn was just handed this game. Yeah we'll never know how it would have turned out if Richards doesn't get hurt. Or if the refs call a foul at the end of the game. Or if our starting point guard that is at least partly responsible for how good the team played down the stretch was available. Or if the refs called a bunch more fouls on Baylor as they could have. People are just looking to put an asterisk on this win because UConn is the evil empire of WCBB.
Biggest cry baby in the nba and he got the benefit of a no call with the heat fouls on him that helped them win a ship .. as big and strong as he is he sure gets blown over by the wind easily
And this wasn't a foul? Lol.
I just watched AG's first charging foul at the beginning of the 2nd QTR. Without any doubt, the defender was inside the arc around the basket. That makes it a blocking foul not charging. The official , 2 ft away, never even looked. There were many judgment call that were made or not made on both teams, but if you are inside that small arc you cannot get a charging foul called on the other team. It's not judgment, it's black and white in the rule book.
That's one of the dumbest things anyone can ever say about a BB game. How did you gauge that? You knew what was in the other 9 kids' minds? Try telling them that.
