The women were robbed. They had a chance to win at the end stolen by the refs. There's no other story here, that was the game, which is a shame because it overshadows what was a pretty good game.

The refs were in Iowa's pocket all half and they decided to assert themselves to decide the game at the end. An absolute joke.

That was brutal. Such a BS call. But also HAVE to get that rebound at the end. No excuses there.
 
I’m stunned that ref decided that was the time to make up seeing a foul.

You should have to elbow her in the face for a call in that spot, meanwhile that wasn’t a foul in exhibition time.

Unreal, deflating.

Terrible call. Would have been a heave by Paige anyhow but just an awful call

Geno will survive this and next year they will be back.

It’s going to be a blowout. SC 92-Iowa 67.

The ball was only 20 feet away during the screen.

The miss free throws was the second opportunity that didn't matter.

Losing is one thing and bad officiating ok, but man that ending makes me feel dirty, feel like I need to take a bleach bath for an hour.
 
Clark offensive foul on a push off on KKA was not called, but the screen was?

UConn was the much better team, even with 6 deep and 3 freshmen. Congrats to them on a great season.

If they grab the rebound clean it’s closer to 2 seconds. Get the immediate timeout and they can move it to half court.

Plenty of time to get a shot off.
 
the women have lost their mojo. gone are the days of one dominating team after another and now 8 straight years without a championship. that's an eternity for them.
on a side note, probably better they lose by 2 tonight than to get totally crushed by SCar like they always do.

There’s much more parity now and more talent plus better distribution of the top players. Probably better for the game as a whole but not for UConn obviously.

With that call at end, he should have gone absolutely bat crap and refused to get off the floor until they showed up with handcuffs. You can’t let your team get literally robbed like that. I was surprised how he rolled over.

Not really, about the mojo. They are still pretty good especially considering the bad fortune of the injuries they have had. It is unrealistic to think that kind of dominance is automatic. More importantly, UConn dominating was not good for the sport, as many fans tuned out. Everyone must eat. That is what was decided. That is what we are seeing. It is working, as the women's game has reached unprecedented heights. $$$$ > the game

The days of Uconn and Tennessee dominating were terrible for anyone outside of Connecticut and Knocksvillle.

All half? Whole game. Nikas first foul was absolute trash. Kk I’ll say plays a bit “excited” as does ice, but Clark was shook and strolled along with a ton of push offs including in her 4pt play. This was so obvious to the casual fan

They just played a Final Four game with a seven player rotation and five players out for the season. Final Four. That banner, like Paige said earlier this week, means a lot. They’ll literally be about 10 deep next year. Relax.

They rebound the Clark FT and call TO, still had probably 2 seconds to get off a 3. And they could have qdvnsced the ball to half court. Owell
