Ending of UCLA/ IOWA Game: Bad UCONN Memory

I just watched it. She moved her leg into Olsen. Awful call. It was either a no call or an offensive foul.

It should be an offensive foul…

The other factor in these end of game violations is the question of whether they made the same calls during the game. There should be consistency within a game and from game to game but the reality is that refs have personal standards as to block/charge type calls. In most games moving screens are 90% ignored unless either the screener or the screened defender fall. Nowadays falling has become a requirement to get a whistle. Once we get down to Quad 4 teams games would take 3+ hours if all the violations were called.

It looks like it might not hurt Iowa's hopes at all, at least going by the AP rankings which are not directly relevant. It might even help them, since they got 2 votes this time around, up 2 from last week.

Sort of agree, Bone Dog, but staying with UCLA and beating it are two different things. A win in that game most certainly would have enhanced the Hawkeyes' tournament bid hopes (although pretty good chance UCLA would have won even with a different call on that play).

A sad state of affairs. The last minute of many close games take ungodly time to play.
