Message: [QUOTE="willingtonfan, post: 2134232, member: 2059"] Yes, I completely agree. For instance, after they got the ball with 20 secs left after Saniya lost it, why not shout "foul." Worst case, they make the two free throws and we get the ball back with 15 or so secs to have a chance to tie/win. And in that loss to Stanford in 2014, Stanford got the ball back with us up 2. Why not foul? Worst case, they score two points -- THEY CAN'T SCORE THREE -- and tie the game again. I saw on TV in fact that UConn has never, repeat NEVER, won an overtime game in the NCAA tournament (0-5). I can only recall one game of any kind we have won in overtime, a game against South Florida some years back. I know that Geno generally doesn't like the strategic use of fouls but for heaven's sake, this is the NCAA national semifinal, do whatever the heck is necessary to win! Another point -- since the referees stopped play to do the review of the flagrant foul call when Lou was flattened, should they not have restored the time that had gone off the clock after the foul was committed to where it should have been had the call been made in a timely fashion? Because had the foul been called when it was committed, the clock situation would have been different, and we might have had one more possession that would have given us one more chance to win. Just a few thoughts. [/QUOTE]
