Message: [QUOTE="Rocket009, post: 2970935, member: 5118"] It was for the most part a tough, physical game. The refs let them play but I didn't see it as dirty in any way, just a little one-sided, but then those are the home court calls you can get. Cal was called early for several holds, UCONN got called for some touch fouls. There were lots of potential and-one calls that could have been made that were not. There were some strange out-of-bounds calls - at least three that should have been called for UCONN, and I wasn't watching for 3 second calls so you may be right there, but there were some real battles going on under the basket between Pheesa and Anigwe - and it seemed they both gave as good as they got. I do agree about moving screens, but I've seen in it go uncalled in lots of games. Mercedes Russel for example would set obvious moving screens on almost every play and never got called for it. I think this should be made a point of emphasis by the NCAA as it's too easy for kids to get hurt that way. The ref's were swallowing the whistle at the end of the game and Megan did get hammered on that play, so I think Geno did the right thing in getting the technical to protect his players. Winning or losing this game doesn't really matter that much if someone gets hurt and is out for the season. [/QUOTE]
