Looking at the stats, both teams had 16 fouls by the end of the game.  If you subtract maybe 5-6 intentional fouls at the end, Stanford was only called for about 9-10 fouls during “regular” play. Looking at their season stats, they averaged exactly 16 fouls per game.  Also, they only had a total of 6 people foul out and three of those were brink. For UConn the average was 14 fouls per game and interestingly 7 foul outs, with three for Olivia and three for Aaliyah.  Nothing unusual for UConn.  So as painful as it was to watch with my bias for UConn and the refs not seeming to call as many fouls on Stanford as I thought they should, I don’t think the refs were biased against.

however, don’t get me started on how the refs generally will let a lot of stuff go in the early stages, I don’t like it that they seem to “insert” themselves into the flow of the game by calling it much tighter towards the end of a game, for whatever reason.
