Just finished watching the Iowa St. Texas A&M game. A&M pushed, elbowed, hooked and hit Ashley Joens so many times and very few foul calls. The most egregious foul was at the end where Nixon hooked Ashley's arm as she drove the lane. All Carolyn Peck could do was talk about how she thought the ball was last touched by Ashley. Nothing about her arm being hooked. I don't want to hear you can't call a foul in the last few seconds. If it's a foul in the first few seconds, then it's a foul in the last few seconds. Sorry, Iowa St. You were ripped off. Once again A&M gets the benefit of no foul calls. They didn't deserve to make it to the second round. Whoever they play next, I hope they wipe you off the court.

That was awful. The jump ball call where the defender wasn't touching the basketball, the no-call on the drive to the hoop with 5 seconds left. I thought the refs did a poor job in the UConn game last night. The Troy game was a complete disaster. This is the best we can do?

I agree about the elbows. That said, it appeared the defender never had a hand on the ball, there was no reason for a tie up call.

Please. She was trying to wrestle the ball away from the A&M players. If you think the fouls evened out, then you need to get a pair of glasses because Ashley Joens got brutalized all game long.

That "held ball" was barely even touched by the Aggie player. Horrendous call, that. And it just keeps on happening.

For a coach, she knows very little about basketball. How can you not address the fact that Nixon hooked Ashley's arm as she drove to the basket. Bet she's one of those who believes you don't call a foul in the last few seconds. That is a bunch of @#$%&*!
Still waiting to see a replay of inbounds play and last 4.1 seconds of the game where there looked like a lot of contact but no call. The ref crew was incompetent. The ref under the basket stayed in the far corner instead of moving toward the play to see what was happening. Peck is a total embarrassment as well as the other game announcers for espn. Maybe if they actually spent more time calling the game and talking no essential nonsense all game the girls would have a greater viewing audience. I think these announcers turn off a lot of fans. How many times in first 2 rounds have calls been made where they don’t tell you who committed the foul or there is a controversial call that the coach is complaining on and they go to commercial and when they come back don’t explain what happenned and go back to their gabfest. Hey espn, GET SOME COMPETENT ANNOUNCERS and talk about what’s going on in the game.

Agree, huskies29. I watched Ashley Joens dad go beserk. Yes, he's impartial, but it doesn't make him wrong.

Agree, once again A&M got bailed out by the refs. I thought the held ball on the "swinging elbow" was a bit premature, although I agree that the no foul call was correct. If you stick your nose in there, you have to expect to get a whack, The Iowa State player was simply trying to protect the ball. Jones' father could have used some more TV air time as he was on his way to a major tantrum before they cut the shot. I expected him to be on the floor tussling with the refs after the game. I found him quite entertaining!

Rightly sticking up for his daughter, who deserved better. Ashley had 32 points and 18 rebounds, 18!

I doubt any of the TAMU players are reading this board.????
wow - just watched the replays. ISU should file a protest. 3 blown call at the very end of the game literally changed the outcome (jump ball & 2 hacks on Joens). Wont change who advances but at least it will call attention to the poor officiating. That was a brutal way to lose.

The elbows on that foul were cradling the ball to her body, they were not away from her body at all, and she was getting fouled by two TA&M players long before that call.
It is sort of funny seeing a 2 seed using the 'Louisville defense' against a 7 seed. Louisville was a 5 seed and employed it against Griner and the overall #1 seed. TA&M hasn't shown they belong any where at the top of the seed table.

agree 100%. Does anyone know if the NCAA will review the officials performances in these games? To me it's like a employee review - if you never address then the employee thinks everything is hunky-dory and those mistakes will be made over & over. Really a shame for these young players!
What a disgraceful job by Carolyn Peck in the Iowa State/ Texas A&M game. She was blatantly rooting for the Aggies with no regard to impartiality. ESPN preaches about equality, but they sabotage the women's game with inferior commentators.
When the refs were checking for the flagrant foul, they probably realized that there wasn't a held ball. It should have been a foul on the Aggies & Iowa State getting foul shots to seal the game. So they ignored the elbow.
