I guess there were no other questionable calls or no calls, correct?
It was a play-on in my opinion and there were many many no calls against UCONN but those don't matter. It's only the call at the end.

Antonelli doesn't deserve to be anywhere near a microphone. She's terrible and has also infected a decent Mowins. One could say that Antonelli is a VIRUS.

No.....Kim is saying she has screenshots and photos on her cell phone and told the reporter to “print that” while struggling to put/take off her mask.....

She also knows where Jimmy Hoffa is...big deal..
 
It was a rough game - both UConn and Baylor got some favor from the refs. I didn't think it was a foul, watching in real time. If we do well in the FF, I think this call (noncall?) will fade away.

It was a poorly reff'ed game....all aroud. We were saying such the entire game thread. And before that final play, UConn got jobbed on numerous calls. Super annoying that the narrative is that Baylor was wronged based one singular end-of-game play.

Now we got Lebron in on the so-called controversy. You watch the whole game dude? If you did you wouldn’t be spouting off. I think Mulkey is handling it better than just about any of the other anti-Husky pundits.

I guess you didn't hear her press conference.

Yeah. Mowins and Antonelli are bringing it up in the 2nd game, with ZERO discussion of all the fouls committed by Baylor that were not called during the rest of the game. It just props up the whole "UCONN won cuz of the refs" which is so untrue it's ridiculous. We would have won that game by double digits had the game been officiated properly. <rant off> LOL

No point arguing with Mowens or Antonelli as my father said you can't fix stu***.

No mention of UConn not having a point guard or both uconn Bigs missing half a game with foul trouble. Horrible commentary very unbalanced. Like those things did not affect uconn.
 
Was it a foul on replay and slowed down? Yeah, probably, but Carrington also made the decision to drive to the basket and into a double team with seconds left and no guarantee on a bailout call. And even if a foul was called, that doesn't mean a Baylor win either. There were a few seconds left at that point and Carrington would have had to make the FTs. Carrington was a guard driving into UConn's 6'5" and 6'3" post players, not the best move with seconds to go.

I get that people are up in arms about this one cause the 4 second slowed-down clip and screenshots look bad, but in that moment, Carrington was looking for a foul, not a good shot. And that's what hurt Baylor in the end. Frustrating that this is what people will take away from this game, that 4 second slowed down clip and screenshot. They should see the whole 16 second play and the decisions Carrington made that got her to that position.

This game was another piece in a years long story of terrible referees in the women's game. And it's been on full display this tournament. Sometimes it benefits one team, sometimes neither team, sometimes it just causes games to get out of hand and physical and players can get hurt.
 
As a Louisville fan who still hasn't gotten over the non-call at the end of regulation in the Louisville-Miss State national semifinal in 2018, I don't buy the "referee shouldn't decide a close game" logic.

In general, and regardless of which teams it involves, referees are reluctant to call a foul on a play like that at the end of the game. I wouldn't be surprised if Geno told them during the last timeout that if Baylor gets a good opportunity close-in, defend it as aggressively as possible and don't worry about a foul call.

The refs wouldn't have made that call if the uniforms had been reversed, i.e., if it were UConn attempting a shot and Baylor defending. Nor should they, in my opinion.

It's the famous practice of "swallowing the whistle" so that the ref doesn't decide the game on a debatable call. If the refs had made that call in that situation (earlier in the game is different), they probably would have been downgraded by whoever evaluates tournament referees.

I remember a similar situation in a Notre Dame - Mississippi State tournament game a few years ago (2018?). Marina Mabrey arguably fouled a Miss State player at the end of the game after having the ball stolen, but no call was made. There were a lot of complaints on the Boneyard about that, but it's another example of the same thing.

There was no arguable. She ran her over. That was blatant.

I agree. You gotta call the first quarter and the fourth quarter the same.

This game was awfully officiated the whole time lol

(Also no one mentions the fake fouls that sent carring to the line for ONO’s third foul or the one where griffin was in perfect position.
 
After Mowins stops talking about the Game’s ending, she’ll start up on visiting the Alamo and the best place to order Enchiladas. Anything but calling the game she is there to do. We’re lucky we got the two best commenters for our game.

But on the sequence before that Baylor got to the line and hit 2 FT's on what looked like a phantom call. Not to mention Paige, CW and Aubrey all getting fouled on drives to the basket with no calls on Baylor. But by all means lets focus on the last play. From talking heads who largely were silent when Texas A&M won two consecutive games on BS calls.

THANK YOU COUNTLESS CALLS WEREN’T CALLED THROUGHOUT THE GAME WHEN UCONN ATTACKED THE BASKET

And then toss it to Holly Rowe who will tell us how a player grew up poor and had to eat breakfast at Denny's, and how they've come full circle to eat at a San Antonio Denny's every morning with their family during the tournament.

Also I never once her about the fact that Baylor was effectively playing a home game. These announcers are just bad at what they do. I will isten to the game with the audio off from now on.
 
Well I guess the NCAA will put UConn on as the late game on Friday to give them less rest than the other team who makes it to the Final Four. I don't see UConn losing to either team that is playing now, be it Arizona or Indiana.
