Let's just stop (announcers etc.) with the "controversial no-call" at the end of the game. [merged thread]

If the refs don't call it, it is not a foul. Regardless of what LaBonehead says!

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.

Inconsequential. UConn has by far the easiest path to the title game. I mean it's 43-42 after 3 quarters against our semi-final opponent. Meanwhile South Carolina and Stanford will have their hands full just trying to get to the title game. We paid our dues tonight. They will pay theirs in the semi-final game.

As good as the refs were in the Iowa game, these were so bad. But if you do not call fouls all game, do not even think about it on that play so late in the game. All game Lobo and Ruocco ignored Baylor bashing UConn, and then they get indignant. Seems like Lobo is so concerned with being called a homer, she tries to compensate. As far as Mowins is concerned, she has yet to watch a game she is announcing. She just prattles on about crap all game. So no surprise she talks about the game she did not call.

Last line there made me LOL!!! 🤣 🤣

Hope the other semi-final goes into triple overtime.

How many times did Baylor mug Paige and not get called for a foul? How many over the back blocks were not called? It's ridiculous to whine about that one call.

Go back and look at the rest of the favorable calls Baylor got ALL GAME, then come back and have a discussion.

Baylor did not lose because of that call. The game was close because of all the rest of the no calls that Baylor got away with.

On a fast break in the fourth quarter, Williams got grabbed by a Baylor player and had to pull her hand away and lay the ball in. An official was standing right there and called nothing.

Hope the other semi-final goes into triple overtime.

It's going to be tough for whoever it is. If it's South Carolina-Stanford in that game, both are gonna have to fight to the finish like we did tonight. That's a big ask to have your team come out and do it again 48 hours later against UConn. Of the four teams left on that side of the bracket, there really aren't any easy matchups to be had the rest of the way.

No foul called.

 

[msupinebelt]

After Mississippi State’s Morgan William was tackled at half court that cost the Bulldogs a National Championship.
Unless someone gets knocked out... it’s not a foul.

 

[PoppaBear]

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.

All ball. Lol

 

[Veteran]

They're under 2 minutes left in the Indiana/Arizona game and they're still harping on it. Will they still be bringing it up 6 years from now? Probably.

Carolyn Peck very diplomatic on Sportscenter; says it was a foul, but there were misses earlier (called out the non-foul call on Paige) from the referees and that you can't just look at that play and goes back to the 19 - 0 run.

Surprised to hear her say that. Respect.

 

[UConnCat]

who tries to high-five her after she was tackled and no foul called. . .

Good on you Paige.

[tower1]

Debbie Antonelli is very much anti-UCONN so I expect her to criticize them. I wish we have better commentators but unfortunately she’s one of them that we have !!!

Yea and Lobo is not much better .

 

[hoopsfan22]

Lobo has to play the role.

 

[Dooooooomed]

And the reason why Carrington/Mulkey have no business b******* about a non-call.

 

[Kaizen]

We should show this to Carrington what is a foul.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Carrington would have been gone before Richards if they called the game the way Mulkey wished it had been officiated. If you're a physical team whose strategy is to get away with some stuff, you can't be mad when the other team also gets away with some stuff.

 

[Dove]

He wasn't trying to high five her. You were serious?

 

[Gurleyman]

He’s just signaling which direction the play is going on the restart.

 

[KY Card Fan]

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 tournam

I don't understand the constant complaining about the ESPN announcers. I see it on the Louisville boards also.

ESPN gives WBB what limited national visibility that it has. I'm glad they do that. I like Lobo and Landers. Mowins/Antonelli/Rowe don't aggravate me nearly as much as they do lots of other fans, apparently.

I was thinking that was the standard point toward the inbound spot.

 

[housekeys]

Refs were pretty consistent in this game. Let all kinds of stuff go all game. Drive in to a double team and refs didn't bail her out. Seems right.

Agree. Inconsistent. Terrible all game long, then they make the right call at the end. LOL.

 

[Gurleyman]

There was absolutely no question this was a foul with a minute left.

For me I want them to just do a couple of things. When the whistle blows tell us who committed a foul and how many that is, and when the horn blows tell us who is coming in and out of the game. Also not telling stupid stories for minutes at a time during a game would be great. I'll give them a pass for all the promotional stuff they do during the broadcast.

Antonelli is a complete, UCONN hating, hack. She gets more insufferable every year. I can't stand listening to her.
