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

[Magruber]

Jerk take your advice

I guess it was too hard to read my very next post how I was mostly kidding.
Thanks for your most valuable contribution.
I shutter to think what we would have done without it.

forgot about this one...

Carrington looked like she was shot out of a cannon. Dive.

 

[Heytherego]

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

Good on you Paige.

LOL was he not just holding his hand out to show her where to stand? I’ve played basketball my whole life and that’s what they usually do. Could be wrong though!

 

[Magruber]

Found this online. Just gonna leave it here.....

THANK YOU!!!!!
A picture is worth a THOUSAND WORDS!

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.

Lebron just ordered his "guest workers" in the reeducation camps in Western China to start making "Baylor Got Robbed" t-shirts.
Free labor means greater profits for Lebron and soon he'll be a billionaire.

The announcers clearly missed the player grabbing CW on her layup with 1:03 left in the game.

They have a deep seeded jealousy of UCONN and greatly resent UCONN's enormous success, as it has far surpassed that of Tennessee.
Peck also doesn't like Geno 'cuz he's a great coach and she couldn't coach a peewee team.
Don't underestimate the fact that many many women, hate it that a male is the dominant coaching icon in a female sport. They feel it doesn't give shine to deserving females. Thus they'll root for Programs with female coaches when going against a male led program.

So they will like UConn when Geno retires at the back end of the 2030's or early 2040's and Shea is the head coach?

LoL. Lebron calling out the refs. That's rich. The man has made a living getting phantom fouls as he barrels into the lane.

He’s no Kobe.

I would not call that an obvious foul.. The Baylor player knocks the ball loose. They are both going for the loos ball. Paige is not knocked down but is going down to secure the ball. Generally on scrums like this they do not call fouls. You can see this all the time even though technically it should be but it is never called till there is a held ball.

I think you're way wrong.

She was tripped/knocked down. That's why she was on the ground. It was obvious and ofc it was missed.
At the moment it is 5:38 on the clock, at that moment Paige has her hand on the ball/or about to, and you can see that the defender is already on the floor with her full body weight on Paige's legs. It was obvious- but missed.

You know when a player dives over your lower legs/ankles with full body weight, you realize unless the offensive player is LeBron or in football someone like Earl Campbell, the offensive player is going to collapse to the floor, right?

It's kinda funny if you visit other boards after they drop a game to UConn to see what UConn homers Antonelli, Peck, Lobo, hell, all of them are with their nonstop fawning over UConn players, their undying love of Geno. You just can't make some people happy, I guess. That would be fans I'm referring to.

 

[CMC'72]

Question to Mulke and Dijonai:
What about THIS no-call on Dijonai clearly holding Paige???

Are you, Mulke and Dijonai complaining about THIS no-call???

P.S. There are a hundred more pics of no-calls during that great game.

 

[temery]

Stop actually means stop.

 

[Conndog]

Good on you Paige.

No, ref wasn’t trying to high-five her, why would any official do that during a game? He was simply indicating where to stand to inbound the ball.

It is. She tripped Paige and then someone else piled on Paige after she had the ball. Both are obvious fouls.

It doesn’t matter that both were going for the ball.

And they just called it Sunday night in one of the men’s games. Both of them actually.

 

[GiladKatzDeli]

It looked like some vintage Knicks-Bulls action from the 90’s last night. Rough play both ways. I’d have blown the whistle on that last play, but I would’ve called Baylor on a number of Paige and CW’s drives throughout the game as well. Unfortunately, the game may be more remembered for its final moments rather than what it really was- an extremely competitive and well played game by two excellent, well-coached teams.

 

[Bama fan]

Holly Rowe was definitely a Baylor and Didi Richards fan tonight.

Holly Rowe is there to tell the touching, emotional, inspirational stories. That is her job. Didi has one of those stories. So Holly talks Didi while the others supposedly call the the game in an unbiased manner.

No

 

[KMac]

She did that over and over during the game. Over sold every play! Refs bought it every time!!

 

[CTFIRERETIRED]

For someone that gets a lot of "NO CALLS", Lebron should just keep his mouth shut. She got fouled, she didn't get fouled. OH PLEASE, enough. I fear that the next step will be that the "race card" will be played. This is one of the reasons why a lot of us have tuned out sports altogether. Whine, complain, accuse. It's a game, and yes there are times that there are mistakes made. GET OVER IT. The officials are not perfect, and if they missed or didn't miss a call it's not the end of the world. GROW UP.

 

[f1f1ferrari]

Not to mention that Baylor benefited from multiple no calls throughout the game.

 

[eebmg]

Lebron got his tweet in. Who cares.

 

[CTFIRERETIRED]

yup, and sooner or later UCONN may be on the end of a bad call. It is what it is.
