I've now watched that clip 20 times and I remain stunned by what she did. Equally stunning was Dee's failure to call a foul.

If these teams were in the same conference this video (and others) would be sent to the league office.

I hope UConn sends a tape of all of Arike's late fouls to the chief of officials - and a copy to the ND Athletic Director

I believe when the head of the officials review that game and see that play they will have some questions for Dee Kantner as to why she did not call something.

I was stunned they didn't flagrant her for that at the time. Just watched it like 10 more times and it is just awful sportsmanship and dangerous too. Then she runs up the courts and signals "I'm open" - well duh, you just decked the player playing defense on you! She should be severely disciplined for the behavior.

I have to believe most of the poo-bahs in women's basketball were watching this game - there better be consequences.
 
Mind blowing that she actually gets calls she shouldn’t when she pushes off but then complains and loses it if she gets called.
 
Watching in real time I missed the the foul. I can't believe how flagrant the foul was. It was two fouls- the elbow to knock CD down and the trip with her leg. It was so extreme and and so dangerous that Muffet should as a lesson to all the players suspend AO for at least one game. This is a game between two highly skilled teams not a gang fight.

If you still like Arike after watching this, watch it a couple more times and pay particular attention to her left leg. Then, if you still like her, you're a Notre Dame fan.

Anyone watches this video and still thinks Arike is not intentionally fouling Crystal he is not a UConn fan ...

None of this should be surprising when playing ND. I haven't been able to find the shots/ clips I'm looking for but there is the chest punch/ forearm that McBride threw at Stef during a championship game or the forearm shot to Stewie's shoulder in a national semi-final game. Then there's the leg kick that knocked Steph on her butt. I'm sure there are many more examples.

Arike should have been slapped with a flagrent 1 on the first foul on Danger. Same with the second one. Then add on the stupid behavior while Geno is talking to a ref. Muffet needs to deal with this behavior though I doubt that will happen. Arike should serve a suspension of some significant time period. That's not going to happen either.
 
I find it difficult to believe that the hip check escaped notice by the ref. Nonetheless, I am hard pressed to remember another game in which the Huskies enjoyed an advantage over ND in free throw scoring. Yesterday was 17/20 (Huskies) to 16/24 (ND).

Does basketball have an equivalent to soccer's dreaded red card?

Really uncalled for. And, as said above, potentially dangerous. And she is a senior. She should know better. I expect she feels bad now about losing her cool.

After last year's miracle shot, have tended to watch her more and beginning to form an opinion that she has a lot of Grayson Allen in her. While at Duke, under pressure, Grayson tended to reach out, grab, kick, etc. and Ogunbowale has many of the same tendancies.
 
I was stunned with the aforementioned plays. The first one at half court should have been a flagrant, it looked intenitional. The second one should have gotten her kicked out of the game.

One of my biggest complaints about ND, in general, is that they are very poor losers. I have long thought this, and it of course was never clearer to me, after we beat ND twice last year. This was evident yesterday in the ugliness/dirty plays.

One announcer mentioned that she was open but failed to explained why she was open.

It seems that the two habits are sides of the same coin, so to speak. It is ever thus. In the spirit of a previous poster quoting a Latin prayer, Sic Semper

It is too bad that Arike resorted to some very questionable tactics. She is a very talented player who has already achieved fame from her two clutch shots last year. She should not taint her reputation with unsportsmanlike behavior.
I appreciate toughness. Some of the physical play I accept as heat of the moment. The comment that got her a T was dumb, but not criminal. (How many Ts does DT get for her mouth?) But she should have simply owned up to saying something she shouldnt and left it at that. That swing at Dangerfield was uncalled for, immature, and dangerous. And there were a couple of other incidents which were, IMO, well beyond "tough play". Maybe the talk of this game will make the refs more alert to this.

Just saw the game replay....
Totally agree with you and others. I just lost a good chunk of respect for Arike as a player (don't know her as a person to judge her, though it is in tough times that one's true character comes out imo!). Not only did she take a cheap shot at Crystal, (actually 2X), she showed poor sportsmanship and lack of class by, not so much earning a T (from something she apparently said to Geno), but ignoring the coach's handshake gesture at the end of the game. Maybe her "heroics" from the NCAA Tournament has gone to her head. Too sad!

ND’s motto: Vita Dulcedo Spes ...
If it’s true they introduced Uconn as “kentucky”, it fits with the fact that Indiana and Kentucky haven’t much love for each other.

Not a lot of sweetness, or fond hope from a few ND players!

Last night it kinda got lost in the shufffle, but she really had to work at that to get that call with 1:43 to play. I was proud of just how composed Crystal stayed. For those who did not see it, let Jeff Jacob's describe it: "As Notre Dame took off on transition offense, she got an unsportsmanlike foul for wrapping her arm around Crystal Dangerfield’s head from behind with 1:43 left. " Jeff left off the English applied by Arike in an effort to send Crystal (or her head) spinning : total BS and worse, totally dangerous.

I missed last night the ref during the time out called both coaches over and she mimed Arike's attempted yank or spin move. Of course the announcers turned into church mice. Why it was not a flagrant is beyond me since it was purely gratuitous.

I also liked Arike calling for the ball right after taking out Crystal, and "freeing herself up."
 
Has there been any social media on Arike's play? Would seem people would be commenting on her obvious cheapshots

Nice to read that neutral observers validate the impressions and feelings of UConn devotees. Thank you, Jenny.

She doesn’t feel bad. She was angry they were losing and she took it out on whoever including the opposing coach ha! She did it with the whole arena to see because she wanted too. I have no dog in this fight. Not a UConn or ND fan.
Mariya Moore had two flagrants in back to back tourney games her frosh year in 2015. The first one she decked a BYU player with a shoulder shiver any WWE fan would be proud of. The next game Mariya clobbered some kid on a rebound. She got called both times and that put a stop to it and her antics never reappeared.

I thought the more flagrant cheap shot took place a few minutes before the technical when it appeared that Ogunbowale clothes lined and slew footed Dangerfield knocking her hard to the floor. Obviously the refs missed the incident, but I'm sure the UConn bench didn't. Kudos to Crystal for keeping her cool and not responding.

Agree this one was the worst one. Second was make up call

She also undercut Williams on a drive to the basket, while she was in the air. Just sayin’

At first I thought that was unintentional until I saw the replay. It looks like she deliberately leans in while CW is in the air. At this level, she must know how dangerous that is.

There was a piece on the ESPN broadcast about how Ogunbowale received all of the attention after last year's final four (Kobe visit, Ellen show, Dancing with the stars...) and how that could go to a kid's head, but it hadn't. I'm not so sure about that. To me it looked a lot like she expected everything to go her way and when it didn't, she had a meltdown.
 
If you marry up what Arike did in the UCONN Game and what she did in the game vs Oregon State (kicking Janessa Thropay in the head during a scrum for a loose ball), Arike should have been ejected in the UCONN game. Muffet should have disciplined her as well. The pattern of unsportsmanlike & dangerous behavior is glaring.

It’s called enabling on the part of McGraw.
