Message: [QUOTE="toadfoot, post: 2421241, member: 481"] Without sounding like sour grapes, I think the loss to Mississippi St. in last years semi was more than just the better team, which was clearly UConn, playing poorly, but also the way the entire FF was officiated. A few years ago the NCAA announced that freedom of movement was to be a point of emphasis in the women’s game, yet the FF was officiated exactly the opposite. It was completely unsurprising that the 2 FF teams that thrive on movement both lost in the semis. Credit to MS for taking advantage, but clearly freedom of movement was not a priority during the FF. More to the point, being physical and impeding freedom of movement has become the only strategy capable of beating UConn for the last few years. [/QUOTE]
