OT: Geno

[Tenspro2002]

Silver lining here is that this kills NC State's dual championship dreams.

Like the '72 Dolphins, we can pop the champagne.

We can also get a 3rd.

 

[Conndog]

Yeah, Cardoso's injury in 2nd quarter must not have been anything much, as she returned. Can't see Aaliyah or Q stopping her anymore than NC State could. Getting rebounds is always a challenge with SC, and defensively they are tall, quick and aggressive. Will be a challenge for sure!

I know its the system but way too much off ball Paige here, especially with Iowa pulling ahead

She's also not nearly assertive enough. She gets it and then gives it right up.

 

[Scoe]

Being an Iowa fan because of Caitlyn Clark is just so lame. Maybe have 1 commercial of Paige for every 5 Clark commercials to try and not make it look so obvious lol.

And now it's a box and one with Iowa leading so too late to put her on ball. Too much "playing the right way" stuff, if Paige was locked in from go it could've been a dbl digit lead at the half.

Yep. They should've had a huge halftime lead, Clark and Iowa were awful in the first half.

Just brutal coaching, keep the ball in Bueckers hands.

 

[aceboon]

Bogus call but wtf is that play call? First the ball is inbounded to Muhl, the ball gets to Paige and she gives it back up to Muhl for more action to get it back to Paige? That is beyond stupid, put the ball in the your best player's hands, good grief.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Man that illegal screen call in that moment was… something

 

[EnochRoot]

That is never called in the mens game. If she had swung her hip out to clip the defender, sure. But that?

What the hell?

 

[Scoe]

Nothing like taking away a game ending play for fans to see.

It's ridiculous. He treated it like they're down three, just give the friggin' ball to Bueckers and have her create.

 

[EBonz30]

The first 3 quarters including the last call on Edwards- they made way too obvious- very silly.

Refs just had to remain part of the game. AE's screen was so not a foul.
