I agree with many of your observations--they are very much on point. I do disagree with your contention that the refs were "systematically unfair to Aaliyah.  Why would you feel there is a bias against AE?  Maybe it's her style of play.  I've heard a lot of UConn fans complain that WBB is becoming bully ball and point to the SC program as the chief culprit.  Maybe AE exuded this style and was called for it at times...

So i think it would be up to Geno and AE to conform to how she is being officiated;;  for example in the Iowa game, when on a critical game-changing play, and a ref standing right in front, is it sensible and necessary to stick your arms out like a pulling guard in the NFL to pop a trailing Gabby Marshall, someone who is slow of foot and Paige could run rings around?

Rebecca Lobo also thought this was unquestionably a foul, and so did I--certainly you can't accuse Lobo of being biased against UConn's program. The foul was completely unnecessary , which throughout her illustrious, All-American career at UConn,  AE has made many bonehead, head scratching  decisions...
