as bad as the men's refs. Why decide the outcome of the game...let the players do that. I don't think either team could beat the lady cocks.

Technically was it a foul? Maybe. But you don't call something that ticky tacky in that moment. If it isn't egregious, swallow your whistle and let the players play.

This is why I never could get into basketball. The fouls have never come close to making any sense to me. The refs seem to have an extreme amount of control over the outcome of the games more so than other sports. I guess due to the possible fast paced scoring that can happen, especially in the final seconds with timeouts etc.

I’ll take full blame for pushing WBB on tRant, but Barbie is out and it’s over.

It was the right call but I get that the ncaa has its reasons for officiating.

I thought it was a foul but even if its not called, UCONN still has to score to win the game. No guarantee of that but everyone's acting as if the ref took points off the board.

The best call was in the first half when the Iowa player was not even contacted by anyone. One could say the calls the last 5 minutes of the first half were what really got Iowa back in the game.

U Conn has won a lot though and I’m sure been on the other side of favoritism a few times.

Girl could have gotten the exact same effect without putting the visible oompf into it. Everybody in the arena is looking right at you and you visibly put your upper arm/shoulder into the defender??? Ref could have let it go but don't act like this girl didn't give the ref absolute reason to call the foul.

The player fouled the opponent. Pretty dumb on her part, but not as dumb as the idea of wanting the ref to let her foul without a call.

It was a good call. I've never believed in the "let them play" late argument. Just be consistent throughout. Try and call the first minute like you intend to call the last, so players can adjust to the calls.

It was a foul, so the player who committed it did help settle the outcome.

I had to go look up the video. It was a horseshite call at any time and especially then. That said, people are there to watch Caitlin Clark and the show must go on
