Edit, that call is not going to do Iowa any favors

First, the call was made because “good” refs react. Saw the movement and extended elbow, reacted and called it. Second, there was only a slim chance that UCon was going to get a shot even if the foul had not been called. there was less than 4 seconds left and there was going to be a double team on the ball. Hawks had a foul to give. Make the foul if “necessary” and now there is just over a second left..
Look at other replay angles…they certainly do show her lower body moving out too.
I watched the replay carefully and you are absolutely correct. Her leg slid way out to move her body into Gabby. I said earlier that Marshall did the right thing to fight over the top of the screen. Had she gone under the screen, I'd hate to think of that possible outcome.
That’s your opinion; however, Iowa’s women’s team has been more fun to watch the last few years than the men’s team. 😉
Man, gotta admit, at first glance I was like oh boy, Iowa is going to get trashed for this win. The more replays that get posted the more obvious it is . Good call and on to the natty.
there would not have been a shot. Clark was there as well to double team. Plus we had a foul to give. Take it the foul off the double team if necessary. Now only a second at most remaining. It was an obvious foul, ref saw it and reacted….time left was not a factor.
Being an Iowa fan, I was anticipating a foul call on any blocked or contested shot there, putting Paige B on the line to win the game. That makes me all the more grateful for Gabby drawing the foul to prevent that possibility.
#3 was throwing elbows all night. What didn't help her was being up top on an island in the open instead of down low where its easier to get away with it in the crowd.
Bullshit. MJ is the GOAT, will be forever. James is a poser, a pretender.
Every body sliiiiiiiiiiiiide to your left.
Every body throoooooooow an elbow.
Now clap!
*Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap.*
Watch this Edwards "screen" on Gabbie with 1:19 left in the game. Edwards got away with this tackle just before the final minute. Like Gino said in their presser, maybe they need to learn how to set a legal screen.
No no. It's totally cool to set a 6 foot wide screen. Even though that itself is completely illegal to do as well.
Everything she did on that screen was illegal.
Wide base, slide to her left, arms outside her frame, initiated the contact, and threw an elbow.
Foul, foul, foul, foul, and a foul.
She should have got 5 fouls called on her not just one. Take your pick.
This is is the most laughable I’ve read! That tool doesn’t hold a candle to MJ and it’s not even close. What a joker to fathom that LMFAO!!🤣
Just a friendly reminder that your neighborhood ISU fans are not rooting for us and immediately thought it was a horrible call and the fix is in. They hate Iowa so much more than we hate them, it's so odd. I guess the Purdy Kittle connection was short lived goodwill.

No it wasn’t. She moved, leaned and stuck her arm/elbow out. It could appear in a referee training video as an example of an illegal screen.
To be fair I'd root against ISU in a game Chutes And Ladders. I hope they lose at everything they do.
Elbowed her in the head. Should have been reviewed and she should have been ejected
I don’t feel sorry for UConn not being allowed to cheat in the last few seconds.
Ref was looking hard at the screen too, there was zero time between the foul and his whistle. He anticipated it. Geno saw it and knew it as well.
Hell of a game.
If they don't call it then what happens is Hannah is on Bueckers, Marshall is our of the play and it's an easy dump down to Edwards for a layup. It was not just a simple screen that can get called at any time to get someone the ball, that screen was at the core of what their final play was. I would say that their mentality was that if Hannah switched then pass it to Edward's, but, if Hannah guarded the roll action then Bueckers was taking that shot. Great play by Marshall for fighting to get over the top.
I hadn’t saw this angle yet. The one on the bottom.
You can if all day. They very could have called a foul on the final shot of it played out.
It is what it is.
Take the W and move on. Few are going to dwell on it after Sunday’s game starts.
Forgot how full of misogynistic incels that place isJust a friendly reminder that your neighborhood ISU fans are not rooting for us and immediately thought it was a horrible call and the fix is in.

Wow, the bottom video is 100% determinative. Not only is it clearly not a fowl, it is an EGREGIOUS FOUL. Look at her feet! As another poster noted, they're 6 ft apart.
ESPN should apologize for recklessly sullying Iowa's win. Not holding my breath.
Oh, I guess you can't arguably say that a player who is a 4 time champion, 4 time MVP, the all time scoring leader for the NBA, a player who has won numerous defensive awards, an Olympic champion, and a player who has demonstrated over the decades an ability to produce in every facet of the game cannot be the GOAT? All of those accolades are posing and pretending. Well, give him some credit for being a solid poser for 20 years. Both Jordan and James are pretty good.
Good to know.
I'll let @RVHAWKXX in on that, too.
Plus, stuck her left leg out to trip Gabby in case the first 5 infractions weren't successful.
Edit: Also to respond to someone who said we would all criticize the call if Iowa had set that very same screen. No, I would have said to myself "what a dumb thing to do at that point in the game" which was exactly what I said when Addie got called for her dumb foul under the basket when she pushed the other player down.
Geno's reaction is very telling in its own right. He is PISSED at the play by Edwards, not the call. He never goes after the officials once.
As I mentioned in another thread, after seeing the higher angle it would have been egregious to not make that call. The ref made the right call.
I think it's very clearly a foul - what's surprising is that officials have a long and storied history of swallowing their whistles down the stretch, but if you're being objective this was the right call.

I would concur. A very high percentage of them are brutal. Not all but more…
I don’t get it either way, but then again I’ve lived out of the state for 30 years…🤷♂️
