A foul is a foul. I never believe in the “refs swallow” the whistle in the last minute stuff. The elbow was out, it’s a foul any minute of the game. Piss on the whiners!

If it’s a foul in the first minute, 35th minute or last minute, it’s still a foul.

I agree with this, although I'm more into consistency. If a play like that is a foul in the last 10 seconds it should have been a foul in the first 5 minutes too.
She was never set. Slid right into her.
Put a shoulder and elbow into it as well.
It was a foul.
That said…if the situations were reversed I’d be pitching a fit 😂
We are all hypocrites when our team gets the call against it.
To me, CC22 extended arm pushoff before making the 10 footer was far more of an obvious foul
If we’re being honest, it’s a terrible call especially in the moment. Hard screen where she may have leaned in but gosh we’d be irate if it was called against us.
I agree but of course it will be debated.
Just need to beat SC soundly. Gona be tough with the depth they have.
Everyone will need to be hitting their shot.
See the thread title. A foul is a foul regardless of the moment.
If Stuelke hedges harder and checks Buecker out-of-bounds, would that have been a terrible call in the moment? When does blowing the whistle on something that should be called every time become a terrible call? Inside 10 seconds? 20 seconds? 1 minute?
So bad that the UConn player didn’t even call for the foul after the shot.
The replay ESPN keeps using doesn't make it look as obvious and the other view from across the court. That view makes it 100% obvious
True. But we don’t need to be the objective ones. Just the refs
Except she didn’t extend. She had arm up but she didn’t push. Although this is my bourbon soaked memory
Okay, I’ll agree that’s the way it should go but it’s rarely the reality. I’ll just say I’m always on the side of letting the players decide the game. Not at all apples to apples but I felt the same way about the CDJ punt return. Premise is the same, let the players determine the game.
Talked about it in the NIT championship game last night, if you go over the top of the screen your supposed to get that call. If you go under, not so much. ESPN can’t let it go for sure.
Idiotic take…..watch the replay & she was clearly moving to her left as contact was made. You should really learn the rules of b-ball before u comment.
lol okay. Look, letter of the law, sure it’s a moving screen. You’ll just 8 out of 10 screens during a game not called a foul there. Gabby ran through it hard which helped. I guarantee that if that calls against us this board is losing their minds.
Bottom line, it was a break but Hannah was in great position to force a a tough shot from Paige regardless.
I agree, the defender should have been called for a flop.
Isn't OP the guy that keeps complaining we don't have enough black players to win? lol
If Beuckers comes tighter off that screen, the screener doesn't have to lean into Gabby. IF the screener doesn't take out Marshall, and Gabby gets through she might bother the shot enough, it doesn't even go in. UConn didn't shoot that well from the perimeter all night, so who's to say they make the shot to get the lead anyway?
Also, maybe Geno is upset w/ the screener for leaning in and NOT at the official? Unclear.

Watching Sports Center just now and they again said it was a tough call, "especially because it could have gone either way." Tough call? Sure given the time of the game, but could have gone either way? LOFL
Geno complained in the post game that they got called for 3-4 moving screens and Iowa didn't get called for any.
Agreed…..it’s clearly a moving screen so 100% should be called anytime during the game.
If the same was called against Iowa.,,,,I would be yelling at the player dumb enough to set an obvious moving screen.
She was moving and obviously slid into her path and raised the arm for good measure. That's a foul and anyone saying it wasn't doesn't no the rules, are in denial or stupid.
I don’t get the controversy. Swallowing the whistle late in the game should just be standard procedure? A foul is foul for sure. This controversy happens in every sport like the rules should change at the end of game. No pass interference on a Hail Mary in a football game. Dumb.
And if the foul isn't called? UConn has to launch a long desperation shot with under 4 seconds. Probably misses.
The slow mo video makes me want to give her an OL offer. Pretty good technique but wrong sport.
Yep I'd have to go back and rewatch but live it felt like that possession was going nowhere..
Could have gone either way. Yes. Refs do let a lot of stuff go late in the game to avoid these kinds of things I’m sure. But that doesn’t mean it was the wrong call.
They would have given back the game in the elite 8 if USC could hit anything. UConn missed like 7 straight FTs. But USC could not make a shot
Absolutely no way they can justify a foul on Gabby fighting through a screen that is that blatantly moving--body, legs and elbow. That is what they were saying.
I hate that "let the players decide the game" stuff if it means the refs have to completely swallow their whistles at the end of the game.
Yes, I do hate ticky tack calls, but that goes for the entire game. Not just the closing seconds. Call the obvious stuff, but otherwise let them play. That illegal screen late was obvious.
What is a foul in the first minute of a game should also be a foul in the closing moments.

Sure, and they could also have fouled the defender out on that call as she had 4 at the time,,,,,,
