lmao when he was one of the only people defending the call i did have an inner doubt like "are we on the wrong side of this argument?"
The refs usually get it right. The foul by Edwards, the fake fair catch by Cooper DeJean…they’re human but pretty good at what they do.

FTR we all still hate Cowherd for the whole fake id of college football thing right?
Dude. What are you doing pulling this shit? You didn’t even ask me. Good one though.
it is funny to me how jealous most of the wnba and former wnba players are of clark. they are completely irrational
I love how the narrative from UConn fans and Iowa haters has changed from “that wasn’t a foul” to “okay, yeah, it was obviously a foul…but you can’t call a foul in the final seconds of the game - you have to let the players decide the outcome.”
Okay. Let’s pretend for a moment that Edwards set a perfectly legal pick on Gabbie and Bueckers launched the potential game-winning shot. But Stuelke hits her on the arm during the shot, causing her to miss.
Do we call that foul or are we still letting the players decide the outcome?

Apparently the narrative is now "you can't make that call there, let the players decide the game." Feels like people aren't disputing it was a foul. So gaining an advantage by setting an illegal screen is letting the players decide? I'm having a hard time following the logic.
Help me understand this nonsense. Because I surely don’t.
CLEVELAND – The officials just couldn’t help themselves.
Caitlin Clark and Iowa. Paige Bueckers and UConn. The teams battling in a prize-fight worthy of a game, a spot in the national championship game on the line.
And the refs had to go and make it about them.
After a season’s worth of bad calls, inconsistencyand a lack of transparency, the end of what was a spectacular game was marred by an offensive foul call with three seconds left and UConn trailing 70-69. Whether it was the right call or not – replays did seem to show Aaliyah Edwards threw her elbow at Gabbie Marshall on a screen-rescreen, and her stance was considerably wider than her shoulders, which is not allowed – is largely irrelevant.
Players play the game. They should get the chance to decide it, too.
Huh?? Largely irrelevant? 😂

The blue blood didn't get the call outrage is ****ing delicious.
Incredible, Hawkeye fans are the best.
Right, that dude doesn’t know basketball as well as someone like Portnoy!
You seriously that dug into it being a bad call? Lol. Textbook illegal screen. Stretched leg way out and then extends arm and hits her. Lol
It was a perfectly legal play…if Edwards was a left tackle and she was trying to protect her QB from Gabbie.
Clark has taken some unwarranted, unnecessary shots in the last couple weeks which have reeked of jealousy. There are a few other players may have been more talented or won more championships, but the TV numbers and the below tweet has never freaking happened
The real headline is the second bullet point. That is the lead story.
If I was in Cleveland you betcho ass I’d bet there. Realistically we won’t be back to a championship game for a LONG time, maybe ever.
Being point out on Twitter that there is a legit chance the Women’s Title game on ESPN will have a higher rating than Men’s Title game on CBS.
