Not could have, should have. That is a terrible missed call. Once they didn't call it, they had to call the foul on Olsen.

They should all have gone quiet in the huddle so McCabe could look coach in the eye and say “I’ll make it”
I feel like the plays drawn up at the end of the game don’t usually work out the way they’re drawn up. Which is why we needed to have all shooters on the floor who can make it from deep.
There isn’t a team in women’s college basketball this year that could play with any of last year’s final four teams and maybe the elite 8…
And yes, I’m a little frustrated and I’m being a little petty… But this South Carolina team couldn’t beat last years, South Carolina team or Iowa. In fact there isn’t a team in college basketball this year that I think could play within 10 points of last years Iowa team.
I thought that team was Notre Dame, and it probably still is but they lost to North Carolina state today.
UConns conference is a ****ing joke. The SEC is the best league but they don’t have any juggernauts. The big 10 is the second best league, depends on who you ask (@littlez 😉 ) maybe the best and they also have no juggernauts. Just because you’re 26 - 1 doesn’t mean you’re ****ing great.
For the first time in history… And I literally mean this, I will be actively rooting against a couple Big Ten teams in the tournament. UCLA & tOSU to start!
I’ll probably be OK with Nebraska & Michigan State by that time… Although that one girl from Michigan State, I just don’t like her look. I know that’s a shitty thing to say but give me some grace. I’m pissed.!!! 😡
I thought Betts clearly got a piece of that shot.
That settles it.
*Just didn't shoot well in the 4th. Makeables they couldn't get to go in.
If Lucy is just a little bit more on target today, this ends with a big upset. Played really hard, but was never in that mid-range zone that wins them games. She was just off the whole game.
The last two plays, defense and then offense, were just really unfortunate. Chance to tie or win and they end up with an O'Grady 3pt shot? An airball. Welp. 😐 That's a play I bet they would like to have back. Just about anything else had a chance of a foul, rebound foul, or tip.
Kudos to Lucy for tying the game with three clutch pressure free throws.
Hannah's miss with a minute to go was pretty bad.
Outrebounded in the second half.
They slso put the locks on McCabe.
Hell of an effort to stick right with them though. Thought they could do it. Team has taken some really tough losses.

think what a win today would have done to Iowa's NCAA Tournament resume.
Oh, well. That's sports, baby.
I knew when Lucy tied it up the refs would call a foul
Thanks for sharing - she was moving, put out an elbow and extended a leg which tripped Lucy. Should have been an offensive foul on the screener.
Whoa….I mean F-ING WHOA!!! Not only was that a trip she was moving, and by moving, I mean, sticking her ****ing leg further out, that’s a big-time foul!!!!!!!!!!
You know how they say you never wanna make a foul call @ the end of a game that changes the outcome?!?!
What these dumb MFers never say is not calling an obvious foul potentially changes the outcome of the game. This certainly did!
I wish you hadn’t showed me that. I’m even more ****ing pissed now.!!!

Tough loss. We played pretty ugly, Lucy not as hot as she has been. Just too many bad/missed shots as a team. We pulled UCLA into the ugly but couldn't quite do it. The last foul was horse shit as were a number of other ones, we were getting mugged and nothing while they give them touch fouls. Stuelke's prayer shots around the rim are really hurting, too many misses. The play call to have her drive to the basket down 2 late was an awful low percentage play as was the final shot at the end. They needed to put the two bigs on the bench and get a couple more capable shooters in for that play.
UCLA was grabbing and holding and shoving her all over the damn court, and not ONE %^%$# foul was called. Betts should have fouled out in the first half. But of course throwing an elbow when you turn to shoot is just fine. No foul there, just when Iowa gets all ball . . . then THAT's a foul, by gawd.
This reffing is exactly what I was afraid of, and it's the kinda BS that makes basketball such a frustrating thing to watch. You see the injustice right before your eyes, but there's not a damn thing you can do about it . . . kinda like the deal in DC right now.
No they didn't. Don't call the first foul, then don't call the collision. A no call would have been just fine there. In fact, it would have been fair whereas not making the original call but then making the other one was totally unfair.
I so badly want Hannah to make me eat crow going forward, but I don't trust her. She seems to have benefited from CC the most. Too many layup attempts are just bad and have no chance.
"Put the locks on McCabe" is right, but the way they did it--grabbing, holding, pushing--is illegal. So there's that.
Good effort and very proud of this team.
I still don't get that lineup on the last possesion. Why have OGrady and Steulke on the floor? To set picks? They should had a lineup full of shooters. That was how it played out. Have your 5 take a wide open shot. UCLA would take that every time.

Fellas I see we have our residential, obsessed Nebbie fan back. I love how much Iowas sports programs are in his head 😂 how does an even a semi-intelligent human being not see how bad it makes them look. Did you ever think we’d own Nebraska fans like that 🥰
Actually, that's not sports . . . it's &*^%$ BIG officiating.
I told my wife we've been really bad in these situations with little time on the clock to get a good shot off. Still nobody should be comparing first year Jan to Fran.

you realize what themeans, correct?
Yes…I’m mad, sorry
Thanks for this… That literally made me laugh out loud… In fact, I can’t stop laughing. I needed that.!!!
It’s funny… I avoid the Iowa men’s basketball board because I don’t hate Fran, I guess I’m just tired of it all. And since I’m a defense first guy, it’s super frustrating watching his teams play. In fact, I rarely watch them play anymore. But I did happen to watch the end of that Washington game, just the end and I did tell my son of all the the things Fran McCaffrey isn’t….he is as good as there is at drawing up in bounds plays… and I mean one of the best of all time… he’s phenomenal at it
Just rewatched Lucy’s foul. Horrendous call. Not even house league refs should make that call. Clear trip by UCLA player. My guess is Beth gets a call by Tuesday from league office saying, oops, we messed the call up but the loss still stands.
This was a very IM- @Moral ending!
Abso-fvcking-lutely…. I have watched USC play probably eight times, and I have now watched UCLA a couple. I will give them credit for being extremely physical, but they do not have great athletes. They held and grabbed and shoved us all game long.
If you have better athletes, you don’t have to do that🤷♂️
Yeah. That’s actually a moving screen and exactly what UCONN got dinged for against Iowa in the Final Four. She kicked her leg out while sliding out.
You’re right Fran is good at those. Game before Dana Altman for Oregon put on a clinic with a couple good sets for easy baskets.
I feel the same way sometimes! That’s why I couldn’t resist posting that 😉
Can't screen with your leg out like that, planted or not.
He is a good coach, didn’t see the game, but not surprised. Forgotten he was out there
Not exactly sure what you’re saying but if you see the video above, Lucy broke to follow the girl and the screen was late and her foot came down wide of her shoulders right in front of Lucy‘s leg 🤷♂️
Bingo… multiple things wrong there. Too wide, too late, and moving towards the player,, because she was too late incidentally.
This angle she moved to trip Lucy. F the officials.
Yeah, I don’t like to be that way… It’s foolish thanks for correcting me in a humorous way🥰
