*****UCONN vs Iowa (W) Game Thread*****

God I hate ESPN. Looks like they are going to stir the pot.
I think critiques of the call are fine. What gets me is assuming UConn makes a bucket there. Frankly Iowa has recovered and it was going to be a forced shot. Also the conspiracy theory folks drove me nuts. If there is a conspiracy there is absolutely no way you wait for that moment. It would have been very easy to foul out 2-3 UCONN players of there was a conspiracy.
 
Just want to point out that there is probably a greater than 50% chance that regardless of the foul that UConn misses the shot anyways. People seem to be assuming that UCON scores if the foul isn't made.
right right, but people are mad about taking away that chance. like being called offsides on a recovered onside kick.

The UConn campus is pretty much literally ESPN's backyard, so of course they are going to skew all viewpoints in their favor.

Gabby did a good job of selling that call. Personally, I thought it was a foul, but pretty tough to call in that situation. I mean, if that would have been us, this board would be blowing up.

Like an illegal fair catch signal….lol
 
diana taurasi , “ that offensive foul didn’t need to be called, they still got over the screen” uhhh wut, gabby was like 5 ft away from the ball handler after the chicken wing. Iowa had good help defense still, but the illegal screen still provided an advantage. Don’t screen with your arms out side of your shoulders, that is pretty easy to avoid.

It was an obvious foul. Still moving. Hip jutted out. Elbow extended.
Yes, clearly it was a foul. But the sad reality is that fouls are not called evenly throughout the game. No one is complaining if that gets called with 6 minutes to play in the second quarter. But the BS narrative that the game should be decided by the players and not the refs ignores the fact that the refs change the outcome by not calling an obvious foul.
