Games Thread - The Final Four

[DICKnaggie]

Watching the women's final 4 and S. Carolina has some amazing shooters. Very lopsided game.

So when asked, Geno Auriemma, said they wouldn't be able to stop Clark so they would have to stop everyone else (something like that). I don't know if I've ever seen anyone guarded so heavily! So far it's working, we'll see if it lasts.

Iowa looks terrible (so far).

The strategy of absolutely blanketing Caitlin has worked so far. We’ll see what happens when Connecticut’s 8 players get tired.

or foul out

Some real parallels exist between our UCONN game and Iowa vs. UCONN.

There is nothing worse than a happy Iowa fan.

1. 5 players on the court are wearing UConn jerseys
2. ...someone else can take a turn

How about a whiny Northwestern fan?

(Nah, on second thought…you’re probably right.)

Oooo, that’s a very close second.

My money is on the girl that can do it all. Clark is prolly gonna find a way to carry her team over the finish line first.

What a time for an offensive foul!

Lousy call. Let them play.

 

[tcb13]

Free throws are important!

 

[tcb13]

That was smart!

 

[Chad Fleck]

Yeah, I can't believe they called that.

 

[derrick6]

Ridiculous call

 

[ChiIllini75]

Terrible call, but it should give the gift of a super presser from Geno.

I was hoping. My point was that UCONN shut Clark down for most of the game (like TSJ) dominated in the paint, and controlled the game on the defensive end as in our game. Fun game all in all. I don't watch women's ball much and I was amazed by the lack of fouls called. Very different flow when there isn't a foul called every 30 seconds.

Happy for Caitlin Clark, but I believe Mr. Blue Hands has forever forfeited his Illini fan card.

Not the same guy

A foul is a foul no matter what time of the game it happens. If they dont call it and Bueckers makes the shot is that ok?

Problem is they didn't call it all game when both teams were doing it. Can't call it then if that is the case

Agree. They allowed Clark to clear out several times with her free arm.

Truth is refereeing is impossible. There are so many calls that can go either way. And even other referees can't agree what is right. This particular call looked like a foul to me. A Nnanna Egwu special.
