NCAA HOOP

nice

its cool that the top end talent sticks around for multiple years. builds continuity and rivalries.

yeah and you're actually watching the best young players in the world in women's college, while the best young men's players in the world play for the oklahoma city thunder

i’m hoping this ncaaw renaissance pushes more wnba expansion. as much as i love watching the aces beat the breaks off teams, there is just so much talent concentrated in a league of 12 teams.

otm

yeah WNBA really needs more roster spots

who's gonna win
who's gonna lose

ive got tourney fever

uconn will win both it is a year that ends in 4

good game, bloody noses, tough d, good stuff

tragic end of quarter possession there for iowa

beautiful shot by Clark. that was like a James Harden move

that was nasty

that was nasty

haa xp

that’s wasn’t fair she didn’t even have any separation

the women might lose this one tho not sure any of them except paige are actually good, first game watching tho

oooh it's not over

admittedly not sure how iowa normally plays but it seems like they could be doing some things better

not great stuff

correction the center lady is good

wow weird

lmao. weak off ball offensive foul call in a big moment, super good look for the game

yeah thats interesting

the officiating throughout has been not amazing

iowa has won the final four and will move on to the final two

i do kind of think that was a moving screen

it was even kind of bad she threw an elbow but i still dont think you call that there

i get it, the whole game was called poorly and they did not respond to the moment, but the that's not a foul people are wrong

yeah felt a lot like the Chiefs/Eagles Super Bowl, amazing game marred by a foul call at the end

it was the right call though...I guess....

The thing is, when you call timeout instead of playing in chaos to draw up an intricate play like that, you run the risk of not executing it perfectly and potentially setting a (barely) illegal screen.

joe mazzulla vindicated

clearly a bad call. that’s life I guess

Gross ending

12 million watched the elite 8 game. Gotta make sure Clarke is in the final again.

Yes I'm a cynical bastard

had the same thought unfortunately. dreadful call obv

maybe we don’t want something like that called with three seconds left — and possibly they’d been letting that go all night, idk — but in a vacuum that was absolutely a foul

this one, however, yeesh

They called this foul against UCONN btw, I need a Congressional investigation tomorrow pic.twitter.com/6EjJ4oOEtZ

i really don’t think there’s a ref conspiracy against *connecticut women’s basketball* you guys

we accidentally recorded the Taurasi/Bird show version of the game, which really highlighted how poorly Uconn women's basketball is treated

lmao

if theres a conspiracy the motivation to get catlin clark in the final outweighs the historical primacy of uconn by many multiples

bad play

This angle doesn’t help my argument 😂😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/W6jIjCSv9m

Uconn played an aggressive style that will always dare the refs to make a call. They can't complain when the risk of their gameplan is realized.

yeah idk with any other team i might agree with you, but uconn brings the whole northeast

speaking as a northeast resident there is not some big uconn womens hoops fandom, or even the mens team for that matter, maybe in connecticut i remember talking to a guy there once who was into it, but catlin clark is so easily the biggest phenomenon the sport has seen

people who dont watch basketball have unprompted talked to me about her

if there was a conspiracy here, then it must have included the UConn player who set the flagrantly moving body slam screen that picked off the Iowa defender

it’s been pretty big in westchester/nyc metro for a couple of decades now, not to mention connecticut, where the worldwide leader happens to be based. back to rebecca lobo for more updates

are we talking about the part of nyc metro thats in stamford here

where i grew up: westchester county, north of the bronx, west of conn

it has been a thing in the city too for a while.

no denying that caitlin clark is the most popular and compelling star the women’s game has possibly ever had, but uconn is the establishment. the sport’s notre dame football, lakers/celtics, yankees, etc
