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
― lag∞n, Saturday, 6 April 2024 03:36 (five months ago) link
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
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 6 April 2024 03:38 (five months ago) link
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.— Mike Prada. (PRAY-duh) (@MikePradaNBA) April 6, 2024

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
― Clay, Saturday, 6 April 2024 05:34 (five months ago) link
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— Oluwajomiloju (@JomiAdeniran) April 6, 2024

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

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

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.
― 145 feet up in a Jeffrey Pine (Sufjan Grafton), Saturday, 6 April 2024 16:56 (five months ago) link
yeah idk with any other team i might agree with you, but uconn brings the whole northeast
― the defenestration of prog (voodoo chili), Saturday, 6 April 2024 17:26 (five months ago) link
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
― lag∞n, Saturday, 6 April 2024 17:40 (five months ago) link
people who dont watch basketball have unprompted talked to me about her
― lag∞n, Saturday, 6 April 2024 17:41 (five months ago) link
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 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

there is no yankees of womens hoops, which is why were you to do a conspiracy to put someone in the champ game you would push the button for catlin clark, so that some day there can been a womens hoops yankees

kevin k notable basketball fan and uconn alum had not even watched a uconn womens game this season before yesterday, which is frankly speaking shameful

uconn women have won 10 championships in the last 25 years and reached the final four 10 *other* times. they're a lot more dominant than the yankees

we needed to call in an extra server at my bar last night because it was so busy for the *women’s final four game* and it wasn’t uconn fans despite their quarter century of dominance. Clark is a phenomenon that’s moving the sport into the mainstream. why oh why would the powers that be want that to persist

ofc they're pleased to have one more game that showcases Clark and draws more viewers as a result. more viewers makes more money. but their pleasure didn't generate the foul call. an obvious and undeniable offensive foul generated that call.

I’d really like to see UConn get beat tonight, but Alabama is so helter skelter, you never know.I’d think it will take a Rollie Vnova game to beat UConn.
Matt Painter is from where I grew up with, so I saw him play in high school at Delta. Even being an IU alumni, I can’t cheer against the old PU in this case, but I’d be ok with NC state winning it all as I definitely don’t want UConn to win another or hear that roll tide bs.
