NCAA Tournament 2022-23

Are we watching basketball or the zebra show? My goodness this is pathetic.

I can’t stand Clark’s attitude.

 

[Holy Man]

I can’t stand Clark’s attitude.

I don’t see her behaving much differently than most star players. They mostly act like all calls should go their way. She’s had a couple really bad ones against her.

 

[SHGopher]

At the half, live betting odds have LSU by 13.5 points.

Soft defense by Iowa with hot LSU shooting.

Inexplicable officiating.

Caitlin Clark with 3 fouls may make a comeback hampered.

 

[Gopherguy0723]

Game over. LSU is shooting out of their minds. Some due to luck, some due to what the defense is allowing. Regardless, it's over.

 

[Holy Man]

Fringe player for LSU MVP so far. Formula for victory. Amazing performance.

Iowa is favored by 1.5 points over LSU in the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship Game, Sunday.

"Caitlin" and her team vs "Bayou Barbie" and her team.

Geez, wish I’d jumped on that line.

 

[SHGopher]

Iowa needs to play Caitlin Clark all the way. If she fouls out then the NCAA will have to live with that atrocious officiating.

 

[GopherGal_]

I’m at the game and the refs have gotten themselves into a game of make-up calls. Wildly inconsistent in how they’re calling hand checking, IMO.

In other news, LSU shooting ~75% from 3. 101 total first half points.

Look at Sophie Gustafson a few years ago from IO. Too slow, could not shoot a 3 after being a star . Czinano will b the same…z

Megan* Gustafson

I think it’s the same trend we’re seeing on the men’s side; there isn’t really a place for your traditional center at the next level. The modern game is definitely geared for a long slasher/positionless kind of forward.

Yeah, I was channeling Sophie Hart, lol. Thx !

[Holy Man]

If they get six, have them play another eight minutes. It’s not the number of fouls. It’s the crappy refs.

 

[cncmin]

Now the refs are just handing the game to LSU. They let LSU run through the Iowa players, jump over and push on their backs. Then they call Iowa for the same thing or less on the other end. This looks like a Minnesota at Wisconsin game…in the Bo Ryan era. Iowa is right to be frustrated.

 

[Gopherguy0723]

These refs are a joke. This is a very sorry excuse for officiating. It's one of the worst I've seen.

Women’s game is not being served well by the refs.

 

[Gopherguy0723]

Women’s game is not being served well by the refs.

Is it their mission to turn off millions of viewers by calling a BS game? There are mystery calls, both for obvious fouls and obvious non-fouls, against both teams.

LSU really, really shooting the ball well though. There are days like this though when everything seems to go your way…LSU seems to be having one of those days. Good for the girls on that team.

Mulkey is quite the coach. Not sure what she does differently from everyone else, but she is clearly an outstanding presence.

LSU deserves to win, but the officials took over the game's narrative. It became the refshow in one of the most viewed games ever.

The women playing and the game overall deserve much more than this travesty.

I just want to say this: no matter how you feel about either team, Angel Reese trying to get up in Caitlin’s face with the “ring me” taunt before the final buzzer was a little much.

 

[Holy Man]

I just want to say this: no matter how you feel about either team, Angel Reese trying to get up in Caitlin’s face with the “ring me” taunt before the final buzzer was the epitome of a classless player. I hope scouts took note of that exchange.

I was wondering what that was and couldn’t tell that she was taunting Caitlin.

It's too bad because Reese is probably the 2nd best player in the country after Clark.

Agreed. Disgusting but CC with her MJ shrugs n U can’t c me gestures don’t evoke any sympathy from me.

 

[Gopherguy0723]

She did the "You can't see me!" That's not a ring taunt. Clark did that in the Elite Eight. It's classless, but Clark has to be able to take it if she's going to dish it.

LSU’s bench points were the difference .

 

[GringaGopher]

Disappointed in the officiating in this game, seems too touchy ofcalls and taking stars out of the game

Horrible and they detracted from the quality of the game. IO fans will feel like they got robbed but the bad calls went both ways . In the end the bench points and LSU’s hot shooting cost them the game.

 

[Bunyan]

Feeling as though that referee crew did not want the Iowa Hawkeyes to win. Just saying..

 

[Roland Brooks]

Agreed. Disgusting but CC with her MJ shrugs n U can’t c me gestures don’t evoke any sympathy from me.

Exactly both are great players both like attention
