Women's collegiate basketball is everything the men's game used to be. Big-name superstars who attract interest and ratings. Players staying with their teams for several seasons, leading not only to continuity but to enticing rematches of the same players. I've never been a fan of women's hoops until the past couple of seasons. Now I am.
The last second call against UConn was perhaps an unfortunate call, but it wasn't a bad call. Edwards clearly did a moving screen that most of the time would have been called with no controversy. The ref was perfectly correct to call it; letting it go might have been more controversial.
The problem was that UConn's Edwards put the ref in the position where the decision had to be made. If you don't want a controversial call, then don't foul!
I would have liked to have seen a shot taken in those last few seconds; that it wasn't is on the UConn player, not the ref.
I have also watched so little women’s basketball but watched the Iowa games this year, and I thought it was i interesting how CC operated in the Final 4 games. She seemed to either create her own 3 or pass the ball inside effectively for a lot of easy shots.
But my question - why don’t they set her some picks for her 3s? Is that typically how she operates?
Red Grange invented pro football when he turned pro. Interestingly, he was a better defensive back than offensive player in the pros. It didn't matter, and only proved the pros were better. There was a player named Johnny Blood who played on Saturday as John McNally.

So - throw the wife under the bus. Steph always requires better guard defense. She’s a genius!!
It definitely was a foul.
I remember when Iowa girls in smaller high schools played a shooter and defender game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-on-six_basketball
They used to graduate amazing shooters and amazing defenders, but not the same player : ) Clark reminds me of the shooters
I wonder how many gamblers are convinced the game was fixed?
