    West Virginia did nothing but foul all game and dare the refs to call it. Clark was literally bleeding from her leg at one point. Every rebound had people being thrown to the ground. There was nothing unfair about the foul calls.

    While I don't disagree that WV guards were active and physical, I don't believe the two teams received the same whistle, particularly on drives to the basket after the game was tied with a couple of minutes left. As mentioned, Clark also was playing physically and got away with several push offs. Also late in the game, a WV player was called for a foul on a rebound and the officials reviewed it for an upgrade for a hook and hold. Unfortunately for the refs, it was the Iowa player who committed the hook and hold so they stuck with a common foul against WV player. Bad.

    I am a neutral observer who has enjoyed watching Clark these last two years, but I want evenly-called authentic competition, not a pre-determined narrative.

    Shit, brink was acting like she didn’t think she even fouled her.

    eta- maybe they are saying that the foul occurred after the block, so loose ball foul?

    I watched most of this game and this was Stanford's defense against Crooks all night. Bring you arms down and maul her knowing the refs would protect Tara and her girls. There is a reason Crooks was 3-21. Brinks should have fouled out three times. Just a horrible display of officiating.

    Oh and Emily Ryan is incredible, dare I say the next Caitlin Clark.

    Not if the two best teams were in the same league.

    Or division. In 1993, the Giants, with Barry Bonds, went 103-59 and missed the playoffs to a Braves team that went 104-58.
