Games over. Scoreboard!

Thats one of the more blatant illegal screens you'll ever see. The elbow isnt so much of a problem but it probably is what put it over the top for the official. Only screen more blatant is the ones where a screener runs up from behind a defender and doesnt stop before contact is made(screens from outside the screened player must allow for at least one step).

Yeah there are a lot of screens where a screener leans out a bit that arent called, usually because they whiffed the defender or the contact isnt enough to cause a disadvantage to the defender.

There are many illegal screens in the course of any given game. Officials overlook most of them. I think UCoon got called for a total of 4 in that game, Iowa did not get called for any. The UConn coach said they would have to do a better job of disguising their screens in the future, lol. He was not using that as an excuse for their loss, pretty much a class guy.

The screen was a foul, you can't really argue that. I was surprised they called it at that point in the game. Official tend to swallow their whistles in the last 30 seconds of close games and let the players battle it out.

If it had happened at any other point in the game, no one would be saying a thing about it.

Last year's national championship game was officiated horribly and left a bad feel about the outcome because poor officiating had way too much influence over the outcome of the game. I hope this year is much better officiated.

You do the crime, you do the time.

a lot of good came out of womens basketball this year if they had a rematch i dont know who i iwould bet on ucon iowa sc very entertaining tournment

Would have liked for Caitlan Clark to have gone out with a national championship, but she's not diminished one bit, a true great for all time.

Considering Iowa put SC out of the tournament last year, it's no surprise they wanted Iowa like no other.

Fitting that Iowa beat LSU in the final last year, Iowa beat SC in the final 4 last year, made for some great games period .
