Man that game had me on the edge of my seat! What a game. I saw some comments about the hair, lashes and makeup. I just want to say I feel like it's great representation. I was watching the game with my little niece and the first thing that caught her attention and made her sit and watch with me was the beautiful hair of some of the players. Then she saw how good the game was. I think it was a liberating thought to her that you can look how you want and still play your sport and play it well too. Now she's thinking of trying out at school. I love it!

Refs are terrible! They don't like calling fouls? Uconn got roughed up and fouled so many times with no calls. No calls for both sides but I believe there were way more no calls in favor of Baylor. Congratulations to Uconn!

Absolutely the truth. Paige was fouled a few times and the carry call on Evina was ridiculous.

Last play should’ve been a foul, but there were numerous fouls not called that game! Baylor had many chances to win even without their point guard. No controversy at all, that’s just sports. U get some calls and sometimes u don’t. The 19-0 run is what hurt them most of all besides losing their point guard to injury. Can’t blame the refs for either of those.

[@northerniggy8261]

Look at the points by quarter... they were only slight advantages (BY/UC=24/26-15/11-16/16-12/16). Neither team dominated, less than 4pts difference per quarter. This was pretty much a finals game match-up and could have gone either way. Lots of no-calls, lots of close-calls, but not many 'obvious' bad calls without going over the slow-motion replay to see them. Baylor shot 27% FG in the 4th quater.. UCONN 40%. Baylor has not much of a a 3pt game, so they needed those inside paint shots to land in the 4th to win... and they didn't. Baylor got to the foul line enough times to hold them close, but not enough to compensate for UCONN's 8 @ 3pt shots. 8 of 17 @ 3pts, 47%... just over a third their final point tally... gave UCONN the ability to catch up. Fun to watch, would like to see more like this.

Losing Didi Richards was a big difference.

[@johnangelo7962]

[@anthonyyusef5897]

Exactly... Where is the controversy? fouls weren't called all game. Paige was tripped at mid court forcing UCONN to use it's last time out which could've been huge. Was it a foul? by the rules probably. Is the officiating in the women's game usually poor, always has been. Did that call decide the game? absolutely not.. 2 free throws have to be made under pressure and Uconn would of have plenty of time to get a game winner.

@Christian Caballero I recall during the 2004 Midwest Region in Norman Oklahoma, Baylor went up against Tennessee and Pat Summit, There was a call just like that during the last seconds of the game, it was all tied up and Kim Mulkey begged the Ref not to let the game end on a call like that. Tasha Butts of Tennessee went to the charity stripe and made 2 free throws and in doing so gave Tennessee a 71-69 victory. In that game Kim was against the foul being called this time she wanted it......go figure.

[@ppumpkin3282]

@Christian Caballero What should be perfect? Refs are less likely to call a foul at the end of the game unless it's blatant. The fact that she was surrounded by three players, it was a terrible shot, and she did an acting job, didn't help her.

Odd. One of UConn's most effective defensive players started the game on a chair and stayed there all game. I don't recall much chatter about how different the game would have been with her in it even though it would have. You lose a player, next one up. The coach makes adjustments or in this case, doesn't make adjustments.

I say this because in the replay the uconn defense had their arms up but did not move them during the shot. The arms created a wall and even if you look closely created a roof. To try to shoot through that was crazy. Which is why she ended up on the floor. Not because she was fouled but because she hit the defensive roof.

UConn with the comeback win and an L for Kim Mulkey ... this might be my favorite combo ever. The 19-0 run is the cherry on top.

[@flyback33]

If you want to talk about no-calls, how about at 10:15 in this video when the Baylor girl grabs Bueckers arm going around the screen. Or when UConn was forced to burn a timeout when Baylor tackled Bueckers to the ground. Baylor plays dirty and then cries when they don't get a call.

Paige & Christian Williams are a better dynamic duo than BATMAN AND ROBIN! I was glad when that game ended so i could get off that roller coaster! ALL THE WAY HUSKIES!

[@paoloborghi2024]

Williams not at all, just searching power and contacts. Then she is too short and gives lots of turnovers. Against physical players in the WNBA will be very hard for her.

[@dianeverytall3397]

@@paoloborghi2024 There are many short players in WNBA. She will do just fine. After all the fabulous Miss "T" as in Taurasi is only an inch taller than Williams. She has a wonderful WNBA career.

[@paoloborghi2024]

@@dianeverytall3397 I am an experienced basketball coach, not a fan like you. I see a girl that try to force every single situation using more her power than her talent. All this can work against young teenagers in the Ncaa, surely not against experienced and mature players. The height is a key skill in this case, because you can play like this if you are tall and power enaugh and I don't see in her, a senior player don't forget it, such an edge to change her habits. She wants to play like Charles Barkley... but definitely she isn't like him... 😁

[@dianeverytall3397]

@@paoloborghi2024 I agree she has a lot to learn. But for someone so young she is making a wonderful entrance into the world of Women's Basketball. I don't think she wants to play like Charles Barkley, she only wants to be the best "HER" she can possibly be. For one so skilled in coaching as you claim to be, I would think you would know this.

[@paoloborghi2024]

@@dianeverytall3397 well I look at her game style and it's much more focussed on the use of power in 1vs1 than in team playing for example. You can make this with young teenagers in the college. Much more difficult versus professional women with formed and taller bodies.

[@ryanadams2308]

That last "foul" does not get called when you consider that: 1) it was the last shot of the game so if you're calling a foul there it better be pretty obvious 2) neither of the refs close by had a good angle to make that call since they were looking at the players' backs 3) both Edwards and Nelson-Ododa had good vertical position 4) it was blatantly obvious Harrington was looking for a bailout foul and the refs were clearly wise to that. 5) the refs let them play for the entire game, mostly against UConn

[@bertjones3010]

Russell - Hello! Hey, you know, it always hurts when the last play is controversial and it's the one that sticks in your head the most. Yet, one has to ask themselves, what else happened over that 40 mins of play that had impact enough to make it controversial? And this game is not the only one that fans could take issue with. I just watched the overtime portion of Mich vs Baylor. DiDi double dribbles - no call. Next to last foul could be argued as a jump ball. In this game, were one to go back and count the controversial calls, you've find quite a few (And I have no idea who that affected more between the two teams and I don't care but they're there if you care to watch again.) But probably the biggest contributing factor of Baylor losing was when DiDi went out of the game how did the rest of team respond? And honestly, this is all on the players on the court's fault - they allowed UConn to run 19 straight points. As great as Carrington was over the course of the game, a lot of that fell on the her shoulders turning the ball over 3 times and not involving her teammates hardly at all. After that run, I do not believe that Carrington scored any more points but the rest of the team closed the gap. So yes, it was a controversial call (glad I didn't have to make or not make the call) but that call was not a one off. Should Baylor have let them run 19 straight points? Well anyway, you get my point. I've NEVER been a UConn fan, though I have to admit I am a Paige fan and can't wait to see how she plays with Azzi Fudd next year. One of the reasons, sans her height of 5'11" is she doesn't look like a baller. And if she actually does get better (coach says she has areas to work on) all I can say is "wow". Regards,

On "the play", focus on the position of the officials. The baseline official was on the opposite side and just saw the backs of the defenders. The only official who could have called the foul was the one on the left wing, and all she saw was a shooter force a shot against two defenders with their arms fully extended. I really don't think whistle-happy officials would be good for the game. Coach Mulkey even said it was going to be an "ugly" game.
