[@bbwolfe6144]

Credit to West Virginia's defense, now if they can improve on it and not foul so much they would be a powerhouse. It was their defined strength that did them in. I actually think they could have been called for even more fouls but hey, we'd still be there if that were the case. The amount of fouls called against them was not an oddity but a norm. In closing, Iowa played West Virginia's game and used it to score by creating many of those foul calls. They are a smart team.

[@MrGeneric2011]

A lot of physical play from West Virginia that became more physical as the game went on. Refs had to start calling it eventually.

Except you can't do that as credible referees. You can't call a game one way all game long, and then when the star player and biggest TV draw is under the threat of losing, you can't all of a sudden change the way you referee a game. What the referees did was borderline fixing the game. I get it, ratings would be absolutely abysmal compared to what they are now without Caitlin Clark, but this was almost blatant. As a basketball fan, I was really enjoying this game right up until the end. It was a hard-fought battle until the referees took matters into their own hands.

[@vh448]

WV deserves a lot of credit for limiting the top rank offense in the country. they implemented their coach's plan perfectly but Kudos to Iowa for finding ways to win. they show they can win with defense. WV fans can complain about officiating but they got the calls right mostly. WV players were aggressive from start to finish not giving Iowa much room to work. Iowa fans should be happy because if they can win a gritty physical game like this in addition to having an explosive offense, they can beat anybody.

[@seven0314]

The IOWA Hawkeyes came uncomfortably close to losing their game with the West Virginia Mountaineers this evening. Caitlin Clark sent packing in her final game in Carver Hawkeye Arena in front of 15,000 fans would have been horrific. I have got to hand it to West Virginia coach Mark Kellogg. His team had the Hawkeyes in disarray for most of the game. It was by no means a pretty performance by the Hawkeyes. In fact, the team shot just 36 percent from the field and 23 percent from deep. That’s due much to WVU’s impressively scrappy and restless defense for a full 40 minutes tonight.

[@wymple09]

Which is why they fouled so much. It was their only chance, tho. Would have been a blowout if even one of Clark's team mates had made a single 3 pointer.

[@traceyhughes2540]

@seven0134 You’ve got a point there… there was no way the NCAA/refs were going to send #22 packing, especially on her home court. Those whistles were on fire in that fourth quarter.

[@laurasolomon2491]

For sure, WV played unbelievably tight and aggressive on the ball defense, which was a tremendous game plan bc they’re faster than Hawkeyes, the risk you take with that kind of physicality is getting into foul trouble. Iowa played of their 3 point shooters and baited WV into taking 12 more threes than is normal for them. It was ultimately a defensive battle, which can be seen from the low scoring. Well played WV!

You are 100% correct, all have too much time and money invested in CC to let her fizzle out in the second round. It will be interesting to see what happens when Iowa starts playing other high profile women teams. Think they will sit still for this one sided officiating?

WV came out with hacking at them as a main part of their strategy. They had to. If you think it’s unfair roll back the whole game and look at all the early non-calls they got away with. Don’t just look at one part of the game. Everyone calls unfair sometimes but you have to look at the whole game

[@hawkkwah3108]

That’s why you need stock coming into these type of games. You need a star player, somebody who has eyes on them, someone who’s must watch tv (money) because if not you will get screwed in this game.

Actually that’s how WV plays. When they played Princeton 2 days prior. Both teams had 56 free throws. A total of 56. There was only 35 total in iowas game. WV loves to play up in your face style of defense. That’s how the coach plays them. They have played that way all year. I bet they’ve got the most called fouls of a team this Year. Go look it up. I bet they in the top 5. WV coach even said that was his game plan.

[@travisweese2992]

Alot of questionable calls on WVU... They couldn't have WVUs take out Iowa on their home Court. The free throw deficit was out of control. The final quarter Iowa went 14-17 and WVU shot 1 free throw.

This whole tournament is about marketing women's college basketball. Why do you think lowa State didn't take a game-winning 3 at the buzzer in overtime last night. You really think the NCAA is about to have Caitlin Clark, Cameron Brink, Juju Watkins, Hannah Hidalgo, Paige Bueckers, or Angel Reese lose in the first two rounds? The refs are protecting the NCAA's financial interest. I feel bad for the hard-working players on the other side who know that the games have been decided before tip-off.

Some of the calls in this game were VERY QUESTIONABLE and because IOWA is home it's of course going in their favor. The game tied in the 4th, and there was a charge call that was not good in my opinion. There was then a layup where the center it looks like or PF went up for a lay-up and was barely touched and with these two calls --not called or being called correctly, I definitely say we have a different ball game. Overall.. Great game though and congrats to CC for a record-breaking season

[@Rnybro]

How can any team hope to win playing the "foul" game? WV was "touching" Iowa offense much of the game. Iowa generally needed a broom to reach Wv's offence. Look objectively and closely. Use the 25% playback speed found in the gear icon. WV's 33's foul on Iowa's big looked like a wrestling takedown and pin- did you notice she had 45's arm wrapped up?

[@dmilesdjm]
