Last two minutes of West Virginia vs Iowa

May I say a Dad of twins daughters , I'm so in love with your family and the support and the time and support you have given her thru the years . She has made Old men Fan's of the ladies that play Basketball . I will always follow Caitlin Clark until the day it's over for me . She will continue to brake records . Thanks to Caitlin , but Thanks to MOM & DAD for such a gift to woman's Sports .

Not good at sports -- never have been. Not a sports fan -- don't attend games, don't watch sports , until recently, on television. But I've discovered the best entertainment: the Iowa Woman's Basketball Team, all great players. Caitlin Clark is the Annie Oakley of our century. Thank goodness for Title Nine. I'm enjoying the evolving idea of what "womanhood" means .

I've heard so many people complaning about sketchy ref calls on this game. Then I watch this and it's like...the refs called it right. West virginia was fouling like a mfer

WTG Iowa. It continues. But props for WV defense. Damn good.

Hey 6:33 miss announcer that was an intentional foul against Hannah look at her feet and when the arms got entangled.WV Moore meant to hurt her. Unnecessary roughness.

This Iowa team misses Molly D. Fingers crossed she will be healed up enough to play soon. She's the stronger option when CC needs a breather too.

West Virginia has been winning games with a 'pokey' style of in your face defense all year long. Stop everyone acting so surprised that they had a ton of fouls. I also don't appreciate them being labeled as Thugs. It's their style of play and has gotten them very far with a good record. Kudos to Iowa for being gritty and pulling this one out.

West Virginnia is a prelude of what to expect from LSU. Tough defense, drawing fouls, ball stealing, turnovers. GO HAWKEYES!!!!!!!!

After watching a few times, at 23 seconds, it looks like #33 hooks her arm under Stuelke's arm and pulls them both down on their backs.

Last two minutes,...14 minute video. I swear the ends of these games get longer and longer.

5:56.. Right before Stuelke is dragged to the floor, watch for the "backfist" by WV 00 that nearly takes Caitlin Clarks head off. Stuelke was taken to the floor MULTIPLE times with no call? The officiating in this game was atrocious. WV has a tough defense I'll give them that, but the amount of no calls by the refs was beyond me. Letting the players play is a common statement, but then what is the point of having them on the court? Someone is going to get seriously hurt, this is BASKETBALL NOT MMA assholes.

Looks like WV was playing football. The number 33 player had Hannahs arm as she took her down

Hard fought game. Hawks found a way to win. The better team won.

As an Iowa fan, I don’t see the problem with how West Virginia played. They play a very aggressive defenses that was not “thug” like. Yes common fouls happen, but not much overly aggressive play. Hanna is an athletic 4, not a true center. She doesn’t do well with physical centers. Not her fault, Iowa needs a real center in this offense. Colorado is physical. If we win ucla and LSU are very physical. And Cardozo (if we win) after that…..the Shaq of women’s basketball. Go Hawks! Let/s stay classy folks.

I don’t have a horse in this race at all - just a fan of the game - but I do not think that WVU “got hosed by the refs” at all.

Consider this- WV averages 19 fouls per game, that’s a lot.. and, that’s an average- meaning they’ve had plenty of games this season with over 20 fouls. Take a look at their loss to OU, where the Sooners shot like 30 free throws. Quite simply- this is how they play their game. It seemed pretty obvious from the opening whistle that they were going to take their normal defense (19 fouls per game) up a notch to try and fluster Clark… and it did! Actually a really good strategy against a high scoring team.

The problem with this style is when you don’t hit shots, and your opponent is in the bonus late. WV went cold and then had to use 4 fouls just to stop the clock. Iowa made their free throws. WV not making shots, but giving Iowa high percentage free throws. You live by the sword, you die by the sword.

Overall I’d say that there were a couple of bad calls both ways. But not an “inside job” as people suggest. If WV getting called for more fouls than their opponent is somehow nefarious- then you’d have to believe the officials we’re ‘out to get them’ during 28 games this season. And that’s just not true either.

WV had a good gameplan, it worked well - until it didn’t. But it was a consequence of their strategy and poor shooting, not a “screw job.” Best of luck to both teams in the future.

Clark is the version of Steph Curry during his high school days at Davidson..She will go a long way when she turned pro...

If anyone honestly watching this game in its entirety OBJECTIVELY will see that the foul discrepancy was called correctly. West Virginia was the more aggressive team defensively and the referees called it correctly. Sure, some calls got missed on Iowa but I also counted at MINIMUM 10 or 12 more calls that were missed on West Virginia. WV put Iowa in the bonus early and it cost them.

That OB review was not a tough one. The ball was dropping and then changed directions. Their was no need to call a classical physics expert to analyze the phenomena.

14 minutes to show the Final 2 Minutes? Good grief.

FWIW i watched the game, i watched the previous game that WVU played against Princeton, they (WVU) play a hectic scrambling game but they are not under enough control in their frenetic pace of play. they foul way too much, frankly had the game against Princeton not been called very loose they wouldn't have survived that game. im guessing thats the style of play that coach is teaching ,and when i was coaching i worked under a very similar manner but hands have to come from underneath, they reach straight in too much to be successful trapping unless the ref's swallow the whistle. going back and reviewing this footage i didn't see anything that was called that was "ticky-tack" and this favored WVU, only "no call" i found surprising was in the very beginning and frankly the call would have gone against WVU in that had it been whistled as typically this type of situation far more frequently gets called on the offensive player. WVU potentially could be one of the best defending teams in the tourney, but they have a few fundamental issues to overcome in order to be truly special rather than just really good.
