The most-watched game in WBB history and the Three Stooges ref the game. The third foul and then the T on Clark were ridiculous. Mulkey is on the floor, and in the ref's faces all game, and you call a T on that?
Even Rebecca Lobo, who never says a bad word about anything connected to WBB, called BS on that one.

I dislike this phrase when applied to athletes, but I kept saying it about Caitlan throughout the game - especially during those last 4 "what pressure?" free throws: "What a machine." She's in a league of her own. If not, who's in it with her..... ------------------------------- Plenty of UConn fans keep insisting that Bueckers is just as good or better. There's just the little problem that she's barely played in any games the last 2 seasons while Clark has been busy scorching everybody. UCONN fans. Bumbling arrogant fools. When Geno retires the UCONN program will never be the same no matter who takes over. An end of an era. Unless you are a "UCONN fan" I don't know of anyone else who is a UCONN fan.

Incredible Tourney run by Clark, but she looked a bit mortal and not superhuman today.
I really don't like Mulkey. But she wins. First coach to get a Natty at 2 different schools. Broke a tie w/ Vanderveer, now #3 in Titles. Doubt she'll catch Summitt for #2, no way she catches Geno.

I used to enjoy watching them, but somewhere along the line that changed. I barely ever watch anymore.
There are some really cool people on their message board. But yeah, some of their fans are arrogant and entitled.

Sort of returned to the mean in the 2nd half, but LSU hitting 11-17 3's is insane when you look at their season stats. I bet they couldn't repeat that again in 50 tries. Good time to be out of your mind shooting.

Too much LSU offense for Iowa. LSU came through when it mattered most and you've got to respect them for that.
Inside the lines of a basketball court I have much respect for Mulkey. Outside of that tiny 50' x 94' boundary - none.

Good time to be out of your mind shooting. Yea, still don’t think LSU is the better team, certainly not that much better. But it was their day for sure, and not much Iowa could do about it. A lot of credit to Mulky - that team is mostly transfers, and they play well together.

It’s a damn shame the “refs” felt the need to expose themselves and change the complexion of the game early, but the way LSU shot the ball, I’m not sure having 22 on the court and NOT in foul trouble would have made ENOUGH of a difference. Mulkey is a pain in the ass, “look at me” peacock, but she IS ahelluva good, and passionate basketball coach.

How do they stay excited about playing in a cup cake conference every year? I really don't get the draw a recruit would have with that program other than a name from the past so to speak. Geno the Joe Paterno of WBB. Even Penn St. football is not the same now days.

And equating him with Paterno is disgusting, even for you.

You almost thought I asked you if you vacationed on Epstein island.

Scott will never win a championship. Geno has a much better shot. Yes, I think he’s a prick, but he’s a very good coach.

Expand upon that please, what is his ceiling in your mind. Also, Maybe the game has passed Geno by?

Go back to the LSU vs Utah game. If Utah's forward/center had made even 1 of 2 free throws, LSU may not have made the final four. Utah is going to be tough next year. The PAC has to be back next season. Disappointing post season.
